Full review
If you want a good quality, pump driven, espresso machine, for home and not pay an arm and a leg for it then this machine is for you.
The Krups XP4030 espresso has a nice Crema to it and the taste is smooth and rich. The Frother is easy to use to froth or steam milk and easy to clean. It has a nice little warming tray on top to keep your espresso warm will you are using the frother.
The Krups XP4030 has a large removable 32 oz water tank so there is no constant filling up involved. Everything stores nicely in the machine so there is no tumbling around the kitchen looking for filters when you get ready to make your espresso. The trip tray is easy to remove to clean.The two things I dislike about this machine:
It is noisy and will vibrate the cup or espresso carafe from the flow of the espresso brewing, if you are not watching it ,and into the drip tray.
I wish it had a dial on it so you can choose one or two cups of espresso and have it stop on its own.
So why buy the Krups XP4030?
I have owned a few Krups brand kitchen appliances and they last for years. The machine is easy to use and easy to clean. The price and quality of the machine are outstanding. You will not want to use a Steam Espresso machine after you experience the taste of the espresso from a pump driven machine, like this one.
