We are more than happy with this product, it is user friendly and the with 15 Bar pump pressure you can make the perfect cup of coffee in minutes, although it has the facility to do two cups of coffee at once we find it easier to do one cup at a time, we cannot fault this product it is good value for money and with a little practice you can get a excellent results.
FIRST IMPRESSIONS - BRILLIANT December 30, 2007

I've had a De Longhi Cafe Treviso machine for 18 months and have always been very happy with it. MY WIFE HATES THE NOISE THOUGH! OK it is a bit loud! Anyway she suggested that I find a quieter alternative so I set off to the shops.
Found the Krups XP4020 in a local shop - display model - haggled - 89 it's mine (sorry Amazon) - take it home - set it up - read book.
CAN'T BELIEVE JUST HOW GOOD IT IS. I am an out and out espresso drinker and the first cup I made had the most INCREDIBLE CREMA - I MEAN THICK DEEP SEXY CREMA like a NERO (my favourite High Street Coffee Shop!)
Wife happy - purrs like the cats! That's the machine not my wife!
Forget the warming up coffee holder by running through without coffee - you really don't need to!
OK what would happen if someone wanted a cappucino? FROTHER WORKS BRILLIANTLY! I do tend to use a Bodum Aero Latte as well - That really does the trick!
To put it mildly I'm really impressed! ECSTATIC ACTUALLY!

I bought this coffee machine together with the Krups milk frothing jug and I am absolutely delighted with it. I love cappuccino's and am pleased to say that it is really easy to get shop bought quality drinks with this machine. I found that skimmed milk works best for getting really good froth and give it a good minute or so to really heat the milk through and you will get a lovely coffee at the end.
Very good for the money February 20, 2008

I bought this espresso maker recently to replace an ageing Russell Hobbs that I inherited from my Mum. I found it a good buy for the price. As stated previously even on the first cup (after two cleaning run throughs as per manual) it produced a lovely rich crema.
It also takes very little time to actual produce the coffee. At first attempt it was noisy but it was the pump trying to take water from the tank which wasnt seated properly - as its removable you have to make sure you press it down securely so it engages the feeder pipe.
Everything is sturdly made and to those that had leaks you are a) doing something wrong or b) have a dodgy one.
I used my favourite illy ground espresso coffee and no problems. I tamped the top and had no leaks doing this.
Also as for someone who criticised the manual, Im guessing you didnt get the same one as me as it was very easy to read with plenty of diagrams (at the front) so I really didnt find a problem here. Yes a few words were mis-spelt but it was obvious what they meant.

After much deliberation i finally bought this particular coffee maker due to price and percived quality provided by Krups. I cannot fault it to be honest the main point to remember is that it is important as with all makers like this to make sure you use good quality coffee ground to expresso. The previous comments about leaking can be caused by using the incorrect ground coffee, sometimes i have experinced this when buying cheap grounds. I do not doubt that in time bits will need replacing just like kettles etc, however if you buy this product for your kitchen,rather than to make coffee in volumes like your local starbucks, you will not be disappointed
