When you don't have a lot of time, it can be maddening to have to brew your coffee yourself. While instant coffee is an excellent solution for time pressed individuals, having a high quality coffee maker that makes espresso was almost a necessity in my case. I am pleased to say my life is far simpler with my Krups XP4050, and I can enjoy an excellent cup of coffee with very little effort.

Being a busy person, there is nothing more frustrating than having to make your coffee manually. While instant coffee is an excellent solution for time pressed individuals, having a high quality coffee maker that makes espresso was almost a necessity in my case. I am pleased to say my life is far simpler with my Krups XP4050, and I can enjoy an excellent cup of coffee with very little effort.
Now, I did not select this model simply because it could make coffee, but rather because it could make espresso, which is a must to get my day started. I guess I had seen my money being wasted as I spent large amounts every morning for a quick fix. However, I am extremely pleased with what this excellent coffee maker can do.
What made me by this machine? I have to admit that I did not have a lot of money, thanks to all the espressos I bought from a commercial cafe, so I was unable to buy my first choice. But, when considering the numerous features, you can tell that my purchase was a good one.
It operates on 1200 watts
Fully programmable settings
Fifteen pressure bars for the pump
The buttons are simple to use
Inserts to accommodate ESE, double and/or single espresso pods
There is a tray for heating up mugs
Thirty-two ounce water reservoir tank
It comes with a steam wand and the capability to froth milk
It will brew several different cup sizes
It will brew several different strengths
Weighing in at a mere twelve pounds, this machine may be lightweight, but the espresso that it produces is very good. This model is manufactured by a leading European company that specializes in drink and food. It is a very stylish appliance that makes a great cup of real European-style espresso.
Interestingly, I discovered recently, after finally reading the manual properly, that my machine can even make cappuccino. I am amazed! My friends, safe to say, will be visiting soon. On her way to work, my neighbor is already coming over for a cup of coffee!
