KRUPS XP160050 Coffee Maker and Espresso Machine Combination, Black

CUSTOMER REVIEW



Vine Customer Review of Free Product (What's this?) Having read comments about this machine smelling like plastic I was worried that the machine would be inferior.But the machine is actually good.



Alas, I found that running a couple cycles of just water with a teaspoon of plain vinegar got rid of the smell.



They even note on page 7 of the instruction booklet 'To remove any residue from production which may rest in the appliance run the machine through one or two cycles with water only. Wash ALL loose parts in warm soapy water, rinse thoroughly and dry'. This is repeated on page 9 under the 'Preparing Coffee' section. How many people who are giving this machine poor marks did what the instructions said??????



Love how the drip grate under removes easily for cleaning. The clock is easy to set. Like that the coffee area holds a reusable cone filter since I dislike using paper filters. Appreciate the clean lines which also make for cleaning the machine easy.



The added bonus for me is it fits on the counter under the cupboards in my small older cottage here in the Sierras. You have no idea how many modern appliances are geared toward newer homes with cupboards higher up from the counters.
