Looks great & is well built. Works well if you have the right grind & tamp.
Negative Product Points
Not very consistent. Very finicky with grind & tamp. Should have come with an unpressurized basket.
Detailed Commentary
I'm currently in the search for a Krups 2-cup unpressurized basket (part #MS-0907163). I have heard great things from users who have purchased this for their machine. I am eager to find out how my espresso is going to turn out. I have found that the grind has to be more coarse than standard espresso grind. My advise is to find a grinding setting that keeps the consistency of a grind that works for you. Otherwise you will be ending up with water in your basket or lack of espresso. Takes some time getting used to but I feel it's a great starter machine in which you can grow on.
