Would not buy another Krups until they return their parts quality to original standards.

Easy to use.
Well thought out in most regards.
Negative Product Points
Poor quality steamer
Detailed Commentary
Went through 3 new, identical machines in about 3 weeks and gave up on Krups. Each machine worked well on day one, then the steamer would get progressively worse with each passing day. Sometimes the pump was stubborn about running expresso through, also. $200 price is OK, but we‘ll hunt around for another brand in that price range.
