Krups long had a line of espresso machines in the Novo Lineup, which has been discontinued since 2004. This category is for any machine bearing the Novo name.

Bottom Line: Remove the pressurizing rubber part, you can make a good espresso! Remove "perfect frother" attachment, you can create a good microfoam!

Bottom Line: Question: Why buy a Krups when you can buy Leggo? If you're serious, go for a Rancilio or Gaggia anything.
