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: Requires extremely fine ground coffee unless you're in a hurry and want to make your espresso in five seconds. Terrible froth from the autocappuccino system.
