KrupsArabica Digital Automatic Coffee Machine, Bean to Cup, Espresso & Cappuccino Maker, 1.7 litre Water Tank, Silver, EA817840

Worked fine until this morning. Suddenly stuck in rinse mode, round and round until I got dizzy. Then decided to get stuck in 'empty grounds' mode. Nyarghhhh. Looking online it seems there is a common issue of getting such problems after trying to clean it.

Amazing coffee machine. Always wanted a bean to cup coffee machine, this little baby is total brillant and for half the price of a new one, sometime its worth checking the used sell. I was a little bit worried to purchase one that has been used after reading the defects on some of them. But on my machine you could not notice the 1inch scratch that was mentioned. Usaually I have black coffee, every now and then I have a frothy milky coffee and the froth steam is just brill.

i had a Krups machine which lasted for 5 years and was excellent, produced lovely coffee and coped with the demands of 4 coffee drinkers in out house without missing a beat. when it finally bit the dust i automatically wanted the same again. this one was the "updated model" which was supposed to be better! - within a year it was playing up and not working properly + leaking. i had to send it back to Amazon for a "repair", came back scratched and dirty. it worked for a bit longer but kept intermittently playing up. the cleaning system never really managed to clean it properly so it gradually got worse until it was just out of warranty and packed up altogether!i will never by another Krups machine, and i will never buy any appliances from Amazon as their aftercare service for repairable items is atrocious.

Easy to operate coffee wise...Nice size for just the 2 of us.When we have guests, we have to keep filling the water tank upA bit of a pain using the milk frother, but hopefully will get used to it..And a bit on the noisy side, being in open plan living.

Ok, I probably didn't need this and if Amazon hasn't of had it on such an amazing deal I don't think my partner would have let me get it. And let's be honest, unless you are the type who visits Starbucks/Costa every day youdon't "need" one of these either. But if you enjoy your coffee you do definitely want one.So compared to the pod type coffee machines you have the advantage of being better for the planet as you are not throwing away the pods every drink. And if you have a machine where you can get refillable pods this is much tidier as the ground in compressed in to patties and dropped into a container at the side that you have to empty after so many drinks.Cost wise, if you drink cappuccinos or lattes this will work out cheaper and pay for itself very quickly. Well, it will unless you start purchasing really expensive coffees, but I won't tell if you don't. And my latte loving brother expresses how much nicer the lattes are from this machine compared to the pod machines. And while I'm sure it would get boring if I drank then all the time, it is actually quite fun to make the perfect coffee.I drink black coffee and after many bags of coffee it works out that this isn't really very much cheaper than pod machines, but with all the option such grind fineness and amount, amount of water, one cup of two, which can then all be saved so this makes the perfect coffee for me every time.My only complaint is the water tank. You would have thought that they would have come up with something better than the plastic tank strapped on to the back technique that you have to lift over the machine every time.So, did I need this machine? I have been trying to convince my tea drinking partner that I did but no. Is it saving me money? Again, trying to convince my partner that when her sister, my brother or our daughter visits this is much cheaper, but also again, no. Do I regret paying way too much for a machine that is just making Americanos? Hell no.

The media could not be loaded. I love coffee fresh beans. The smell. The taste. Everything. I had a barista machine and the old faithful tassimo for when your running late. My wife hates the mess made by the barista machine but I love the coffee so this was a compromise.After reading the reviews I wasn't sure what to expect but my machine is great.First time I used the steamer it fell off so I pushed it on properly and had no issues since.Personal I find it a little weak on the coffee but this is easily solved just make a double espresso or a triple espresso on its strongest setting and it's as strong as the barista machine.I love the easiness of using just press the button and a couple of minutes later nice fresh coffee that tastes great.I have le creuset cup which all fit under the machine with ease so don't do what I did after reading the reviews and get a small jug as cup do fit under with room to spare. Definitely worth it's money I've had it a week now and must have run 60 coffees on it without any problems other than me forgetting to put the bin back properly on the first day and spent 1 hour calling it stupid thinking it was a grinder problem to then find I'm stupid and just needed to push the waste bin in a little more....... so its now been 3 months on and my machine is still working great. Makes about 12 coffees per day or goes though 1kg of coffee per week and still going good no issues with the milk steamer. Great machine

Coffee wise it's brilliant, couldn't have asked for a better machine. The frother side though, it keeps popping off when I'm putting the steam into my milk and the milk ends up everywhere. I've tried making sure its dry and pushed in correctly. Still pops off.

It was a gift from my in-laws and it is a very good one. I love the quality of the coffee. The size of it is alright nothing too big, it makes a bit of noise but I wouldn't know if it is too loud as I don't know what are they supposed to sound like. The only thing I'd say is that when I make a coffee with water it doesn't really make the coffee hot. The water comes out a bit cold so I have to reheat it.
