Krups Espresseria EA8108 Automatic Bean to Cup Coffee Machine, Black

Great product, easy to use and it makes great coffee. Replaced our old tassimo with this and I would definitely recommend. Only slight gripe is the design of the steam nozzle which blocks easily and gets dirty because of the small crevices. Not a major issue though, as it’s easy and quick to remove and clean. Overall a great machine and should work out a lot cheaper than buying pods in the long run. I would also buy some of the krups de-scaling sachets as it doesn’t come with any but it does come with 2 cleaning tablets.

we have had this machine for 1.5 years and it has now broken/leaking coffee all over. Not suitable really for using in a business, home only I would think. Otherwise it is a good machine and very easy to use.

Only had this item a clue of weeks but I have found it to be brilliant, really easy to use and does make a great coffee. I cannot think how anyone could find it difficult to set up and use. If this turns out to be as reliable as Krupps say it is then i think you would find it very difficult to get a better machine for the money. I have had some very expensive coffee machines and this stands up well to any of them. As I say if the build quality is as good as the coffee it turns out then you cannot go wrong.

Nice looking machine. My only criticisms are a) the steam wand which is great until the tiny feedback hole needed to make the froth blocks up. Failed to unblock it even using the tiny pin that comes with the descaling pill. b) The complex function modes, you really need the instruction book. I assume this is why subsequent models have a screen. However, once set up, it’s as simple as pressing a button.

This machine only lasted about 6 months, it is not robust at all. Unfortunately, there appears to be no warranty period on this machine, unlike most similar machines which have a 1-2 year warranty Additionally, the selection of options is poor, and control of the coffee strength profile is crude. I would definitely not recommend it at all!

Great automatic bean to cup machine. Looks very stylish Brews good espresso with a degree of customisation (strength / size / corse) Simple set up and easy to get started Nice, hot espresso Tidy and clean!

There is nothing bad you can say about this piece of kitchen equipment. My wife is a coffee addict and to give her a good cup of coffee was a must. This machine definitely does that every time. Would highly recommend it to every one. Fantastic.

As a single cup expresso maker, and for cappuccino too, this is an ok coffee machine. It is bean to cup, which is good for freshness, and is well designed in terms of cleaning and servicing. The espresso produced has a perfect crema and tastes good. Unfortunately I have enough niggles with it so that I can't recommend it. Firstly, there is a basic strength setting (weak/strong) and 3 grinding settings. This is not good if you want 2 cups of strong espresso or indeed a longer, strong coffee - it will only have a single shot. The manual recommends making 2 or more separate shots in the same cup if you want this - not ideal. Finally the unit as a whole vibrates when grinding and dispensing. I've included a video that shows this - the effect is that you cannot press a button and walk away because the coffee cup moves away from the dispensers! Better design on the drip tray could have overcome this. There are other coffee makers in this range that have more controls and if you want something other than a basic single shot of espresso I would give them a look.
