Krups 985-42 Il Caffe Duomo Coffee and Espresso Machine Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've owned this coffeemaker for about 8 years now and it still works fantastically and makes great coffee. I'm very puzzled at the bad reviews I've read, since I've never once experienced the issues put forth. My machine and carafe have never leaked - not once. The steamer and Perfect Froth attachment makes a great froth, is easy to clean, and if you use the amounts of water demarcated on the carafe, it makes great espresso and there's plenty of time for steaming (in fact, I usually have more steam available than I need). I set aside my milk ahead of time, and never have an issue with having my espresso go cold before the milk's done. Putting all the pieces together really only takes a few minutes of practice if you've never done it before - I had, but I've had friends use this machine for their first time making espresso with no problems. I recommend buying a permanent gold filter for the coffee side, but I would recommend that for any machine (Krups makes one to fit this machine). You get more flavor out of your grounds, and the gold mesh doesn't hold onto oils. Basically, if you take a few minutes to learn to use the machine properly, which is not difficult, you'll have a dependable machine that will produce consistent results day after day.
As a former professional barista, I'd recommend this for home use. It'd be fabulous if we could all have an espresso bar at home with a water input, and could make four cups and steam milk at once, but that's not affordable or feasible for most people - this machine is.

Love all manner of coffee drinks? Then consider this combination machine that allows you to brew coffee in the morning, cappuccino in the afternoon, and espresso after dinner (or the other way around depending on your sleep schedule). In this steam espresso maker, water is heated in a sealed boiling chamber and then released through the brew head for espresso or the steam arm for frothing milk. Once the steam has been exhausted, the machine must be allowed to cool prior to opening the sealed boiling chamber and refilling with water. For this reason steam powered machines are best for those who don't want to brew larger amounts of espresso at one time.
