Create your own caffeine buzz at home and skip the trip to the coffee shop.
Krups is known for creating high quality household appliances and has recently launched its new espresso machine, Krups EA9010. While it is a little expensive, the machine is very user friendly and has lots of different options to brew your cup of java-joe with an elegant milk foam feature. So let’s have a closer look.
How the Machine Looks
The black and silver body of the Krups EA9010 Espresso Machine has a very sleek and elegant look to it. The machine is well built and compact. It can hold about 9.9 ounces of whole coffee beans, which is then grounded in another section. Whole coffee beans can be deposited from the top, but if you are using coffee that is already grounded there is an option that allows you to deposit it in another compartment. Not a lot of coffee machines allow for this option, which is great because you will able to use decaf grounded coffee as well.
The machine is not complex because even though it has many features, it still feels very minimalistic. It has all its options on a touch screen, which makes it much more advanced than regular espresso machines. The options allow you to pick how strong and how much coffee you want.
Features
The machine comes with two glasses and a tank where you fill in the water for coffee. The box also contains some water testing materials to ensure the water you use is best for making coffee. The machine has an amazing self cleaning feature. After about ten cups of coffee the machine prompts the user to clean it.
The machine walks you through the cleaning process, such as telling you to empty the grounds and cleaning out the drip tray. Another attractive feature of the machine is that it has a two-step frothing process. It also heats your milk in the cup with a steam nozzle that descends from the top and rolls back. The machine works fairly quickly and you will spend about as much as you do buying coffee in a coffee shop. The box also contains a little recipe book where it explains how to make different types of coffee, including cappuccinos and lattes.
The machine even allows the user to set up favorites, which is great if there are many people using the machine. Krups EA9010 users find that their coffee has an enhanced taste and they can’t tell if it’s homemade or from the coffee shop. The only drawback of this machine is that the grounding creates a lot of noise and the machine is fairly expensive. However, if you really want some high quality cup of Joe every morning then the investment is worth it.
