Coffee Maker Reviews – the complete guide to finding the top espresso machine

This Krups XP4030 Pump espresso machine is a great machine for individuals who wish to graduate from a traditional drip coffee maker.

Krups is a long trusted brand and for good reason. This Krups XP4030 represents the newest European designs yet maintains the rigorous and clearly functional characteristics synonymous with Krups products.

Specifically designed for easy operation, the Krups XP4030 is a 15 bar pump espresso machine. It claims to be “fool proof”, however we would not agree with this declaration. It can be a little tricky at times but is equipped with a patented “Perfect Froth System” which makes the process of steaming and frothing milk for cappuccino or latte simple. It has a high convenience filter holder that has 3 different settings: 1 for 1 serving, 2 for 2 servings of espresso, and 3 for ESE Pods, so you can have the best of both worlds as you can choose between ground coffee or pods. The auto cappuccino system also precisely combines the right amount of steam and air to easily froth milk, and it is best to use cold milk for the ideal froth.

But really, for the money, this Krups XP4030 pump is totally worth it.
