Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of KRUPS XP5220 Precise Tamp Pump Espresso Machine, Black and Stainless
Customer Review: Great design for tamping & removing grounds; sturdy machine
Summary: 5 Stars
After our 10-yr old DeLonghi machine quit working, we wanted another sturdy semi-automatic machine and settled on this Krups model. It feels hefty and well-made compared to others at this price level. After using it for 2 weeks (4 espressos a day), we are very pleased with the design, mostly for how it simplifies working with the coffee grounds. First, you don't need to tamp grounds into the holder - the racheting design automatically tamps the grounds as you twist the holder into place. Secondly, after the grounds have been used, the pop-out button simplifies ejecting the used grounds (the "puck") without having to bang the holder on your counter or garbage can. If you want even MORE simplicity, it holds ESE pods, which are readily available (Starbucks 12 for $4.95). We actually use the ESE pods for our decaffeniated espresso. Now, let's talk about that frother, which is the subject of most of these reviews. I experimented with the frother wand and had no problems. It worked well. However, most reviewers talk about the frother wand breaking down after months of use. So LISTEN UP - I have a little frother secret to share with everyone. We microwave our milk 90 seconds in a tall container, and then use a Bodum battery-operated mini whisk to create foam Bodum Schiuma Battery-Operated Milk Frother and Salad Dressing Set. Using this method, our frothed milk and espresso are ready simultaneously in about 90 seconds, and we don't have to worry about cleaning dried milk off that frother wand. I love the sturdy efficient Krups machine and feel it's a great value for under $200.
