With the fast pace of today’s world, taking time to make your own cup of coffee manually can be quite frustrating. While instant coffee is an excellent solution for time pressed individuals, having a high quality coffee maker that makes espresso was almost a necessity in my case. I am pleased to say my life is far simpler with my Krups XP4050, and I can enjoy an excellent cup of coffee with very little effort.

Now, I did not select this model simply because it could make coffee, but rather because it could make espresso, which is a must to get my day started. Once, I had considered the money I spent every morning to get my fix as a waste. However, with this machine and it’s excellent features, I no longer consider it as such.

Why did I purchase this specific model? Unfortunately, the cost of my fix every morning left me a little financially strained, so I was unable to purchase the model I really wanted. However, considering all the features of this model, my choice was a fair one:

  • 1200 watts for power
  • Fully programmable settings
  • Fifteen pressure bars for the pump
  • Simple push buttons
  • Various inserts for double or single espressos, and ESE
  • Warming Tray
  • 32 oz Removable Water Tank
  • Milk Frothing Tool and Steaming Wand
  • Multiple Cup size options
  • Strength options

While this machine only weighs a mere 12 lbs, it still performs as well if not better than its heavier counterparts. Designed by one of Europe’s best known food & drink preparation producers, the Krups XP4050 is an excellent machine that performs with finesse. After perusing through the model’s manual, I discovered that my model can even make cappuccinos. Simply amazing! Once my friends know about this machine, I am sure many will be paying a visit. As it is, my next door neighbor stops over and has a cup of coffee with me before work every morning!
