My Very Own Coffee Barista

I was looking for a combination espresso-coffee maker to fit a specific space in the kitchen. The width and heigth of the unit had to fit within that area.

There aren't too many combo machines out there, but the Krups xp2010 combination unit fits the bill perfectly. It’s like having my very own coffee barista at home.

It's very quick at producing a good espresso and the coffee maker works great too, filling a 10-cup pot in less than nine minutes.

One of my friends claimed the espresso head leaked. I haven't had that problem. Maybe she didn't tighten the head enough or she’s tossing ESE pods in the filter holder without properly adjusting them.

Who knows? I know you can spend a lot more for a standalone espresso machine, but for a combination espresso-coffee machine the Krups works just fine.
