Krups XP5220 Pump Espresso with Precise Tamp, Black and Stainless Review
We’ve had this espresso machine for just over a month and it works wonderfully.
It’s a huge step up from our previous model (XP4030). For one thing, the previous machine was extremely loud and vibrated so badly that it couldn’t be left unattended. We expected a bit more noise, and did get used to it, but not being able to turn our back while the coffee was brewing wasn’t an option. This machine is much quieter, and there is no vibration. I can leave the room and come back to find the carafe or cup in the same spot I left it.
The coffee does pull slower, but that’s not an issue for us.
Secondly, this machine has an auto tamping system. At first I was dubious about that, but now I love it. No more worrying about how far to tamp the grind down, just put it in the holder, put the holder in place, turn it a click or two, and you’re ready to go.
If you click too far, not only will the holder be too tight, but the coffee won’t flow. If nothing happens after a second or two, simply shut the machine off, release the holder, then click it one turn back. At that point it should work without having to remove any of the grounds (though in the beginning I did have to take a bit out). It takes a little practice, but you do learn how much ground to put in the holder.
The third thing that this machine has over our previous one…NO THIN RUBBER GASKET!! That was a big draw. We had spent quite a bit of money replacing gaskets (from the six month point on), and every other machine that we looked at (and we looked at them all) had the same rubber gasket.
Fourth, Krups finally got wise and encased the metal that was behind the drip tray. No more exposed metal, no more rusting. And instead of a pull out drip tray, the entire piece lifts off for easy emptying.
All of these things made the machine more expensive than our previous one, but it’s less expensive than a lot of the brands/models we looked at. And though we’re serious about our espresso/Americano’s, we’re not ready to take the plunge into the machines that cost hundreds of dollars. This is a good alternative (for us anyway).
We’ve had no problems with the frothing wand. It seems as sturdy as any of the others we’ve seen.
I will say that with our old machine it was extremely difficult to develop a good froth. With this one, I expected about the same, but then we hadn’t purchased the machine for fancy drinks.
That said, this machine makes a fantastic froth and it’s very simple to use. I had given up even trying with our previous machine, and whenever I wanted a cappuccino my husband had to do it (with mixed results and never quite as good as our old steam espresso maker).
It’s nice to be able to make my own cappuccino’s now. 
Who knows. I may be back in a few months with some negative comments, but for right now we’re enjoying this machine.
Krups XP5220 Pump Espresso with Precise Tamp, Black and Stainless Overviews
Inspired by experts and demanding consumers with uncompromising standards of performance and quality, Krups products have been built with three key attributes in mind: Passion, Precision and Perfection. Be your own barista at home with the Krups XP5220 Precise Tamp Espresso Machine. With 1400 watts of power, and a 15 bar Thermoblock System, the Precise Tamp machine extracts a perfect shot every time for delicious espresso, latte or cappuccino drinks. The Precise Tamp Technology automatically tamps your grounds evenly to the optimum level, directly against the brewing head to minimize the puddling and tunneling. Simply scoop your espresso grounds into the filter holder; use less or more grounds to adjust your strength of your espresso; insert the filter holder and turn to the right until the filter holder stops. This advanced brewing system pre-heats twice as fast and requires less frequent descaling. The universal filter holds ground coffee, ESE or soft pods, and clicks into place for one or two cups. Clean up is simple thanks to a new easy-clean froth nozzle and no-mess filter cake ejection system. Beautifully designed in black with a die cast finish, the XP5220 features a removable water tank and drip tray.

Keurig B-70 B70 Platinum Single-Cup Home Brewing System Review
It wasn’t long after I got my brewer that I started having problems with minimum coffee dispensed & not enough water pumping through. I descaled it a few times with no luck. Then I took the water container off & to my surprise, the tiny filter was clogged with a slimy substance & not letting any water through the pump! I cleaned it out gently with a toothpick & a q-tip. Since then, I have not had any problems that a good descaling could not fix. (I use the machine a lot too)! I bet this is why most of these pumps are failing. Descaling will not get rid of this problem. You have to do it manually & check it every so often. I’ve cleaned mine out twice so far. I use filtered water only in the machine & I’ve had it about a year or so.

BX-B Classic 10-Cup Home Coffee Brewer in Black Review
I am very pleased with this Bunn Coffee Maker. This nice thing about it is….Hmmmm…Everything. Instead of the water just dripping straight down, the Bunn has a sprayer which sprays all of the coffee equally. There is a long spring that comes with the unit which is used to keep it from becoming clogged from water impurities. Simply unscrew the sprayer head which screws off without any problem, push the spring in the opening of the dripper and it is all cleared out. then of course, run some water through it to get the loose deposits out. The pot for this is nice because as we all know that most of the pots that have been on the market for twenty-thirty years, spill all over when trying to pour into a cup….Not so with the Bunn, it pours very nicely. Also, the one thing that nobody mentioned in their review of this product is THE REPLACEMENT POT. I have already broke a pot on the sink when I was half awake. I had to guess at which backup pot to buy for this unit. The BUNN NCD 10-Cup Black Coffee Decanter is the proper one which is just like the one which comes with the unit. If you are a coffee addict like me, you will appreciate this coffee make. I can’t say enough about it. The heck with the 5 stars, I give it 10 stars. By the way, order a backup decanter when you order your coffee maker as I did. That way you will be prepared. I have already purchased 2 more additional decanters…..I hope this helped you.
