Krups Bravo Plus 872 Espresso Machine

Pros: Great espresso/cappuccino in the comfort of your own home!
Cons: Cleaning is no fun, but is it ever?

I'm addicted to mochas. I don't know that I could live without them at this point in my life...which is really kind of sad. What's evening more disgusting is that I purchased this machine as a birthday gift for my husband in order to support my habit....

Pros: Quickly brews espresso.
Cons: The milk frother is a bit unwieldy.

I got the Krups Espresso Machine through an EBay auction. It is a godsend. When I was in law school, I became highly dependent upon Starbucks, but the Starbucks bill ended up to be really hefty. So, I purchased this machine and my caffeine needs were...

Pros: Pros aren't going to like any home espresso machine, they are spoiled.
Cons: Cons probably don't get to drink espresso, it's a privilege so enjoy it while you can.

God I love espresso in the morning, it smells like . . . well, coffee. I used to work in a coffee house, and those early mornings dealing with the public were made bearable by a quick "Double Shot of My Baby's Love". Now I'm starting my...

Pros: easy to use, just right for 1 or 2 people
Cons: small water reservoir

I never had a latte until I moved out to Washington! Man, what I was missing!! I love a nice hot Sugar Free Irish Cream latte in the morning and now, since I bought this little machine a couple months ago, I can make them whenever I want to! This is a...

Pros: Quick, Easy, Delicious Espresso
Cons: none

I bought this Krups Espresso Bravo Plus #872 machine because I got tired of the same old coffee at work. I like to go to the coffee houses and have something special, but that gets very expensive if you go on a regular basis.So I thought I'd make these...

Pros: Simple, efficient espresso maker
Cons: None

As the sole coffee and espresso drinker in the house, my needs run to the smaller machines. I don't need one that will make my espresso, wake me up and have the optional siren. What I do need is a solid, reliable machine that will last and last. Krups...

Pros: Easy to use, good quality
Cons: Froth attachment clogs if not cleaned after every use

I'm a coffee and cappuccino addict. I've cut back on my caffeine intake dramatically recently but I still love a hot cup of coffee or a latte in the mornings. I've wanted an espresso maker for a while but had never bought one because I just wasn't...

Pros: Quick tasty brew
Cons: Too small for a large party

After happily using an older version of this machine for many years, my family decided it was time for an upgrade. They bought me a Krups Espremio FNP1 Espresso Maker which I ended up returning to the store. Still intent on replacing the trusty old...

Pros: It works..
Cons: Hard to read instructions..

I love mochas. love them. I had never made any type of coffee in my life until I received this Krups Espresso Maker for Christmas this year. Upon opening this present, I was very excited. Three hours later when I was still staring at the directions,...

Pros: Convenience of Lattes without leaving Home
Cons: Not Very Powerful

We bought this because we were going broke buying Starbuck's lattes that we love. Unfortunately we still keep going back to Starbucks because their darn desserts are soooo good. This is a little machine that is good for people like us who want the...

Pros: Makes excellent espresso (with crema), caps and lattes
Cons: Not enough steam power for two cups at a time

The Krups Bravo Plus makes excellent espresso, lattes and cappuccinos. Here are a few tips to get you making café as good as the best coffee bars.

Tip#1. Start with good coffee. I hate to say it, but Starbucks is the best I've found so far,...

Pros: Makes Great Coffee Treats
Cons: Makes Enough For 2 People

As the title might elude to I got this Krups Espresso machine for my one year anniversary. This little piece of machinery is a nice addition to my ever growing hope chest.


I was a little puzzled though by the suggested price of...

Pros: small, easy to use, makes great tasting espresso
Cons: not especially great for cappuchino or lattes

I am an avid fan of coffee in all its forms. From cappuchino to cafe latte, plain old coffee and yes, espresso. This unit was a great buy at under $100 and makes some great tasting espresso for that extra boost in the morning, late night study...

Pros: convenient, easy to use
Cons: slow, leaks if not carefully closed

For $70 (20 visits to Starbucks), you get a pretty reasonable cappucino without the commute. Krups is fairly well built, and easy to clean. It is quite durable (the last model I bought last me over 5 years) and easy to clean. Make sure you use purified...

Pros: Compact,nice price,great espresso, easy to use.
Cons: flimsy thumb guard, a little messy,(use more water that it says)

Hello. This is a fine espresso machine. I have enjoyed espressos from professional quality to Mr. Coffee machines, and this rates near the former. After ten years, it was time to discard my Mr. Coffee espresso maker. It had been a good friend to me,...
