Krups Bravo Plus 872 Espresso Machine

Pros: makes decent espresso
Cons: frothing attachment is unreliable uses steam to make brew espresso

My experience with Krups products has not been good. Three out of three Krups products I have used have not worked right out of the box, or a few months down the road. Two of the three units were regular coffee makers. The quality of brewed coffee from...

Pros: after using a pump espresso machine, none
Cons: uses steam to make the espresso, frothing attachment unreliable

The Krups Espresso Bravo is not a true espresso machine. The Bravo uses steam pressure, not a pump, to force the hot water through the ground coffee. The result is not the espresso that you find at a good coffee house, but instead is just strong coffee....

Pros: Great for quick cup of cappuccino at home
Cons: Not good for more than two people

I love cappuccino, so I bought Krups Expresso Bravo Plus so that I could make some at home. Because - you can't always run to Starbucks!

This appliance always turns out a good cup of cappuccino or espresso. In fact, it always turns out good...

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: Size, Dependability
Cons: Messy

What a little gem. this product is great for making that one single or double latte or espresso. Like I said, its all about the caffeine, who cares about the mess or the time it consumes to get a beverage made. Lets face it, it will always be easier...

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: Nifty attachment for foaming milk
Cons: Dangerous!!!

I got this machine for Christmas a couple of years back. I love cappuccino, and my husband thought this would be a great gift, and at first it was. Then, within a month or so the switch became tempermental. You turn it one way to brew, and the other...

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,...

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: Very easy to use and clean
Cons: Only makes a very small amount

When my wife first said she wanted a cappuccino and espresso machine, I had my doubts. I thought it would be a pain to deal with and that we wouldn't use it. Was I wrong. We use our Krups regularly for family gatherings and dinner parties. It is...

Pros: SIMPLE TO USE, EASY TO CLEAN AND TASTES FRESHLY BREWED
Cons: ONLY COMES IN ONE COLOR - BLACK.

My family has served expresso coffee after each main meal all my life. From the age of 6, I was taught to make expresso with the usual neopolitan coffeepot. When I got married, my godchild bought me a Krups Expresso Bravo machine as a house-warming...

Pros: compact, easy to clean
Cons: none

Great for at home when you can not make the stop at the coffee shop in the a.m. or if you want a decaf in the evening without going out for it....easy clean...easy use....compact on the counter. Super product to be given as a gift for wedding or...

Pros: Cool-looking black, makes espresso
Cons: Doesn't make cappuccino very well

I was really excited about getting this for my wedding, because I was tired of spending $4 a pop at Starbucks. The first couple of times I used it, it was great. The milk foamed and frothed, the cappuccino delicious, and I was very happy. The unit is...

Pros: Price, decent latte's etc. if you're not a "coffee expert".
Cons: Directions are confusing...it doesn't answer questions you may have. Too long to warm up!

Being an old Starbuck's employee I didn't expect much for a $60 machine...and so I wasn't disappointed...I didn't get much. It isn't fancy but it does the job alright. I'm used to the machines that are sold through Starbucks costing btw. $300-$600, of ...

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....
