Amazon.com Review
This nifty machine is excellent for the espresso master and for those hankering to become espresso experts. It conveniently lets you make 2 cups at once and features an auto cappuccino accessory that mounts on the steam nozzle and lets you froth large quantities of milk. The foam automatically pours into your waiting cup of espresso. And, making the process even easier, the machine also accommodates the new ESE (easy serving espresso) pods that eliminate grinding, measuring, and tamping--a tin of 18 pods comes with your machine. But if you'd rather master the classic way of making espresso, it works with ground espresso as well. There's also a handy dial to adjust the amount of froth that you want. The machine comes with a clear instructional manual that has lots of pictures and some basic but delicious recipes to get you started. --C. Whitney-Ward

| 34 of 34 people found the following review helpful  Fast and reliable but you have to learn how to use it., By Vernon Mount (Alexandria, VA USA) - See all my reviews This review is from: Krups 968-41 Novo 2300 Plus Automatic Cappuccino Machine, Black (Kitchen) I've used these machines every morning for at least 12 years, since the first Krups Espresso Novo came out. I use them to make my breakfast cappucino. Before they were available, I used La Pavoni, an Italian boiler machine, for about 10 years. The Krups are the best pump machines for the price.The boiler machines seem to take at least 5-8 minutes to heat up before you can get good steam. The Krups pump gives steam in about a minute or two. This saves a lot of time in the AM. And if you're making a lot of expresso or cappucinos for dinner guests, you don't run out of water and have to stop to cool the whole thing down to refill it so you can continue while everybody waits. I've had none of the problems with leaks, etc. that other reviewers have reported on, but I've had experience using these machines, and I have learned the technique. You have to tighten up the filter cup holder when putting the coffee in, or you get leaks. You have to keep coffee grounds off the metal...

When I first got this machine I had similar leaks for the first few times I used it. This can be easily avoided. Any espresso machine will leak a)if the coffee holder isn't sealed properly and b)if you try to make many cups of espresso rapidly or immediately after using the frothing mechanism. This is due to the natural buildup of steam. Too much steam and it's going to overflow the coffee holder. Like I say, I had coffee holder overflow because I kept doing these things too rapidly. Now, I don't even think about it. I make my espresso, froth my milk and either drink it myself or serve it to a friend. Either way, just a short time and it's ready to use again. Another objection I saw was that the water...

I think this approach will be more helpful to shoppers.The Bravo is a lower-priced machine which produces espresso by boiling water in a pressure vessel, which uses steam pressure for both brewing and to froth milk. The Novo is a pump unit. It heats water for espresso, and then uses a pump to develop enough pressure to force the water through a brewing head containing grounds. You use a different temperature setting to produce steam, rather than hot water, to steam and froth milk for lattes or cappuccinos. I used the Bravo for about 2-1/2 years. The unit is inexpensively priced, but the buyer need not have any concerns about quality. It is well-built, durable, and consistent. Basic operation of the machine is very simple, but you have to spend some time getting familiar with it in order to really get the... Read more |
