Krups Combination Espresso Maker – XP2070

Krups has entered the market with an espresso and coffee combination machine that appears to be a decent little item, including a pump driven espresso maker instead of the usual steam driven machines that produce an inferior cup of espresso. The Krups XP2070 is the digitally controlled espresso and coffee combination machine that has a 15 bar pump driven thermoblock espresso set-up and a 32 ounce reservoir for the espresso side of things. The portafilter comes with 3 inserts, a single, double and an ESE Espresso pod insert. On the drip coffee side of things, it has a 10-cup capacity for handling the regular coffee duties.

The brushed stainless exterior is good looking and its digital controls are easy to read. They allow you to prepare singles, doubles and has automatic shut off capability.

The Krups XP 2070 has a little brother, the dial based XP2010 espresso machine.
