Automatic espresso in your kitchen
Many of us make a trip to the local Starbucks first thing in the morning because we don't want to have to mess with making our own espresso. There's a process to making good espresso, and sometimes it's just easier to leave it up to an expert. But with the Automatic Espresso Machine XP7225 from Krups, it's possible to put an expert on your kitchen counter.
This espresso machine is fully automatic: all you need to do is add the necessary ingredients and it will brew a cup to your specifications. Even cleaning it requires minimal work; you only need to clean the machine once a year. The system is controlled through a digital menu that allows you to easily select options and offers features like a water filtration system and a steam nozzle for frothing milk.
The Automatic Espresso Machine XP7225 is a small unit, sized to fit in even the most compact kitchens. It's 12.5 inches long, 9.5 inches wide, and 14.25 inches tall. It's priced at $999.99. Krups also offers several other models of its Automatic Espresso Machines, with varying features. All of them, however, offer fully automatic services and high-quality espresso.
Krups? Superautomated machines? And a nearly four-figure price? Gouge city. I've yet to meet a machine made of cheap plastic at any price that makes even decent espresso -- Krups' entire product line included.
