Spotlight customer reviews:
Customer Rating: Summary: krups duothek review Comment: I have had to return the product. The product did not heat the water properly, therefore lukewarm weak coffee. This is my third Krups coffeemaker. The prior two worked fine. This one might have been a lemon. Customer Rating: Summary: CoffeePot by Krups Comment: Like this product. I think carafes should be a little tighter when connecting to top of coffepot. Gets a little water spurting out but otherwise we like the Krups coffee maker. Customer Rating: Summary: Krups XP 2070 Coffee / Espresso Maker Comment: We have owned Krups XP 2070 Dual Coffee Espresso Maker for about a year now. We thought we wanted one unit that did both coffee and expresso, we wanted a programmable unit, we wanted a pump espresso maker. Despite its cons it is one of the few dual units on the market and probably the best we have seen. It seems a little pricy for the overall quality.
The XP 2070 seemed to fit the bill.
Pros:
1. the machine looks good but is larger than the DeLongi unit we had previously.
2. It makes good drip coffee relatively fast
3. The construction is sold
4. It makes fine expresso
5. Automatically turns itself off after two hours.
6. Has a decent pot warmer
7. Has a cup warmer on top that is supposed to work
Cons:
1. What is with the beeping appliances lately! This unit beeps twice when you manually turn it on. If you program it to make coffee it beeps twice to let you know it is on this job. If you want a unit that beeps to let you know it is on or off this is for you.It beeps three times to let you know it is turning itself off after two hours.
2. The buttons on the face of the unit seem cheap and wobbly
3. The display is gray LCD which is nice UNTIL you turn it on then it becomes blinding Blue! The blue display is so bright we have to put a towel over it in the morning to keep from being blinded. If you want a display to light up your kitchen on a dark morning, this unit is for you.
4. The espresso pump is loud and vibrates
5. There is a little drawer under the espresso tray that is filled with some type of blow by from the espresso process. Make sure to empty it after every use. It is a surprise the first time and may end up on your shoes.
6. The clock is difficult to program, I am an engineer with 5 years of college and find to be non-intuitive.
7. I would like to be able to turn the beeping off
8. The espresso operation seems too difficult to operate.
