I took w/ me to europe and back where my wife and went to countless coffee shops over the 4 and a half years we were there. I've had one of these I purchased locally for about 7 years now and ran 2-4 pots of coffee through it a day. It has always made some of the best coffee around (the neighbors came to our house for coffee). (roughly 9000. pots of coffee plus espresso and still running strong). Almost as good as the professional machines at shops I went to in Germany. If you're a watery,looking-like tea, one-cup-a-day drinker, then move along and have a cup up sanka you weenie.(it's more than you need) but if you're an avid java junkie and like whipping up your espresso-based drinks, look no more.
Overall, this is an excellent reliable coffee/espresso combo maker. But the machine has been a champ.
About years later it finally is having trouble with it's power switch. I'm looking into a new one in the hopes that I can take advantage of some of the industries innovations.
I bought this maker around 1993. could be better.
It has worked like a champ and got me through college, brewing one to two pots a day. The espresso this machine makes is ok.
It has been with me through 10+ moves over the past 16 years and if it weren't for the power switch I'd hope to keep it for another 16. Your money will be well spent.
This was a gift for a newly wed couple it was shipped in a timely mannor and they are very happy with the caffe bistro.Thanks,Susan Boyd
Each one has lasted about 4-5 years. This is my 3rd or 4th Krups coffee/espresso/cappuccino machine. I received the first one as a gift and every time the machine stopped working correctly, I've replaced it with the identical machine. I make about 30 pots of coffee per week. I hope they never stop making this machine, I love it.
I received the Krups Caffe Bistro coffee/espresso maker 10 years ago as a gift. After 10 years, it died out last week.I'm on Amazon today not surprised at all to see the exact product still on the market. It never malfunctioned. It made wonderful frothy latte, strong espresso, and great coffee. I'm buying another one today. Here's to another 10 years.
