Krupps Duel Coffee Maker

Excellent product. I was targeting the duel coffe pot with a non-glass caraff and found the Krupps. It has stainless steel caraffs, which keeps coffee hot for hours. Coffee maker is easy to pour, no drips and easy to use and clean. Overall we are very happy with our choice and Amazon was able locate me the best price on the internet.

Krups XP 2070 Coffee / Espresso Maker

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.

Best coffee ever!

This is the second Krups duo coffee maker we have had, and it is the best coffee maker design we have ever used. I hope Krups never stops making this coffee maker.

Customer Review :

Poor quality!

The On/Off switch broke after two months as well as one side of the hinge for the lid. We prefer the flavor of the coffee from vacuum brewing versus drip or French press but have been disappointed with the quality and design of the Bodum unit. There's been much discussion about the difficulty and tediousness of cleaning but that hasn't been much of a chore for us. We have been quite disappointed with the unit basically wearing out after three months of use.

Wonderful coffee, easy to clean, fun to watch, a little expensive

My Bodum Santos Mini Coffee maker is fast brewing, easy to use and clean, and fun to watch it brew. It has a semi-permanent nylon filter that can be removed for cleaning if you want - but I leave mine in during cleaning. I simply go to over to the sink and rinse out the upper part of the Santos which holds the grounds and quickly wipe the sides with a sponge. Time to completion of cleaning, 20 to 30 seconds at most. The 30 second cleaning is well worth the quality of coffee produced. I found the Mini produces about 3 to 4 normally large cups of coffee at most. Someone must be using really small coffee cups for them to list this as a 5 cup coffee maker (all coffee makers over rate their capacity though).

makes good coffee but wearing out after 4 years

This unit makes good strong coffee but the vacuum seal between top and bottom is wearing out. It now leaks air when the coffee is draing back down to the bottom again. This greatly slows down the process. I can't find a replacement seal for sale. Something as expensive as this should be quite a bit more durable.

I'm surprised at peoples' negative comments regarding cleaning. It's actually quite easy. I rinse it with water before using to get out the old grounds. The pot darkens over time. To get it all crystal clear again, I leave it full of water with a spoonful of oxyclean overnight. In the morning it's clear. No bottle brush needed.

As for keeping he coffee hot, I just dump it all in a thermos. Warming coffee in a coffee maker is not the way to go anyway. You wind up with bad coffee.

Good value for money

I have had a mini-Bodum for about 5 years. It brews an excellent pot of coffee--although I find the measure spoon (1 measure per cup) is too strong for my taste--I use about 1/3 less. (I get the best results with Starbucks Verona coffee ground on no. 5 setting.)

Yes, the machine will break eventually--I had to replace the nylon filter after 4 years, and finally the rubber vacuum seal failed on the original pot, so I bought a new unit. Never had problems with the heating unit. But what do you expect? It's made of plastic. For $60 I can afford to replace the unit every 4-5 years.

Bottom line, its better than drip coffee, and a whole lot cheaper than buying an automatic espresso machine.

Two thumbs down. It's overpriced crap.

Okay, I didn't pay much for my Bodem Clear Santos. Got it a garage sale for $2. A couple of months ago. I wouldn't buy another, I don't think much of this coffee maker.

It's a messy machine to use. The clean up of the upper chamber is just a pain in the butt. That would be okay, I guess, but it doesn't make good coffee and wastes a lot of grounds. The coffee it brews is weak and thin. For me to get a decent cup of coffee, it takes 7 coffee measures (about 7 tablespoons) to get anything out of a full pot of coffee.

It's very entertaining to watch, tho. And I find that if I pre-wet the grounds with a mug of very hot water, it does improve the taste of the coffee. And for making boiling hot water for tea or cup o noodles, it is among the fastest!!!

Guess I'm a philistine, I going back to my Gevalia Krups drip coffee brewer.
