I promised myself years ago that one day I would have a fancy coffee machine. My lovely Great-Uncle passed, sadly, rest his soul, and he very generously remembered myself and my family. The Krups is a great machine. Not to big, just right. Beautiful looking machine. Digital panel a good size easily read. Grinds beans to your strength. Dispatches to your cup size. The aroma is absolutely wonderful! Self cleaning but tells you when to deep clean. Tablets supplied. Careful with the steam nozzle! Use a cloth! It can come off with the power. I rate this machine 10/10. You will love the coffee experience.

After much deliberation and research on which bean to cup machine to purchase I'm so glad I decided upon the Krups Arabica Digital. One week in and I'm enjoying creamy long blacks of better quality than some of the well known High Street coffee shops. After a hassle free easy set up, I spent a morning drinking far too much caffeine while I adjusted the machine to my taste buds (this is probably the hardest bit of set up). This machine is so easy to use and program in your fave coffee (strength, water amount). Usually a black coffee drinker I've dabbled in making a latte and the milk steamer is straight forward to use and clean too. Would definitely recommend to coffee affectionados who need an idiot proof bean to cup machine, which makes top class coffee. :)

I am really pleased with our new KRUPS Digital Bean to Cup machine. The machine is very simple to use with its clear digital settings and the instruction manual is also easy to follow. We love how easy it is to fill up the water tank and generally how easy it is to clean. My only little gripe is that the steam nozzle for frothing milk is a little flimsy and has come off a few times during the steaming process. For the price, I don’t think you’ll get a better machine!

Very pleased with this machine, and I do recommend it. Put coffee beans in the top, water in the back, press the On button then press the Start button when the preheat cycle finishes, and it makes coffee. You can make two cups at the same time, and also different size and strength cups - see the instructions for details. Controls are easy to use and you can save up to two favourite settings. Not yet sure how long a 250gm pack of beans will last me, but it's looking like I will reduce my coffee bill by about two thirds of what I was paying for coffee capsules, without the waste capsules to dispose off. The used grounds can just go into the flower beds in my garden. I personally don't use the steam nozzle, but it is available to froth milk or warm up the drink. A couple of very minor issues with the instructions. Firstly they say to test your local water hardness with the supplied test strip, but that is no longer supplied. I am in a soft water area so I just selected a very low setting. Secondly the instructions do say clearly to empty the used grounds when the indicator comes on. What they don't mention is that you also need to empty the drip tray, because it will have filled up as well.

Top deal in Black Friday, simple to set up and easy to use, with a good lcd display. Lovely coffee, you can set the strength of your brew and water hardness. Would possible benefit from a water filter as part of the package or a recommendation which filter to buy.

Perfect for making a quick coffee in the morning. Good quality simple coffee machine.

Having had an Melitta bean to cup machine for 4 years that has been sent back to the repair centre on average every six months at a cost of £140+ (incl courier charges) each time I decided to just buy a simpler product. This machine is great. It doesn't have such a range of coffee options but I drink espresso and cafe creme (black) so don't need them. It is quicker to start up, simpler to operate and doesnt require all the cleaning regimes of the Melitta and, at about 1/3rd of the cost it was almost as cheap as the twice per year repair bills of the Melitta. It also has a smaller footprint. If you love a good espresso or a straight-forward latte it's ideal.

Machine features are really good with the ability to customise the amount of water in your coffee. Also straight and the texture of the grind. Coffee I made was really good and so easy to set up. Now the reason it only gets two stars. When I went to steam my milk the frother would suddenly blow off and steam would go everywhere which would send milk all over machine, me and surrounding area. Luckily the milk never got hot as this usually happened within the first twenty seconds. Think this machine was producing far to much steam pressure but wasn't prepared to risk another machine developing this fault after the guarantee ran out so swapped it for a delonghi which is working fine.
