Our Krups coffee / espresso machine was 18 years old.  After breaking the 3rd carafe we decided to buy something new.  I do love the ease of this machine.  I love the versatility.  My old machine took grounds for the espresso and had the pressurized frother but I hardly used it.  The espresso tastes amazing from the capsules.  It’s so much easier but,…..the temperature isn’t hot.  I see steam when it’s brewing but when the beep says it’s done, it’s not hot and there is no steam.   I normally complain about coffee being way too hot to drink immediately.  I can drink the espresso immediately and after 2 mins on the counter it’s basically cold.  Very disappointed because I love the machine otherwise.  I am debating returning the item.  The coffee is hot from the pot.  If you brew a cup instead, the warmer isn’t on so it cools quickly.  I learned fast not to brew before I took a shower.  It’s hard to rate.  It would be 5 stars if not for the espresso temperature.
