I have a couple of questions about this espresso maker. The description for this is Krups XP100050. I just received this espresso maker and the box and the instruction both say XP1000. Did I receive the wrong item? Also, did anyone else receive this in...

The photo looks exactly like the XP 1000. So, I don't think it's the wrong item. The 50 may indicate the color. Mine definitely came with Krups packaging.

The person who answered before gave the right answer. I have had many espresso machines costing several times this price of this one and I agree that for the money this is a nice espresso machine.

My Krups machine wasn't listed but it looked exactly like it... I had to buy it and it's was the same and works great. Hopefully it works for you

It was not the machine for me. I couldn't get it to work and returned it. I bought Mr Coffee and it works fine. Easy to use and makes a satisfactory espresso. Adele

I looked back at the picture shown and it isn't quite "that" espresso. It may take on a bit of a cherry tone, but also not true cherry. I hope that makes sense!

You could see if there is a model number on the bottom and look it up on their website. Another idea would be to take it to a nice kitchen store that sells the espresso maker and see which one it compares closest to.

Thanks for the insight... I'm frothing before pulling the esspresso now. I'm still very happy with the machine.

It looks like C120 machines on Amazon are all used. And 121 is a new sold by Nespresso. It's cheaper on their website

It's a kind of lousy machine. I recommend this one, instead. It's better quality at a great price! Espressione Café Minuetto Professional Thermoblock Espresso Machine, Silver

I also received white parts for the Espresso color. It's only the inside of the drawers so it wouldn't be visible to anyone but me, but it still annoys the crap out of me. I contacted Storkcraft requesting espresso colored parts, so now I'm just waiting for their response.

First let me start by saying that I did not buy mine through Amazon. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely check Amazon first before I buy anything. It's all about saving a few bucks right? I recently started doing Sam'sClub auction and found this exact machine. I fortunately won the bid and got it for $20 less than Amazon is selling it for. To answer your question though, my order did come with the mug and it did say on the box that it was included. In fact I also received 2 different sizes of reusable gold tone coffee filters in the box. I don't understand why there is a difference between the one listed on Amazon and the one I purchased but apparently there is one. First let me start by saying that I did not buy mine through Amazon.

I fear that your espresso machine has probably run its course. You might try running a descaler through it (very cheap at Morrissons) in case it's just scaled up. Failing that, you'll have to replace it.

hi, I got a couple of new ones from Nespresso, made no difference...I just think the machine is not up tp it, I even got anew machine and more whisks...but this week, not much froth, just warm milk, very annoying...yet my friend has an old machine that works every time...need to find an antique! Good luck. Am going to put my machine on e bay...never been so disappointed, I was going to buy a machine for my sons...but they are not keen any more having seen my results.

I am having the same problem with the puck, and weak taste. I assumed that a $350 machine with high build quality would be designed for the enthusiast, not the amateur who wants easy espresso "crema" (reference to the pressurized porta filter). I am going to order the open filter which relies more on grind and tamp to create a real shot. Anything that is easy almost always introduces a compromise along the way.I replaced my broken EC100 (cheapo $125 unit) with this hoping for a real step up. On my old unit, I tore out the pin hole foam squirter and was actually making some splendid shots! But the pump and heating element are cheap on the Capresso.

I don't know much about this particular model which I believe only makes espresso. But I do know that but Jura Capresso which is awesome .its fully automatic coffee/espresso and cappuccino machine.
