Compact, quick and quiet
The Krups Virtuoso is a fantastic little machine. With eye catching good looking design, its compact and fits into the smallest kitchen. The controls are easy, one shot, two shots and the steamer to froth your milk. It heats up very quickly and is good to go in less than a minute. The machine is solid, in shiny steel, although the top is silver plastic so that it doesn't get too hot as it covers the heating coil. The espresso is great. A nice frothy head, and no coffee residue in the cup. The steamer is quick, effective and helps make the perfect cappuccino. It's also very easy to clean. Overall, I'm more than happy with it. It does everything I want a coffee maker to do.

Coffee shop at Home
I love this machine! Very simple to use for barista style coffee at home. The best part for me is that you can use ground coffee or pods either are quick and easy to use

Very good Espresso, easy to make
A good quality good looking machine, to prepare very good Espresso easily. Small 'cups' for single or double grinder coffee or a cup for a pouch are added. Easy to add the water and easy to steam the milk, for a cappuccino. One small remark regarding the preparation multiple Espresso's; there is no clamp to hold the 'cup' in the holder, when wanting to trash the warm coffee after usage. I have not found another option than taking the 'cup' out of the holder by taking it at the thin metal sides, to prevent me touching the hot metal end of holder.

Compact and Efficient
I have never been so excited to have an appliance as this in my House. I am an Ardent Coffee drinker and I love to just enjoy my cup Barista style, but after my twins were born and COVID its been hard to just step out and go get my coffee so I had to stick to instant coffee. KRUPS Virtuoso XP442C4 has changed it all for me I can get anytime any day a Barista style coffee at the convenience of my Kitchen but that's just not it this product looks classy, is compact, energy and time efficient and easy to clean. I can use pods and even make tea especially for my Husband who is a tea lover so its a win-win for both of us.

Awesome bit of kit
I already have a Krups Sub beer pump which is well made and faultless so when this arrived I was impressed as the build quality is of a really high standard. We have had Tassimos before and they are not bad but nothing beats fresh! We normally use a french press, and I grind beans in advance. This is easy to use, fill the filter head handle with the coffee of your choice, make sure there is water in it first as it will heat up whilst you are prepping the coffee and getting the cups (not different to boiling the kettle first). Connect up the head, press the button (just make sure you put both cups under!) Wait for it too finish and then you have 2 cups of awesomeness ready to kick of the day, or keep you up at night depending on when you drink it! The steamer function works well if you want to do the whole milk frothing thing which is pretty good if you are after more of drink. It looks really slick on the side too. The only downside I can see is maybe it's a little too easy!

Krups Steam and pump coffee machine
Compact design in sleek stainless steel looks really good simple 4 buttons makes it very easy to use with automatic flow stop that stops drinks overflowing and auto turns off if machine left on is a great idea now to the actual drinks with its 15 bar pressure it makes a flavoursome espresso in 40 seconds and with the nozzle to dispense water can make it into a Americano or use the steam to make velvety milk for a cappuccino. The machine comes with a single or double filter holder so can easily make 2 drinks or a soft pod filter for ese pods so far I haven't used that so can't comment. Over all I love this machine gives me shop style coffee easy at home

Good compact machine
The KRUPS Virtuoso XP442C4 is a work straight out of the box espresso machine. It’s a compact size which, while is a space saving feature meaning it can be kept on a countertop, also creates its own issues. The steam nozzle is very difficult to get in or out of a milk jug unless the machine is moved to the counter edge which is a nuisance. Also, only the shallowest barista style cups can be used which then means 2 cannot be used at the same time as there isn’t enough room on the tray. Issues aside, it makes great coffee and the coffee bag attachment is great saving using ground coffee and having to measure and pad down. The heated top is a good idea but takes a while to get warm, unless it’s on all the time, the cups are not really heated. The water tank holds more than enough for numerous drinks. The only other slight thing is that the drip tray is easily detached and feels quite flimsily made. Overall, it’s a nice modern looking machine that does the job.

Sleek and fancy, amazing coffee!
Upon opening I thought it looked quite a complicated machine to use, the instructions make it seem harder than it actually is! I decided to use a you tube review and got to work with testing! Firstly I purchased the wrong kind of coffee (beans not ground) so had to patiently wait for the next day to test! Was so easy to use! Produced the most amazing silky smooth coffee. I have to admit I have a double espresso each time because one just goes too quickly! And the Milk steamer, wow! I didn’t think I’d ever replace my milk frothier but this makes the milk extra hot and 100ml of milk becomes about 3-400ml of pure thick frothiness in a glass! I actually need to invest in a stainless steel milk jug for this reason. I didn’t think coffee could taste any better, the only downfall is finding somewhere to store my different bags of coffee I keep purchasing! Would have been nice if the machine had a small sample of coffee so you could try it straight away! Love it

The coffee this makes tastes just like what you buy from a coffee shop, our favourite is a latte and with the milk frother attached you get shop tasting coffee everytime

Krups
Makes really good drinks and looks stylish. Would use again and recommend to friends and family. Easy to clean and not too noisy either. I would buy this machine in the future. 5 stars from me and my partner who drinks quite a few cups a day. Lovely sleek design too and sits nicely on my work top.

Smell cofe
one of the main reason I bought this machine was because it is a German machine.. and I trust German engineering more than others.. Having had the usual "De Longhi" previously, this Krups is fantastic.
