If I got this it would be replacing a 30 year old krups machine that just crapped out. Are all the negative reviews accurate?

It is ok. Not as good as the original. As with most things. Originals are always better, but it works ok

IMHO, Yes, it just didn't produce the same quality coffee and we returned it to Amazon. We found one of the old ones on eBay that has worked great but eBay is a crapshoot too.

Just fyi - any of the reviews that are not amazon verified purchases I wouldn't believe them. Competitors tend to cause havoc on reviews like this. Personally I've tried other espresso machines and this is the best. The others do not brew strong espresso or made of plastic part where the hot water flows thru this Krups does not. I am happy with it.

I had two of the older model Krups steam espresso machines over a 222 year period. Used them constantly and even took them on vacation with me. When I had to replace the last one I bought this "redesigned" model with the domed screw top. With 22 years of experience making espresso with these little steam models, I was shocked and horrified when the new machine started to spit and leak and spew super-heated grounds in a 6-foot radius. I unplugged, let it cool down cleaned it up, tried again. Same thing. I now own a "Bella" steam espresso maker which costs a bit less and works like the old Krups.

I am not enthusiastic about this machine. It is OK. It does the job. But is just a bit awkward to use.

For the price...you can't get a higher quality machine than the XP1000. Ten years total of use use of the older 1020 and then the new XP1000, I count on it every moring for the prefect cup of espresso or creamy cappacino. Highly recomended for a single person with limited space or RV, as it only makes one large cup of espresso per cycle when the carafe and filter cup are filled to the top. A very fine fresh grind of exotic dark roast beans, good water and a light tamping does the trick.

I bought it to replace my old krups which was about 7 or 8 years old. I like this machine. The only complaint I have is that the dome cap on the water reservoir can be difficult to open because the brewing process suctions the lid to the machine and the dome shape makes it more challenging to get the grip you need to open it as easily as the older model with the vertically sided lid. An elderly person or anyone with joint issues probably would find it problematic. It's fine for me and it makes a great cup of coffee.

This espresso machine is amazing. I read about leaks. It does not leak. Do not over fill and putmthe lid on tight. It is under pressure so if you don't do these things, wel...

I did that and the only comment I have is that the steam is lighter than the old one when it worked.

I am not sure- You may want to look in the manual under "replacement parts" to see if this will fit. You can check the Krups website for replacements, as well. Amazon, however, was the only website I found to have the replacement I needed for mine.

I think so. I've only used one machine before this one and it was a really easy transition. This machine has a lot of options and settings, but they're easy to figure out. It just takes a read through of the manual and you should be good.

It does ... and you'll definitely need it. I owned a total of 3 units. The first 2 were replaced under warranty after major delays at the appliance repair company and/or Krups themselves. When I finally got the 2nd replacement, I sold it on eBay.If you want to really have a cup of coffee when you want it, forget this unit. Krups customer service was terrible. I replaced my unit with a Deloghi Magnifica XS. It was well worth the difference in cost. I've had the Delonghi now for 16 months without a single problem. In fact, I'm just enjoying my first cup of coffee today!!

I don't know, but I highly caution you about this product. Don't waste your money!!!! Buy a Krups instead. Seriously, I have gone through 4 machines in less than a year!!! It is a terrible product. Please heed the warnings and poor reviews. DeLonghi has finally sent me an upgrade that seems to be better, but it has only been a week. This machine lasts from three weeks -three months. I have had three different machines until the new upgrade. Trust me, the voltage is the least of your problems with this combo.

I got the 140 this past January.. My advise to you would be to get neither.. I have nothing but problems with it from day one.. It's a very inconsistent, unreliable machine.. Spend a little extra money and get a name brand machine.. Even a Lincoln Electric would be far superior.. My main problem with the Longevity is the feeding mechanism and all it's gritty components.. From the spool, the liner, right down to the nozzle.. Absolute junk!! Read the reviews of a the various longevity models.. The same people leave the same reviews for all the machines to boost the rating.. Don't waste your money on any of their machines.. You will be very disappointed and aggravated..

It was pretty good for the first three years, then it started having some problems. They did cover the replacement parts and costs but you will need to contact them. It is a good machine and is very heavy.Make sure you put it where you will not need to move it. Hope this helps!

I replaced 2 15 year old models in my restaurant with one new one - they have run everyday for 15 yrs! Sold them and paid for a new model - never had a problem - runs like a champ. Don't know anything about the other model in question.

Yes & it works the best of all the machines I have had. This is a great machine...I could not be happier with this purchase.

I have a Krups which is about one year old and the pot broke. I ordered a replacement pot and a permanent filter. Krups doesn't have eitherand there are no suitable replacement, so now I have a one year old useless Krups.

It should not be a problem. My suggestion for you is to get the manual and go through it step by step. It is a great machine and it should work fine.

I've had this machine since August 2007. I've used it on average 2 times a week and for the past 2 months 4-5 times a week. I haven't had a single problem with it (*knock on wood*). I had noticed some squeeking in the beginning, but it worked itself out. I'm still very pleased.

Thnaks for your reply about the length of the warranty and that the second one was fine. Does that mean it was in the "new" condition as Amazon states it to be? If so, you should up date your review and maybe the rating?... It would be helpful to know that things turned out OK and to your expectations, with buying a remanufactured machine. ;-) I almost didn't pull the trigger on ordering one, with it only getting a 1 star rating. Thank you for your time in answering my questions. Mine is suppose to ship tomorrow,.. just keeping my fingers crossed.

I love this machine. It is suitable for what it is supposed to do. I stopped using the metal racks because it was too much hassle. I leave it on because I never know when I will need it. I empty it and clean it when needed. Just use it and if you want a fancier model, upgrade.

Reread the instructions and make sure you didn't miss something. Then call Krups. You may have to hang up and call back in a few times until you get someone that bothered to learn the machines.

Oh yea, I just read your review on this reloader...I'm reading more positive than negative reviews. I am a retired Machinist and I can't see this machine being too difficult to set-up and operate as described. I have read the do's and don'ts and what to watch for and it seems pretty simplistic.. Besides, If it is too problematic as you say, I'll return it. Thanks for your response...

I've had no issues with this one. In the case of going through several kuerig machines. After doing extensive research in looking for the best on the market. I found that the CuisineArt machine had fewest problems. However, not sure about the water where you live, but to ensure that they don't get hard water resin that clogs. I change the water filters on the machine at least monthly if not more often. For a good deal I found a pack of 20 filters on Amazon for a low price which makes it worth the cost of replacing them as often as possible. Also, this machine has the rinse feature, which I use often to keep the needles clean at least every other day. Hope this helps. TRod I've had no issues with this one.
