Krups Sensation Elite EA917E

The machine looks very nice. The controls are pleasant once you get to know them well. It makes good coffee, although the beans play a big part in that. It is also nice that it has a program so you can drink your custom coffee exactly how you like it. All in all, a very nice machine.

Making delicious 'ik' coffees and regular coffees with quick intentions

Easy operation, flavorful coffee, and many settings for personalizing the coffee.

I have had the Krups Sensation Elite Silver for a week now. The coffee machine comes in a compact box and is well packaged. Upon unpacking, a number of stickers need to be removed, and with the manual, the first use is easy to perform. The machine is rinsed and is then immediately ready for the first cup of coffee. The display provides good information and is easy to read. The menu operation is also simple and self-explanatory. What stands out is the slim water reservoir, which nevertheless offers a large water capacity. This is pleasant, because the machine consumes a bit more water for cleaning after using the milk jug. Cleaning itself is actively highlighted after brewing a coffee variant using milk, ensuring the machine remains clean and well-maintained. Additionally, the easily accessible reservoir for coffee grounds stands out. It offers sufficient space but is, above all, easy to reach and empty. As far as I am concerned, that is a plus. After brewing several coffees, including some with milk, I am very satisfied with the ease of placing and detaching the milk jug. The frothed milk is of good quality and can be adjusted to your liking using the control knob. The coffee strength, grind size (rotary knob near the coffee bean reservoir), and temperature are also easy to adjust. After making a few changes to the settings, it quickly becomes clear how I make my favorite cups of coffee. I have also already made my first iced coffee variations. Although it uses ice cubes, the result is satisfactory as far as I am concerned. The coffee is flavorful and, thanks to the milk foam, also creamy. Maintenance is simple; all parts that need cleaning are easily accessible and easy to keep clean. All in all, the first impression is extremely good and better than expected. So far, I am a satisfied user of the machine.
