Krups Authentic C50 or Krups Authentic+ C90?

What actually differs between the Krups Authentic C50 and the Krups Authentic+ C90, and what that means for who you are.

What differs

  • The Authentic C50 is €28.83 cheaper.
  • Both are the same kind of machine, a portafilter machine, so they work the same way.
  • Neither has a grinder. Budget for a separate one with both, and for a sum that comes close to the machine itself.
  • Milk works the same on both: with a steam wand you control yourself.
  • Cleaning the milk system is the same on both: after every use, a short burst of steam or water and a wipe with a damp cloth.
