When the Coffee Crush Experience drops

Espresso machines drop hardest around Black Friday and in the weeks before Christmas. Leave your email address and pick below what you want to hear about.

The Coffee Crush Experience is fifteen centimetres wide and still grinds its own: beans go into a 150-gram hopper, the coffee into a drawer the machine fills and presses. At a button it makes espresso, lungo, filter coffee and cold brew; strength, size and temperature each have three settings. Filter coffee and cold brew take a few minutes, because they are brewed at low pressure.

You froth milk yourself with the steam wand, and hot water for tea comes at 70, 80 or 90 °C. There is no grounds container: after every cup you empty the drawer and rinse it. Pre-ground coffee works too, for decaf for instance.

Who for: Small kitchens, and anyone who wants fresh beans without room for a full-size bean-to-cup.

This is what we know for certain. Dimensions and capacities the manufacturer or the shop does not state are left out rather than estimated. A measurement or a tank volume that is not there is one we do not have.

What does it cost a year to maintain?

A worked example, not a specification: 2 cups a day (730 a year), the intervals from the maker's manual, with the water filter the maker recommends, and the lowest price in our catalog today.

Descaler · about 4 a year: Not in our catalog; Krups: descale after 200 brews, when the machine asks. Krups names its own descaler, which our catalog does not carry.

We cannot price anything for this machine: what the maker requires is not in our catalog, or the maker gives no interval.

How often you descale depends on your water hardness. Where the maker gives no interval for it, we leave it out rather than estimate it.

Beans, counted separately

6.57 kilos a year at 9 grams a cup: €108.34 with the cheapest kilo in our catalog, €445.45 with the dearest.

Maintenance

Essential

Descaler

Limescale is what most machines die of, and vinegar attacks the seals. A liquid descaler declared suitable for espresso machines does the same job as the maker’s own branded fluid, usually for less.

Milk

Essential

Milk jug

A stainless jug of around 600 ml is the difference between milk that froths and milk that boils. The shape of the spout decides whether you can pour anything with it.

Maintenance

Recommended

Cleaning tablets

For flushing the brew group. Coffee oils settle where you cannot reach, and a bean-to-cup with a cleaning programme expects a tablet to go with it.

Beans for this machine

Every bean fits every machine. What differs is the order: on a bean-to-cup the 100% arabica beans come first, because dark-roasted blends carrying robusta give off more oil and that clogs a built-in grinder sooner.
