When the Evidence UP 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 Evidence UP is a bean-to-cup with a milk tube and eight drinks, from ristretto to caffè latte. It has no screen: you choose on lit buttons, and set the strength, the volume and a double cup before pressing start. Cappuccino and latte macchiato come at one press, and two at a time.

Krups says at least 29% of the machine is recycled material. The water tank holds 2.3 litres and the hopper 260 grams; the grind has five settings.

Who for: Anyone who wants one-touch cappuccino and has no need for menus.

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.

Water filter · 6 a year: Not in our catalog; Krups: replace the Claris filter two months after fitting it. Krups' filter is not in our catalog.
Cleaning tablets: Not stated; The machine says when. Krups gives no interval.
Descaler: Not stated; The machine says when. Krups gives no interval.

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.

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.

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.
