Our Krups XP1500 Combination Coffee & Espresso Machine consistently makes bad coffee; it tastes like plastic. We've rinsed it out with water a number of times, we've switched the type of grounds, and the water we use worked fine in our other coffee maker.
-   We have a new XP 2070 with the same problem. Espresso seems fine, but the coffee tastes like plastic. Very disappointing. Hopefully a solution is forthcoming.
-   We have a Krups xp4030 espresso machine and have had the same problem. I called Krups customer support and they told me we have to mail it to a service center. Has anyone found a different solution to this?-   likescoffee

Hi, I just purchased the Krups XP1500 Coffee and Espresso Combi Machine. The coffee side works great but the espresso side has severe problems. It took 30 minutes (I timed it) for barely enough expresso to fill the bottom of the glass carafe (I wanted to make 2 cups and did NOT pack the grinds too tightly as instructed). Next as a test I ran enough water to make 4 cups of expresso through the machine WITH NO GRINDS AT ALL. 28 minutes later barely a quarter of an inch of water had made it through the machine into the carafe. After this I tried to steam milk ? it was a joke. What?s the story with this machine? I?m sorely disappointed with it?s performance and bought it because I have other Krups products that I like a lot.

I fill the 2-cup thing full to almost the rim, then mash it in using the circle on the end of the scoop thingy. I learned not to smash too hard, as my machine doesn't like that. After it has warmed up, I put the espresso "bowl" thing with the handle onto the machine, locking it in place. I then hit the 1-cup button, and less than 1 shot of espresso comes out before it beeps several times, and the lights flash on and off repeatedly. It seems angry when it does this. I wait a couple minutes, then try again, and finally get a full shot of espresso. What am I doing wrong? I'm just trying to get a double-shot, but it now barely gives me 1. I even replaced the little metal cup thing with a new one, no change. I switched to pre-ground espresso in case it was the grind being too fine, but still not better. Did I buy a bad machine???
