The Krups T8 is a compact, retro-styled pressure brewer with very good coffee and simple operation, but it has no settings and cannot go in the dishwasher.

Third-party reviews

What we like about Krups KM468910

  • Unique steam-pressurized extraction method produces an intense, dense, and full-bodied coffee flavor similar to a stovetop Moka pot
  • High brewing temperature delivers a piping hot cup of coffee right after brewing
  • Iconic, timeless design featuring sleek stainless steel accents that fit well in most kitchens
  • Eco-friendly permanent filter eliminates the ongoing need and waste of disposable paper filters
  • Fast brewing speed, requiring only about 8 minutes to complete a full pot cycle
  • Compact and lightweight footprint that preserves counter space and makes storage easy
  • Includes an integrated automatic shut-off feature for added safety and energy efficiency

What we don't like about Krups KM468910

  • Precise physical alignment is critical; improper placement of the jug under the valve can lead to a messy overflow
  • The heating plate does not keep coffee hot for long hours compared to standard auto-drip thermal carafes
  • Coffee flavor significantly degrades if trying to brew small batches (fewer than 3 cups)
  • Requires a learning curve to dial in the correct grind size; using coffee powder that is ground too fine can cause calcification or system clogging
  • Wet coffee grounds can be difficult to remove from the permanent filter if not cleaned out immediately after use
  • Finding replacement parts, particularly the specific carafe and specialized circular filters, can be challenging

Verdict

The Krups KM468910 T8 Moka Brew is an 850-watt drip coffee machine utilizing a unique 2.5-bar steam pressure brew unit to force boiling water through ground coffee, delivering an intense, full-bodied flavor reminiscent of a classic stovetop moka pot. Key characteristics include a 1.25-liter stainless steel water tank and an integrated reusable permanent filter system optimized for brewing 8 to 12 cups into its central glass carafe. Main pros highlight its fast, hand-brew extraction quality, a convenient top lever safety lock system, automatic shut-off functionality, and a compact design accented with premium stainless steel. Conversely, notable cons include its lack of a built-in grinder, a non-removable water reservoir that mandates careful manual pouring, and its unsuitability for very finely ground coffee, which can clog the internal pipes.
