Verdict
The Krups EA8105 is a simple, compact machine for everyday black coffee, but its grinder is not fine enough for espresso.

Third-party reviews

What we like about Krups EA8105

  • Extremely compact design, ideal for small kitchens
  • Simple, intuitive operation using buttons and LED display
  • Produces hot, good quality espresso with decent crema
  • Built-in grinder is relatively quiet
  • Good value for money as a budget-friendly bean-to-cup option
  • Fast heating system (Thermoblock)

What we don't like about Krups EA8105

  • Non-removable brew group makes internal cleaning difficult
  • Grinder only has 3 settings, limiting precision
  • Requires frequent manual cleaning and descaling
  • Can be messy, with coffee grounds accumulating outside the designated container
  • Plastic construction feels less solid than competitors
  • Can be prone to leaking or overflowing if not maintained properly

Verdict

The Krups EA8105 is a compact, freestanding, fully automatic bean-to-cup espresso machine operating at 1450 watts with a 15-bar pump pressure system. Key characteristics include an integrated metal conical burr grinder with a 260g–275g bean capacity, a 1.6 to 1.8-litre removable water tank, and a patented compact Thermoblock system for rapid preheating. Its main pros are the customizable brewing options, which feature three adjustable grind textures and three temperature settings, alongside a manual steam pipe for frothing milk and an automatic anti-scale self-cleaning program. However, main cons include the lack of a built-in digital display screen, forcing users to rely on an intuitive button and LED indicator control panel, and a mostly plastic outer casing that some users find overly glossy.
