The Krups Evidence Eco-Design EA897B10 is a 1450-watt fully automatic bean-to-cup espresso machine featuring a 15-bar pump pressure system, a 2.3-litre water tank, and a 260-gram bean hopper with a 5-setting metal conical burr grinder. Its main characteristics and pros include an eco-conscious build made of 62% recycled plastic, an intuitive touchscreen interface providing one-touch access to 8 pre-programmed beverages, Quattro Force extraction technology, and the unique ability to brew two milk-based drinks simultaneously using its plug-in milk tube system. However, cons include a fixed brew group that relies strictly on automated tablet cycles rather than manual teardown for deep cleaning, a minimum espresso pour size that starts slightly high at 40 ml, and some user feedback regarding milk temperatures occasionally not being hot enough.
