Third-party reviews

What customers like about Krups KP340510

  • 1500 W heats the water quickly.
  • The coffee temperature can be set for hotter or cooler drinks.
  • Cappuccino and latte macchiato programs make milk drinks simple.
  • Adjustable cup clearance fits tall glasses under the spout.
  • A hot water dispenser is included.
  • Descaling and cleaning alerts help keep it in shape.

What customers don't like about Krups KP340510

  • The 0.8 L tank needs refilling often on a busy day.
  • Settings are made with buttons, with no display to check them.
  • There is no automatic milk frother or steam wand for frothed milk.
  • It cannot take ground or powdered coffee, only capsules.

Verdict

Milk drinks at the press of a button are the main draw of the Krups KP340510, which is a sensible pick for everyday use. It has 1500 W of power, so the water heats fast and you wait less. You can set the coffee temperature, which is handy for people who like their drinks hotter or cooler. The cup clearance is adjustable too, so tall glasses fit under the spout. A hot water dispenser comes with it, and capsules work for quick drinks. Descaling is built in, and a cleaning alert reminds you when to clean. The trade-off is the tank, which holds only 0.8 L and means more refills on a busy day. It suits a home that wants a choice of drinks and is fine with buttons and a smaller tank.
