Third-party reviews

What customers like about Krups XN930T

  • A 1500 W heater suits a busy morning routine.
  • The removable tank makes refilling simple.
  • The 1.1 L tank holds enough water for several cups.
  • Adjustable cup clearance fits tall glasses and small cups.
  • The descaling program handles limescale care.
  • Sleep mode and automatic shutdown save power.

What customers don't like about Krups XN930T

  • It takes capsules only.
  • There is no automatic milk frother.
  • There is no display.
  • There is no cappuccino or latte macchiato program.
  • There is no two-cup function, so two drinks take two rounds.

Verdict

A 1500 W heater and a 1.1 L tank make the Krups XN930T a sensible pick for everyday capsule coffee. At 15 bar the pump suits capsule drinks, and the removable tank makes refilling simple. Adjustable cup clearance gives room for a tall glass or a small cup. Descaling, overheat protection and automatic shutdown take care of the routine jobs. Sleep mode cuts power while it waits between cups. The 1.1 L tank holds enough water for a morning of drinks. The trade-off is what it leaves out. It takes capsules only, with no milk frother and no display. There is no cappuccino program or two-cup function either. It suits one or two people who want a steady, simple machine with little to learn.
