Krups Evidence EA893840 Bean to Cup Coffee Machine UK Review 

 November 21, 2018

By  Enda McLarnon

This is our UK review of the popular Krups Evidence EA893840 Bean to Cup Coffee Machine. It is worth pointing out at this early stage that this is an expensive machine, from this high end German brand.

Overall buyers have rated this one highly with an overall 88% buyer satisfaction rating. It is an elegant espresso machine that has 15 one touch coffee drink options.

The one thing that makes this machine different to many other bean to cup machines, is that this one does give you a variety of interesting options, and a wide range of coffee drinks.

According to the many UK buyers this one is relatively easy to use, and that is always a good thing. It just means you don't have to read through a thick instruction book to be able to get started.

Brief Description

In our opinion the design is box like and quite large, so this wouldn't be the best choice for anyone with a small kitchen. It takes up enough space so just be aware of that.

The design also lends itself towards more modern or contemporary kitchen, and we believe that this one would look a bit out of place, in a rustic or country style kitchen.

This would be a great choice of a machine if you are someone who likes to "experiment" or try out the various elements that go into making a great tasting coffee.

This machine allows you to vary just about anything you like ranging from the grind of beans you like, to the volume of water delivered or the amount of milk added to your exact preference.

Below you will find a detailed review. For those who don't have time to read all of this, then we have put together a short summary review of this product just below.

  • Buyers liked the wide variety of coffee drink options this maker gave them

CONS

  • A couple of buyers did receive a damaged product

To summarise what buyers said, those who left a bad review (around 5%) did so because they either received a faulty product. That is of course very disappointing and a pain, but most likely this happened during transit.

The contented and satisfied buyers liked the machine a lot, and said that it made excellent coffee. They also said it was easy to maintain and clean. 

The general consensus is that setting up does take a little bit of time. A few said the instructions were not that  easy to follow, but that the menu on the machine guides you through that process really well.

For anyone who really enjoys their coffee, then it is great that you are able to adjust the various settings. That way you get to find the ideal taste and strength of coffee that you like as an individual.

This makes all the espresso based coffee from Americano to a cappuccino. This Krups model delivers and best of all pretty simple to use. From beginning to end, once you get used to your machine, any coffee drink takes about 3 minutes to make.

There is a rinse cycle and also a full cleaning cycle. This would also be a great machine for the office if you don't want that awful tasting stuff that falls out of vending machines.
