Krups Coffee Machines: UK Range & Buyer's Guide

Krups competes at the price point where bean-to-cup stops feeling like a luxury - around £280-£450, undercutting De'Longhi and Philips equivalents. Like De'Longhi, it also builds machines for Nespresso and Dolce Gusto, so the badge appears across very different products.

Where Krups wins and loses

Strengths

  • Among the cheapest routes into genuine bean-to-cup
  • Touchscreen interfaces on models where rivals still use buttons
  • Compact for the category
  • Widely stocked and heavily discounted in UK sales

Weaknesses

  • Build quality is a step below De'Longhi and Philips
  • Grinders are noisier and shorter-lived than ceramic equivalents
  • Fewer adjustment options than rivals
  • Mixed reliability reports at the very cheap end

Our verdict on Krups

Krups is the budget entry to bean-to-cup and does that job honestly - if £280-£350 is the ceiling, it gets you fresh-ground coffee that a pod machine cannot match. If you can stretch to £400-£450, a De'Longhi Magnifica or Philips 2200 is the more durable buy.
