3 weeks after buying the machine the milk frother broke while cleaning it. Poorly designed.
couple months later a silicone seal that is vital to the operation ruptured and broke - now the coffee machine spews water out the side of the coffee holder making watery coffees. I have not even bothered calling the local agents to try repair the machine I should have never bought it - The machine has been designated to the scrap heap after a few months of operation, it is improperly designed. do not buy this machine!

I have had two Krups Vivo machines that, given their cost made excellent espresso and latte. So when I wore the second Vivo out I decided to try this one. As the other reviewer found, the milk frother broke when cleaning within a couple of months. Before that I found the milk had frothed to the top of the container before it was hot. With the frother broken it makes better latte than it did with it.
Don't bother, good espresso, terrible frother design.

Like other reviewers my steaming wand has broken in two places during the third cleaning. One of the lugs at the top has come off and the bottom screw plug has split. I also superglued the bottom screw plug.
The machine makes great crema through the tamping device and also the superfoam/mousse is amazing - definitely the best if you can work round the broken wand.
HOWEVER !!! my biggest problem is the horrible plasticcy taste that taints the water via the machine's internal organs AND the same taint from the wand. In fact, even the simple act of putting the wand to your mouth to blow it through leaves a strong and unpleasant taste of plastic. I have tried the vinegar fix but to no avail - I haven't given up yet though as I really like this machine.
If I can get a new wand and also fix the palstic taste problem then it's a keeper - otherwise it's going back.
