Krups Piccolo Red KP1006 ( Best Capsule Coffee Maker)
2 min read
The German brand Krups has a century and a half of history. The first coffee machine from this brand appeared on the market back in 1961. Now the development and production of kitchen appliances for coffee preparation (coffee grinders, coffee makers, etc.) is one of the main directions of the company.
The Piccolo Red KP1006 model is labeled as a coffee machine on the official website of Krups. For obvious reasons it does not have a built-in coffee grinder, but due to the use of coffee capsules there is no need to dosage portions and adjust settings, the whole process of preparation the machine controls itself.
Dolce Gusto capsules are the most popular type of capsules used here. There are 14 varieties of Macchiato and Latte available for Dolce Gusto machines. In addition, you can find capsules of this type with cocoa and tea. As for other drinks, the water for them in this coffee maker can be obtained in hot and cold form. Unfortunately, the Piccolo series coffee makers do not have a cappuccinator and a separate container for milk, that is, there is no automatic mode for making cappuccino.
The advantage of this particular model is a rather high power of 1500 W for a capsule coffee maker. The process of preparation from switching on to the moment when the smoky coffee appears in your hands, takes a few minutes. The generated pressure of 15 bar guarantees high quality espresso for those who like strong coffee.
You can use a coffee pot as a utensil for the coffee maker or pour the drink directly into cups. The height adjustment of the mugs will help you to handle the utensils more comfortably. The removable water jug has a capacity of 0.6 liters. The fill indicator makes it easier to control the water level in the tank.
Coffee makers from the German company Krups are known for their high quality. The Piccolo series is assembled in factories in Indonesia. In addition to the model KP1006 with a red body, the series includes lilac Piccolo Exclusive KP1036 and black model Piccolo Antracite KP100B. Their technical specifications are almost identical, the only difference is the color of the coffee makers.
Piccolo Red KP1006 has earned the right to be called the best capsule coffee maker and got a place in the top ten models due to the fact that there is nothing superfluous in it, and the build quality, functionality and design deserve the highest marks. High power and pressure indicators allow you to quickly get really tasty and high-quality coffee.
In addition, it is much cheaper than classic coffee machines, which to a large extent allowed it to earn its well-known popularity among coffee lovers.
