  • Most features

    Krups Evidence ECOdesign: 8 drinks, recycled plastic

    Eight presets include americano, lungo, latte macchiato and hot water for tea.

Krups sells its bean-to-cup machines in several ranges that are easy to mix up. The Arabica machines are the simple ones, with a steam pipe or milk nozzle and basic controls. The Evidence range adds one-touch cappuccino, a touch control panel and a longer drinks menu. The Intuition Preference sits at the top with a colour touch screen and saved recipes. Older Krups automatics with CappuccinoPlus or AutoCappuccino nozzles are still listed too. This guide compares six Krups listings on Amazon UK by range, display, milk system, drinks and water tank, using only what each listing says. We could not include a Sensation model because no current listing met our criteria. If you want one-touch milk drinks, start with an Evidence. If you mostly drink espresso and black coffee, an Arabica keeps it simple.
