The Krups Il Caffe Duomo is ideal for those unpredictable coffee urges. Monday morning, you might just want a simple, perfect cup of coffee. But come Sunday brunch, you’re definitely hankering for a frothy cappuccino or mocha latte. This coffeemaker has it all, including a handy instruction manual that has lots of pictures to guide you smoothly through the process–the measuring guidelines are also helpful for the first-time barista. There are separate water containers, making it possible to brew 8 cups of coffee and 4 cups of espresso simultaneously. The frother is very simple to use and provides wonderful foam. And we love the stop-and-serve feature that lets you pour a cup of coffee without interrupting the brewing process. The machine is easy to keep clean, and the filter basket and carafe are dishwasher-safe. This item may arrive with water inside from the manufacturer’s pressure test. This is a normal occurrence and doesn’t point to a problem with the machine. –C. Whitney-Ward
