This Krups model is strictly mediocre. The expresso feature can not be used concurrently with the brew feature. Nore can the milk steamer be used while the brew feature is on, therefore you must brew coffee, turn off the coffee pot (thereby rebdering the coffee cold), turn on the milk frother or exresso maker, wait for it to warm up to make either expresso or steamed milk.....not a good system at all.
!!! Buyer Beware !!! 1 out of 5 stars.

Having used this Krups product for several years, my sole complaint is its very poor design.
For example, on the espresso side, the two (2) brew head gaskets (hard rubber) become loose which results in the leaking of hot water from the boiler. These gaskets ARE NOT available as replacement parts - the entire boiler assembly must be replaced. An approximately $100 repair for a few dollars parts!
This is the last Krups product we will buy. We strongly recommend against Krups products.
Editorial Review:
Krups 88843 'Caffe Centro Time' combination programmable coffee maker and pump espresso machine features a large 10-cup coffee maker and Krups exclusive 'Deep Brew' technology for rich coffee and espresso beverages. Also the Advanced Thermoblock System makes it possible to get enough pressure to create authentic crema - just like you would expect at your favorite restaurant or coffee house. krups 88843
