I don't have this exact model of the Krups espresso machine, but it is very similar.  I have an older model that my husband got me for Christmas one year.  We were spending so much money on gourmet coffee at Starbucks that I decided I wanted to see if I could make my own.  We do still buy our espresso beans from Starbucks, but a huge bag lasts for a long time!  I make us both our favorites every Saturday and Sunday morning.  My favorite is the skinny vanilla latte and my husband likes the toffee nut latte.  I have purchased many of the syrups and am able to copy their recipes almost perfectly. ...
