Krups Intuition Experience+ review: almost perfect coffee machine

introduction

The Krups Intuition Experience+ is as close to an on-call barista as you can get, without the awkward small talk and waiting. This hopper coffee maker is the quietest Krups has ever made (and the quietest I’ve ever used), making it a godsend for anyone who wants a quiet morning coffee.

With a sleek color touchscreen that’s as intuitive as your smartphone, it effortlessly guides you through over 20 hot and cold drinks, from classic espresso to trendy nitro coffee – all without the barista rolling his eyes once. And the best part? It’s still cheaper than getting something from Starbucks every day. However, it’s a significant price jump compared to other brands of coffee machines. How does it perform once you start using it?

Design and construction: brilliantly bright

When it comes to design, Krups has made no compromises. The Intuition Experience+ is a polished metal marvel that will fit seamlessly into any kitchen. The shiny stainless steel finish gives it a high-quality look that suggests it belongs in an upscale cafe rather than on your countertop.

It’s not just about looks though – this machine is built to perform. The colour touchscreen is front and centre and is highly responsive and easy to use. Its sleek interface lets you navigate through the myriad of options with ease.

The machine is relatively compact for its capacity, making it a great choice even if you don’t have much space in your kitchen. The milk carafe is conveniently removable, so you can put it in the fridge between uses to keep your milk fresh and ready to use. These thoughtful details make this machine a real improvement to your morning routine.

Features: emotional and everything revolves around you

This hopper coffee maker is all about personalization. Whether you’re a coffee connoisseur who knows exactly how they like their brew or someone who just needs a quick fix of caffeine, the Intuition Experience+ has you covered. It stores up to eight individual profiles so everyone in your household can make their perfect cup of coffee at the touch of a button.

The personalization options are impressive. You can customize everything from the temperature of your drink to the intensity of your coffee and even the amount of milk. There’s a new 4th intensity level for those who like their coffee so strong it wakes up the neighbors – a feature that’s sure to please strong coffee lovers like me. If you want to switch between regular and decaf beans, however, you’re out of luck as there’s only one bean hopper.

The Intuition Experience+ isn’t just about espresso, though. With over 20 drink options, you can try everything from the classic cappuccino to the more exotic Nitro Coffee. The latter is particularly interesting—although it doesn’t use actual nitrogen like you’d get in a cafe, the machine cheats a little by using the milk wand to aerate cold coffee. The result? A creamy, cold brew coffee that tastes surprisingly good. And if you like it old-fashioned, there’s even a tea option. It simply squirts out hot water, but it’s much quicker than using a kettle.

Performance: Every sip is a pleasure

When it comes to performance, the Krups Intuition Experience+ doesn’t disappoint. It’s ready to go in just a few minutes and ready to use with a tap of the screen. Once switched on, you can quickly select your favorite drink from the extensive menu and the machine remembers your preferences thanks to its profile function. This makes preparing your ideal cup of coffee in the morning a breeze, especially when you’re not quite awake yet.

The machine is incredibly quiet – in fact, the quietest I’ve ever used – which means you can make your morning coffee without disturbing the whole household. It’s a small thing, but when you’re sneaking around early in the morning, it makes all the difference. That said, although the machine boots up quickly, it takes its time when it comes to actually making drinks. But because it’s so quiet, I’m happy to wait a few seconds longer for my perfectly brewed cup.

Each espresso has a rich, thick crema – a sure sign of quality. The espresso is lighter compared to other machines, resulting in a more aromatic and less bitter taste. The espresso feels smooth and coats your tongue without being too heavy or too thin. It’s the kind of espresso that makes you enjoy every sip.

The Krups Intuition Experience+ is an outstanding hopper coffee machine that offers you a near barista experience in your own home. Combining form and function, this machine is an excellent choice for coffee lovers who want to prepare their drinks to perfection.

However, it’s far from cheap, so it’ll take longer to pay for itself compared to a regular coffee shop visit, and it’s not the best option for those who regularly switch between beans. But with its quiet operation, sleek design, and impressive customization features, it’s otherwise perfect for anyone who values ​​a customized coffee experience without the hassle.
