Krups Espresso Nuovo 2000 Instructions
Krups Inc. makes espresso machines in three varieties: combination coffee-espresso, steam-driven and pump-driven devices. The Krups Nuovo 2000, though no longer manufactured, operates like many of the other pump-driven machines in the company's lineup. Making a single or double cup of espresso isn't the hard part. Getting it to taste just like your corner Barista produced it, with that creamy color at the pour, will take some practice. Does this Spark an idea?
