Overview
The KRUPS Precision (XP801TU0) is an espresso machine with a built-in conical burr grinder, 30 adjustable grind settings, a pump-driven pressure gauge and a steam wand for milk frothing. It includes barista tools such as a tamping station with a knock box.
This sits between a fully manual espresso setup and a push-button superautomatic. It has a built-in grinder dosing directly into the portafilter, adjustable pre-infusion and temperature settings, but still requires the user to tamp, pull and steam manually, which one long-time reviewer and former competitive barista pointed out clearly is not a fully automatic machine.
- Built-in grinder, 30 grind settings
- Pump pressure gauge for shot monitoring
- 3 pre-infusion settings, adjustable temperature
- Includes tamping station with knock box
Who it's for
Suited to buyers moving up from a basic drip machine or pod system who want to learn hands-on espresso technique, including grinding and tamping, without paying for a standalone grinder separately. Not for anyone wanting a single-button, fully automatic espresso experience.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Reviewers, including a self-described former competitive barista, rated the built-in grinder and adjustable pre-infusion and temperature controls well above the machine's price point. Recurring complaints were a loud milk frother, with one owner switching back to a handheld frother, and leaking during use that KRUPS support described as normal. One buyer needed a warranty replacement after their first unit arrived faulty, but was satisfied with the replacement.

Is this a fully automatic espresso machine?
No, one reviewer, a former competitive barista, noted it is not a hit-the-button-and-go machine, you still tamp and pull the shot yourself.
Is the milk frother quiet?
