Overview
The Krups Calvi XP3440 is an ultra-slim semi-automatic designed for narrow kitchen spaces, measuring just 142mm wide — barely wider than a standard coffee mug. This extreme compactness makes the Calvi ideal for galley kitchens, boats, and RVs where counter space is at an absolute premium. Despite its slim profile, the Calvi delivers genuine 15-bar espresso with a thermoblock that heats in about 40 seconds. The Panarello steam attachment handles basic milk frothing, and the dual-filter holder accepts both ground coffee and ESE pods. The Calvi XP3440 has earned a loyal following in France, where Krups maintains particularly strong brand presence.
It features a thermoblock boiler system made of stainless steel. The vibratory pump delivers 15.0 bars of pressure for optimal extraction. It uses a Proprietary group head.
Priced at $200, the Krups Calvi XP3440 is designed for budget-conscious beginners and casual coffee drinkers. As a semi-automatic machine, it gives you control over the brewing process while handling pressure and temperature automatically.
In terms of build quality, the Krups Calvi XP3440 is a substantial machine, weighing in at 3.6 kg, manufactured in Germany, drawing 1460W of power. With dimensions of 142 x 300 x 292 mm (W×D×H), make sure you have adequate counter space. The built-in water reservoir holds 1100 ml, making it easy to set up anywhere in your kitchen.
