Krups EA8108

Overview

The Krups EA8108 occupies the entry-level position in the Krups super-automatic range, offering the fundamental bean-to-cup experience at a price that makes it accessible to budget-conscious buyers. Despite its affordable positioning, the EA8108 includes a basic steam wand with Panarello attachment — a feature often absent from competing entry-level models — allowing you to froth milk manually for cappuccinos and lattes. The metal conical burr grinder provides consistent grinding, and the compact form factor fits easily into small kitchens. Two coffee strength settings and adjustable cup size give enough flexibility for daily use without overwhelming new users with options. The 1.8-liter water tank offers reasonable capacity, and the bean hopper holds enough for approximately twelve drinks. The simple button interface makes operation intuitive from day one — no manuals needed, no menu diving required. The removable brew group allows periodic deep cleaning, and automatic rinse programs run at startup and shutdown to keep internal components fresh. Build quality is honest for the price — functional plastic with good assembly rather than premium materials. For first-time super-automatic buyers or anyone seeking a functional bean-to-cup machine without a significant investment, the EA8108 proves that automated fresh coffee need not be expensive.

The Krups EA8108 comes equipped with pre-infusion for even extraction. It features a thermoblock boiler system made of stainless steel. The vibratory pump delivers 15.0 bars of pressure for optimal extraction.

Priced at $300, the Krups EA8108 is designed for home baristas looking for quality without breaking the bank. As a super-automatic machine, it handles everything from grinding to extraction at the touch of a button — perfect for convenience without sacrificing quality.

In terms of build quality, the Krups EA8108 is a substantial machine, weighing in at 7.5 kg, manufactured in France, drawing 1450W of power. With dimensions of 245 x 370 x 335 mm (W×D×H), make sure you have adequate counter space. The built-in water reservoir holds 1800 ml, making it easy to set up anywhere in your kitchen.
