Krups Intuition Preference EA8738

Overview

The Krups Intuition Preference represents the premium tier of Krups super-automatic lineup, featuring a sleek color touchscreen interface that brings a modern, intuitive user experience to automated coffee preparation. The machine supports multiple user profiles, each storing individualized preferences for all available drinks — a genuine convenience for multi-person households where everyone has different strength and volume preferences. The color display presents drinks with attractive graphics and allows deep customization of each recipe parameter before brewing. The conical burr grinder runs through its range with good consistency, and Krups Quattro Force technology optimizes the grind-to-cup process for best flavor extraction. The integrated milk system produces reliable froth quality with adjustable texture settings for different drink styles. A notable feature is the extra shot function, which adds an additional espresso shot to any drink for those who prefer stronger coffee without increasing volume. The large 2.3-liter water reservoir and spacious drip tray are practical touches that reduce maintenance frequency. Automatic cleaning and descaling programs are comprehensive, and the removable brew group ensures hygienic operation over time. The Intuition Preference occupies a sweet spot — more capable and refined than budget super-automatics, yet priced well below premium German and Swiss competitors.

The Krups Intuition Preference EA8738 comes equipped with PID temperature control for precise brewing, 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.
