3 important things, first and second are grinder and fresh roasted coffee beans, the last one is xp4020.
if no fresh roasted beans, dont change anything, use the default basket is ok.
I bought a machine KRUPS XP 4000 in 2006 in France. The seller told me that it’s the same as XP4200 except the stainless control panel. But my machine doesn’t work very well. If I change the filter like your machine, does it work better? Where and how can I buy it? Which size should I choose? How can I change it ? Thank you. ( so many questions…)
Thank you for the video.
I would like to know if the diameter of the new filter Krups Vivo filter which you use is the very same as the original one coming with the machine? The same Tamper can be used? Thank you!
Thanks very much! I bought this same filter (Krups Vivo) based on your comment and removed the plastic part from the inside like your machine, effectively turning it into a non-pressurized filter and it works great.
I’m in the United States, so if anyone in the U.S. has any questions about this send me a message, I’m happy to help.
no any trick or cheat, brewing espresso need 3 things, frist and second are good grinder and fresh beans, last one is machine. i know some people say that under us$250 machine no good enough, temperature no stable, pressure……….. i just want to show the truth to anyone that under us$250″include the machine and grinder”, can make a good latte or capp.
no my shop, landy is the shop owner, i am a free helper to solve any problems about coffee in hong kong, of course is free for everyone.
forget 166, 2 friends of mind bought 166 and need to modify then to brew a espresso. fiema 600n can compare to 167, tasted and no much different between these 2 machines.
hey is that the fiema grinder? I’m looking to get one from your shop but your opening hours are a bit weird.. Is the grinder any good? how does it compare to the solis 166?
Dixie cup?

You use the Krups vivo double filter for single shots ?
I have the same Krups.Very nice Video and usefull comments!!!THANKS.
liquid cocaine…haha! i like that!

Hi, what is the purpose of removing the black plastic of the filter basket? is it for cleaning and is it necessary to do so?
Regarding the non pressurized filter, I am only using a cheap grinder, the Krups GVX2, is it not advised to change to non pressurized filter?
For the beans, I am just using the expresso beans from starbucks, any better recommendation? Thanks a lots
i had espresso for the first time, a triple shot, and it was like liquid cocane

What filter are you using on this machine?
I’m glad to find out it’s actually possible to make good espresso and steam milk on this.
thanks, so i guess that means the fiema is a better grinder?
solis 166 no fine enough for espresso, conical burr but the scale use slope plate lock, ground coffee no even.
hey is that the fiema grinder? I’m looking to get one from your shop but your opening hours are a bit weird.. Is the grinder any good? how does it compare to the solis 166?
no much different between them.
too fast? brew espresso, first and second important things are, grinder and fresh roasted beans.
hey guys, whats the different between the pressurized and non-pressurized filtered?
i am having problem that the espresso coming out way too fast too!! how to remedy that?
can you sell that tamper on ebay? hkcoffee wont ship their item over sea
I know the natural and original way to do it and tastes way more better
