Customer reviews average 4.8 / 5 stars, praising the design and milk‑foam quality while noting the high initial cost.

The Krups Coffee Crush SA402, a compact fully‑automatic espresso machine, was tested and received an overall score of 2.1. It delivers strong milk foam, good espresso and cold‑brew flavors, and offers quick cleaning via an eject‑button. Its dimensions (36 × 15 × 29.5 cm) make it space‑saving, and it has a 2‑liter water tank. Weaknesses include a lack of a bean‑sensor, limited space for larger cups, and a largely plastic construction. The digital user manual is accessed via QR code, and no water filter is supplied.
