How functional is this machine?
As the Krups GVX242 Expert Pro Combi is an entry-level machine, it offers little functionality. The selection of seventeen grinds is adequate for most needs. And the high-quality burrs ensure a consistent grind that’s fine enough for espresso if required.
Its automatic programme means that once you’ve selected your preferred grind and volume, you can leave this coffee burr grinder to get on doing its thing.
The limitations
The only limitations relate to the bean hopper. It’s very small in size, and may not hold enough beans to make the promised twelve cups without refilling. It’s also not removable, making it tricky to change beans should you fancy a different type.
