I use the machine almost everyday and the nozzle broke within the first week. I then read up on the problem and ordered/paid for 2 new ones for £23.90 + delievery.
I am now down to the last of these 3 nozzles (the heat is too much for the type of plastic used and eventually splits at the top and steam pours out). I am not really prepared to spend £23.90 every other month just for my milk frother to work correctly. I have asked Krups to send me a replacement, but haven't heard anything back.
I agree that the steam nozzle is kinda cheap. Mine broke off when I ran it empty to test to see if it was clogged - a normal thing to do with a counter-top espresso machine for cleaning - and it just broke off. What happens is the heat weakens the plastic too much. However I think if you clean it diligently(no manual was available when we bought it and had to guess, really) you can make it last longer but I'm sure that it needs replacement every 6 months or so.
I received this product as a gift, and I would not recommend it to anyone. Do not purchase this machine. The froth nozzle attachment is faulty. It relies on 3 plastic snap claws that aren't up to the task. The nozzle keeps shooting off due to steam pressure and eventually one of the plastic claws breaks. Do your research on this product and you will see I'm not making this up.
Machine is Made in China . Krups offers a 2 year manufacturer warranty on this product.

I don't like the plastic tip of steamer.
most of espresso machine has metal tips
because plastic produce some environemental hormones in hot temperature.
They don't have any common sense..
