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...)

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.

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!

[chi0002]

yes, same. it is 51mm. the original tamper diameter is 48.5mm, a little bit small.......

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.

great.

i have a krups xp4030

i have upgraded to a non pressurized portafilter, use a burr grinder, have tamped as hard as i possibly can, roast my own beans so they are fresh, yet my shots come out with hardly any crema and consistently pull 15 second shots. they're ok, but they are not what this video boasts. help!

That cream on top is pretty impressive.

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
