Krups EA8108 Arabica Picto - 1.7-Liter Water Tank
Published on 09/23/2026 at 22:24 | Editorial responsibility: Rafael Müller, Editor-in-Chief AD HOC NEWS
Krups EA8108 Arabica Picto is a compact fully automatic espresso machine built around a 1.7-liter water tank, a 260-gram bean hopper, and a 15-bar pump. Its black housing pairs automatic brewing with a manual steam nozzle for milk foam.
Compact Coffee Hardware
The machine uses 1,450 watts and an integrated metal conical grinder with three grind settings. The official Krups listing gives the EA8108 a 1.7-liter tank and 260-gram hopper, with coffee quantities adjustable from 20 ml to 220 ml and three temperature levels.
A rotary control and push buttons handle the main settings. The machine can prepare two cups at once, while the adjustable dispenser accommodates different cup heights.
Manual Milk Frothing
The EA8108 uses a steam nozzle rather than an automatic milk tank. That arrangement keeps the milk system separate from the bean and water reservoirs, but it also puts the frothing step at the counter.
The integrated grinder is designed for coffee beans, and the machine includes an automatic cleaning program. A Claris Aqua filter system is listed with the product, adding a replaceable water-filter component to the maintenance routine.
Size And Category Position
Retail specifications list the machine at 365 mm high, 330 mm wide, and 245 mm deep, with a weight of 6.92 kg. Those dimensions place it in the compact countertop segment, while the 15-bar pump and bean grinder keep it in the automatic espresso-machine category.
Compared with a capsule machine, the EA8108 adds fresh-bean grinding and adjustable coffee quantity but requires grinder cleaning, water-tank filling, and steam-nozzle care. Compared with a superautomatic model with an integrated milk carafe, its manual nozzle requires more hands-on preparation.
Verdict For Bean Coffee
The Krups EA8108 Arabica Picto fits users who want automatic bean grinding and espresso preparation without a built-in milk carafe. Its 1.7-liter tank, 260-gram hopper, two-cup function, and manual steam nozzle define the practical package; users seeking one-touch milk drinks need a different machine design.
