Human baristas, beware: The robotic Krups EA9010 espresso machine matches many of your moves (pictures)

You might not guess from its compact size but the Krups EA9010 espresso machine is extremely capable and sophisticated.

The main menu offers cafe drink classics such as espresso, cappuccino and lattes.

Pouring milk into your glass yourself is the most challenging part of making cafe drinks with dairy.

Just like weighing out coffee beans and grounds, measuring milk volume by weight makes everything much easier.

One of the wildest features of the Krups EA9010 is its automatic milk frother, which lowers and raises under its own power.

This machine creates smooth foamed milk without you needing to have barista skills.

After your milk has been frothed, the machine pours on the espresso coffee.

A milk and coffee cafe beverage typically takes 2 to 3 minutes to prepare.

Another key factor to quality espresso is having fresh, clean, water on hand. The Krups EA9010 takes into account water hardness and sports a filter inside its removable water tank.

Included with the machine are two bottles of special cleaning liquid. You mount these to an arm inside located above the container for spent grounds.

The Krups EA9010 also has an optical scanner trained on its coffee bean tray to help track how much coffee it has.

A bean container accepts whole coffee beans and funnels them down into the Krups EA9010's built-in burr grinder.

The Krups EA9010 lets you control its brewing temperature to some degree with settings for low, medium and high.

You can also choose how strong you'd like your coffee and tweak the final volume of liquid brewed.

The Krups EA9010 was able to pull excellent shots of espresso consistently and extracted pleasing flavors from more challenging lightly roasted beans.
