World Bank Research - Working Papers (#)
„Their results suggest that foreign banks were able to charge lower spreads relative to domestic banks. This was more so for de novo foreign banks than for those that entered through acquisitions. The overall level of foreign bank participation seemed to influence spreads indirectly, primarily through its effect on administrative costs. Bank concentration was positively and directly related to both higher spreads and costs.“

„I bought this on sale for $70 as a stopgap when my 10 year old Krupps Espresso Plus (pre Novo) wore out. I had to replace the back pressure valve in 6 months, and the machine was basically toast in 10 months of 2 cups a day. The portafilter can‘t be cleaned well, and the steam lance has a funky gadget on the end that is hard to clean.“

„I bought a Krups NOVO PLUS PREMIUM / ART.-NR.: FNC3 (968) and am very unhappy with the steam arm attachment thingy. I would much rather just have a straight steam arm, which I can steam milk with manually. I am wondering if it is possible to swap it out with another part.“
