| Review | Rating | Last Updated | Machine is not durable.
After about 1 year of use the pump failed. As the machine had made acceptable coffee and it looked good on the counter, I spent $60 for service. About 3 months after that, the control knob stripped. Well, I've learned my lesson, and will go for a more reputable maker, like Gaggia or Rancilio. | 1 | 784 days ago | A little clarity
All of the reviews of this model are mostly consistent with my own experience. Why did I give the product a five star rating? Because when this machine is compared to any traditional coffee maker, it is leagues better; plus, for the money, it makes better tasting espresso than what you will find at coffee houses. Compare it to other espresso machines and it depends on how much money you want to spend. The complaints about temperature are true. The complaints about controlling froth are also true. However, the espresso quality is better than some of the reviews suggest. I have yet to taste a better cup of espresso, coffee, cappucino, latte, etc. from any other machine or any other coffee house. I generally make cafe Americano with my machine and it's great. If you are a barista snob, you shouldn't buy this machine. If you want a great tasting cup of whatever, this is a very good machine for the money. | 5 | 784 days ago | Awesome machine!
This machine has been so terrific! I used to have a Starbucks barrista and was always confused by the multiple steps necessary to make a cup of espresso.

<br />The Capresso EspressoPro is SO much simpler AND faster! I can enjoy espresso's, latte's, and cafe con leche any time I want. It heats up quickly, brews nice and hot, and froths in a flash - and for a lot less than going out! | 5 | 784 days ago | Great for the price!
I am enjoying my coffee every morning. The frother works wonderfully. The espresso is just right with lots of crema. Easy to clean. Easy to use. | 5 | 784 days ago | finicky machine has a real design problem
I bought the Capresso 114 last December (the difference being, the model 112 has chrome trim and a very questionable milk reservoir). This machine is unbelievably finicky; you must use an extremely coarse grind (according to the manual), and almost zero tamping pressure (again, according to the manual), otherwise you get unbelievably slow coffee flow (several minutes for a shot of espresso). Even when you get everything according to instructions (which includes, according to Capresso tech support, disassembling the machine every few days), it takes at least 5 minutes to pour a shot of espresso, which comes out weak, bitter, and with no crema. After two months of discussing this with Capresso tech support and getting nowhere, I returned the machine to Amazon. After that I bought a Krups XP 4000 -- bliss! The machine makes great espresso in about 25 seconds, even with a fine grind and firm tamp. | 1 | 784 days ago |
