| Review | Rating | Last Updated | Fast, hot coffee in a great looking package with minor flaws
The first thing you notice about this machine is that it's probably the best looking drip coffee maker on the market. The aluminum body shines and the carafe has a very hefty look and feel to it, with the brushed stainless and black plastic. The machine is well made and thoughtfully laid out -no fancy dials, switches, or other gimmickry. It has an intuitive programmable display with a muted orange LED for time, green for program brew, and red for ON (brew now). Simple. The water reservoir is not removable, but the lid does open all the way up and stays up so you can easily fill it and the water filter is very easy to get at and change. The machine brews a whole pot in like 5-8 minutes -it's fast and has drip stop for those in a hurry. So that's all the good stuff.
<br />
<br />The bad: you have to clean the lid of the carafe carefully, otherwise you risk having coffee flow over if the little ball in the lid gets stuck. Also, because the drip stop and carafe lid are designed in such a way, if you don't correctly align the carafe with the drip-stop, you also risk getting coffee flowing all over the counter -major drag. And while the coffee filter holder itself comes out, it's very hard to clean the surrounding frame that holds it.
<br />And finally, there's the price -MAJOR premium over other comparable brands and given the I've had with the carafe lid and the number of times I've had coffee spilling out all over the pot and countertop, I really question the price.
<br />But if good looks and fast coffee are all that matter, this is a real contender. Otherwise, I would consider a less expensive machine. | 4 | 755 days ago | Noisiest coffee maker on the market!
I like it because you can tell when the coffee is done by the silence after making all that noise! It does all it says it will and the coffee is good. I agree with the problems listed by the other reviews. It is GREAT LOOKING, but is it worth the price? | 4 | 755 days ago | best cup of coffee
This coffeemaker makes the greatest tasting coffee, even with
<br />basic store brand coffee. The only drawback is that the carafe
<br />drips when you are pouring the last few cups, but this is a small price to pay for such great taste. The manufacturer does
<br />claim this event will occur. We are very pleased with our purchase. It even came in brushed stainless steel to match our appliances. | 4 | 742 days ago | Makes great coffee
I've been researching for a long time to buy a good coffee maker as I've been used to the espresso machine all the time. After a lot of research finally decided on buying this one.
<br />
<br />It took a couple of attempts to make good coffee until i figured to use 3-5 cups option for making strong coffee. Since then, I've been enjoying the great coffee every morning, now I almost don't miss my espresso machine anymore. It's definitely pricey compared to other coffee makers, but it's certainly worth it.
<br /> | 5 | 742 days ago | Quality, Speed, Consistency - A Product That Delivered
Good brew quality, fast output, and operational consistency have set the Capresso apart for me.
<br />Four brands of drip coffeemaker, priced from $30.00 to $170.00, held court on our counter.
<br />Though easy to operate and making decent coffee when new, most developed output quality issues (despite cleaning) or operational problems (leaks, etc)within 6 months.
<br />
<br />At 6 months and counting, the Capresso is going strong. It is the best drip coffee maker I have owned so far. | 5 | 742 days ago | Good coffee... but the machine has issues
I must agree with the others who have reviewed this machine that it does make very good coffee. However, despite making great coffee it is a very messy machine. After every batch of coffee I have to clean the inside of the flip top lid as coffee grinds back up and stick to it... yuck... nothing like wiping up wet mushy coffee grinds. Additionally, the water level gauge developed a nice green algae that I could not get rid of. I had the machine less than a year and passed it along to a friend as the maintenance was not worth it. Have reverted back to Krups to give them another try. | 2 | 742 days ago | Best Coffee I Have Ever Tasted!!!
After muddling around in the Department store coffemakers for years, I purchased this machine based upon the fact that I have a Capresso S8 Automatic Espresso Maker and enjoy it. This machine is truly amazing, making by far the best coffee I have tasted from a home machine. The carafe can leak when brewing if not aligned right,and has done so twice in 6 weeks, but if you know this and are careful to align it, no problems. Also, if you preheat the pot before brewing, the coffee stays hot for at least 4 hours. I recommend the carbon filters as well. If you want the best, you have to pay for it....so far after 6 weeks of daily coffee, we are both smiling every morning because of this machine. | 5 | 742 days ago |
