Customer Rating: Summary: Best coffee maker I've owned Comment: I am now on my second of these machines. The first lasted for five to six years until it eventually broke and quit working properly. [...] but I guess I just take it as a given that most consumer products, especially electrical ones, are not built for the long haul. Nevertheless, I have been very satisfied with this coffee maker. It makes good coffee quickly, and is easy to use. The carafe keeps the coffee reasonably hot for at least a couple hours, depending on how much coffee is in it. (Lower volumes cool faster.) The coffee does not get burnt as it does with hotplate coffee makers. Also, the carafe pours perfectly, unlike other brands and models I've seen. With the reusable filter, there is no need to buy paper filters. Other than a programmable timer/clock and the ability to pour a cup in mid-brew, there are no fancy, extraneous frills, just a very functional, satisfactory product. I have never owned a $200 or $300 coffee maker, and see no need when this machine is available for much less. Customer Rating: Summary: Great features except one! Comment: Our household appreciates a good cup of coffee and the Capresso certainly delivers it. The features we were looking for included a removeable water reservoir, the capablity of being programmed and a thermal carafe instead of a warming plate. The only draw back is that it only has an eight cup capacity! On the rare occasion that coffee is left in the carafe, the temperature the carafe maintains is really good. We have had coffee over 4 hours later that was still piping hot and very flavorful.The charcoal filter may be an added benefit for some, however it is redundant for us because we have an inline water filtration system. Customer Rating: Summary: Broken in 3 Months Comment: For many years I used a Capresso thermal coffeemaker with great results, until the heating element gave out. Three months ago I purchased the Capresso Elegance. It doesn't heat the water beyond tepid, and today a plastic part broke off the bottom of the filter basket. The coffeemaker is now inoperable, unless you insert something like a knife to line up the basket with the drip mechanism, and then carefully withdraw the knife and try to close the basket door. I'll be contacting Capresso to discover whether they might be able to forward a new basket to me, but this Capresso product no longer rates high on my list! Customer Rating: Summary: Delicious coffee Comment: This pot has everything I need. It takes up very little space, it is handsome,you can get a cup while it's brewing, it doesn't stain, it keeps the coffee hot in its thermal pot, it has a timer, and none of the above would matter for a second if it didn't make a first rate cup of coffee.
I bought it knowing that the piece that shuts off the flow when you get a mid-brew cup is fragile. And I immediatly broke it, called Capresso for another filter holder, and treat it with the attention it needs.
The top was tricky to twist on, initially. So I made two small dots that lined it up for sealing. Customer Rating: Summary: Almost Me Proof Comment: I've had this machine long enough to brew literally several thousand pots of coffee...like more than 4! I just bought a new one because I finally just plain wore the first one out. Actually it still brews just fine but I broke the sneak-a-cup lever for the second time plus in appliance years this thing is older than dirt so I'm gonna retire it(spare parts).
If this thing can stand up to me it can stand up to anyone. I've had none of the problems some other folks have had and I don't take coffee as seriously as some people but I can say I didn't even shop other coffee makers I just came here and got me a new one.
If you drink coffee like a normal person I can't imagine you're ever going to buy another coffee maker because this one will probably last you forever.
