Big Disappointment
After having two $150.00 coffee makers breakdown after about 2 years of use each, I was in search for something a little better. The Capresso MT500 at $189.00 was immediately inferior to what I had in the past; and, I am returning it. The coffee picks up a plastic smell from the hot water and the carafe does not ever pour properly. Enough said.
There does not seem to be a coffee maker that approaches professional grade for less than $900.00; and, this means you are buying a combo espresso,coffee,latte, grinder combo. Will somebody make a commercial grade coffee maker in the $300.00 range, PLEASE?!
Buyer beware! Weak coffee
After reading all the positive reviews, I just had to get one of these. One week later, I'm returnng it. I'm guessing I got a defective machine, since this many people can't be wrong...
I simply cannot get it to brew a "normal" cup of coffee: I'm not looking for Peet's quality or even Dunkin' Donuts. Just a passable cup of coffee. I've read through the manual several times (and c'mon, it's not rocket science: everyone knows how to use an automatic drip coffeemaker). I've fiddled with finer grinds; switching filters; doubling the amount of coffee... but no matter I do I end up with an extremely weak cup. And it's not like I'm a coffee snob, but the coffee this machine delivers is more like brown-tinted hot water than coffee.

Greatest coffee @ home ever!
We've used auto drip coffee makers for years. 2nd cup always had a bitter taste. This carafe looks beautiful on the table and the coffee is always great tasting. My husband & I both love it!
Refurbished Capresso
Really wanted this Capresso for my new kitchen. Basically it is beautiful! As an aside, it makes a wonderful cup/mug of coffee. Came packaged like new and at a more affordable price.
Very satisfied customers
I bought this for my husband two years ago and have not regretted it ever. For the first time today I discovered some mold in the area around where the reusable filter sits -- cleaning it out was a breeze. Everything came out easily for cleaning and went back in place again with no issues. The thermal carafe keeps our coffee super-warm for HOURS when we need it to.
A solid purchase that I am very pleased with, and very reasonably priced.
