Capresso CoffeeTec

by msjam , Dec 30 '04
Pros: Makes good, hot coffee, easy to use.
Cons: Milk frother is unreliable.
If I was going to spend money on something like a high-end coffeemaker, I made sure that I did my homework first. I wanted a coffeemaker that had a timer, caraffe that maintains hot coffee, without the need for a warming plate and is fairly easy to ...

A worthwhile commitment

by jarelj Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Oct 20 '02
Pros: Great tasting coffee, easy milk frother, looks cool
Cons: You have to want the froth feature to justify the price
First of all, I am a self-confessed "gadget lover", so my tastes and tolerance for complexity are probably higher than the average "java guzzler". That being said, I think this is a wonderful product. I got it to replace two separate units, an...

Capresso rules !

by ratsauce , Dec 20 '03
Pros: Best auto-drip coffee ever, looks great too.
Cons: Big countertop footprint. Many more features than I need. Pricey at list.
A little about my requirements. I have long loved good coffee, and I drink it in quantity (often 2 pots a day myself) while working long and frantic days from my home office. I don't have a lot of time to fuss with coffee making. I need lots of good ...

an expensive mistake

by pdauby , Feb 27 '01
Pros: Easy to use, great tasting coffee, thermal carafe, timer
Cons: Frothing does not work Very expensive
I love good coffee. I drink it everyday. So when my coffee maker died, I looked around for a good one that would froth milk also. I found this coffee maker, and anothe similar one by another maker for only $99. I decided to buy this one, as if it's...

Coffee frothed milk hot water

by komondor , Nov 29 '02
Pros: Great Coffee and frother. Can't break carafe!
Cons: Price. 10 cups vs 12.
The Capresso Machine works well for what it was designed for. It makes very good coffee without that bitter taste you get from some coffee makers. Whether it is because it brews quickly. doesn't have a hotplate I don't know I do know the coffee taste b ...

Happy Together

by elissa8510 , Sep 16 '02
Pros: Hot great coffee and instant cappuccino
Cons: The cost is more than most people would spend on a coffee machine.
After reading other Epinion reviews I was hesitant to spend this much on a coffee maker/cappuccino machine. However, after buying and using it, I can only say this about those reviews:
1)Either the people who wrote them didn't take the trouble to...

A good thing that didn't last.

by kwazgo , May 25 '05
Pros: Best-tasting coffee we ever made.
Cons: Unit didn't last, and service was a disappointment.
I saw a gadget guy on TV, about a year ago, describing a $2000 Capresso "coffee center". I thought "maybe they make something good I could afford", and ended up paying about $200 for a (white) Capresso Coffee TEC 471. What a surprise! Our regular ...

I purchased this unit at Williams Sonoma for my husband, who was truly impressed with the ability of the airtight thermal carafe to keep his java fresh and warm. I was thrilld the first time I made lattes with beautiful frothed milk atop for my friends....

by stumpertsp , Jan 06 '04
Pros: Steam is nice feature but after first week we rarely used it
Cons: Unit has faulty reservoir design causing it to leak after 10 months - BUYER BEWARE
I have owned the Capresso Coffee Machine model #471 for 18 months. I make only one 6-8 cup batch of coffee every morning . I make my coffee at night and expect to find coffee in the morning . After the FIRST 6 months the water reservoir began ...

Only for wealthy froth-lovers with time on their hands

by kewtone , Jul 29 '01
Pros: Nice style, good coffee, sturdy carafe
Cons: Expensive, frother difficult to clean
This machine caught my attention because of it's stylish look and specifically, the fact that it had an attached milk frothing mechanism, as I'd always wished to make lattes like the ones they serve in restaurants. At this price, that's what I thought I...

Easy Froth and Super Hot Coffee

by jglasnapp , Apr 18 '00
Pros: super hot coffee
Cons: clean up
I love coffee. This machine is excellent. Not only does it heat coffee super hot and keeps it hot in the container, it is so easy to froth milk. I love the way it sucks up cold milk and spits it out as HOT FROTH. Don't you hate it when your coffee...

Too expensive and not that great

by doubly , Jul 05 '01
Pros: Unbreakable thermal carafe; Fast, hot coffee.
Cons: High price considering milk frother doesn't work very well.
I recently broke the glass carafe for my coffee maker, and was unable to find a replacement, so I decided to replace the entire coffee maker with one having a stainless steel or other less-breakable carafe. I stumbled across the Capresso CoffeeTEC at...

Luke warm coffee after 30 minutes

by olequijote , Mar 19 '02
Pros: Looks pretty cool.
Cons: Coffee won't stay hot for long. Milk frothing more trouble than worth. Expensive.
The purpose of a thermal carafe is to keep coffee hot for a long time. Capresso claims that this machine's carafe will keep coffee hot for 4 hours. Nonsense. If you brew, say, about six cups, the coffee will not even be drinkably warm in 30 minutes....
