Jura-Capresso Capresso Elegance Therm Coffee Machine 437

Pros: Great design, excellent coffee
Cons: Store carafe off unit to keep coffee hot

This may be coffee nirvana. My new Capresso "Elegance Therm" arrived a few days ago and I am happily brewing terrific pots of coffee. When my last coffeemaker quit cold one dire morning last week, I immediately hopped on the internet and spent time ...

Pros: easy to use; coffee tastes great and stays hot
Cons: thermal carafe must be removed to be made airtight

Since there are several other reviews of this coffee maker, I’ll just add a couple of notes based on about four months of usage of this product that don’t seem to have been brought up by other reviewers.

Minor Carafe Concerns

If...

Pros: Thermal easy-pour carafe holds heat+flavor, programmable, water filter, cone brewing, removable resevoir, drip-stop
Cons: cost

I love coffee, but, only when it is good. Sometimes, when someone is kind enough to pour me a cup, it just sits there, because I have tasted it, and, it just doesn't measure up. Good coffee is simple:

good beans (nicely roasted, well grinded...

Pros: very versitile and easy to use
Cons: ease of use may cause one to indulge in too much coffee

I have always been a fairly good cook and have pretty good success at recreating dishes I have encountered in restaurants. So why not try my hand to see if I could make a coffee drink equal to that which I enjoyed in a commercial establishment. Because...

Pros: design, taste, heat
Cons: price, capacity

I bought the Capresso Elegance Thermos coffeemaker after having owned or tried several different makes and models, with widely varying satisfaction. My first purchases were low priced models from good brands (Cuisinart, Braun), because I wanted to save...

Pros: Great coffee, thermal carafe, timed brewing
Cons: Smaller capacity

I have had this Capresso coffee maker for about six months and I have become spoiled. I upgraded from a Braun coffee maker with two things in mind: I wanted a thermal carafe and the ability to set up the machine the night before to automatically brew...

Pros: Nice looking; comes apart easily for cleaning; water filter
Cons: Can't get hot coffee; expensive; small capacity

I bought this unit to replace my Cuisinart thermal carafe drip machine because that one kept overflowing when a larger pot was brewed. I was excited to get the Capresso after reading several positive reviews and learning that it is the model that Peet's...

Pros: Attractive style, component disassembly for cleaning, great taste
Cons: Must "pre-heat" the carafe, White carafe turns grungy quickly, too small a carafe

This machine has been our primary coffee maker for a year now. It makes a GREAT cup of coffee due to the careful brew system design for the grounds basket and flow cup. It WOULD be a much better item if it brewed ten or twelve cups rather than only...

Pros: No burner to accidentally leave on
Cons: Hot? Well, not exactly ...

I used to own the Capresso Elegance Therm coffee maker, before I bought my wonderful Bunn B-10 coffee maker. (You can check my review out for more info on it - it's awesome!) At first, I was bowled over by the Capresso. It made a real good cup of coffee...

Pros: Easy to use. Lift out water reservoir. keeps coffee warm all day.
Cons: Hard to keep white carafe clean without scrubbing as they recommend

I bought this model based upon the review of the higher end model in the Sunday paper on thermal carafe coffee makers. I didn't need espresso or steamers but just a decent cup of coffee that wouldn't burn after 15 minutes like my older model.
...

Pros: thermal pot
Cons: a little small, the pause-and-serve feature leaks

The best feature on this coffee maker is the thermal pot. It totally avoids the nasty problem of the burner destroying the coffee flavor. I have had no big problems with this coffee maker and would recommend it to anyone. The coffee is consistent and...

Pros: Attractive, clean styling and great tasting coffee. 24 hr.timer
Cons: Quality is poor, engineering is not what it should be.

After researching the thermal coffee makers available, the Capresso seemed to be the best in terms of features and styling, although it was more pricey than most.
Unfortunately, when it arrived, the quality of construction, and the use of poor...

Pros: Essentially none
Cons: Cheaply made, makes lousy coffee, breaks quickly

This machine is cheap garbage, clearly made by a marketing company, not by anyone who cares about coffee or knows about coffee. The water filter is a cheap, useless gimmick - it will work as billed for just a couple of uses, thereupon requiring the...

Pros: Hot Tasty Brew
Cons: It won't clean up after itself

I just got this as a gift and let me tell you, if you love coffee, I mean really good, hot coffee, you need to get this maker. The water brews six degrees hotter that most makers and if you know your coffee you know how important that can be. To really...

Pros: good machine, keeps coffee warm
Cons: clock is small and misplaced

This is a great machine and I can't stress that enough. My wife and I went out and bought a baun, then returned it for a Krups and then returned that for this machine. The reviews we read on this site were the impetus for our purchase. I can't tell...
