Jura-Capresso MT500 10-Cup Coffee Maker

Pros: Best brew, great appearance, solid construction
Cons: Quality doesn't come cheap

First off, let me say that drip coffee isn’t my favorite way to make coffee. A French press will give you a much better cup. However it isn’t always practical or convenient to press coffee. The Capresso MT 500 might be the second best way to make ...

Pros: Solid construction, clean layout, and it brews super hot coffee.
Cons: Price.

I have owned about seven different coffee makers and none of them compares to the Capresso MT500. I was tired of burnt coffee, carafes that spill when you pour, and cheap construction. The price of the MT500 may be steep, however, the coffee it brews...

Pros: attractive. great coffee. Easy to clean and operate. Thermal carafe A+ after several hours.
Cons: More expensive. coffee basket doesn't stand alone. coffee basket next to water reservoir

My wife and I had 10 year old Krups we liked a lot. It made a very good cup of coffee. We needed a new one and bought another Krups, but the new ones have a little plastic catch and spring lever that looks like trouble, will wear or break in time, and we ...

Pros: Best Tasting Coffee
Cons: Price, one piece lid, carafe lid alignment indicator

My wife and I have had our MT500 for about a year now and we both really like it. It makes the best coffee we have ever had at home. We fill it with water and grounds before going to bed. I used the instructions to set the clock and timer the first ...

Pros: Fast, hot and excellent tasting coffee. Unbreakable carafe
Cons: none

This coffeemaker brews a great cup of coffee and there is almost no heat-loss during the brewing cyc ...

Pros: Consistently flavorful coffee made quickly and kept hot for a long time.
Cons: People that cannot follow instructions or cannot visually discern improperly located equipment may have problems.

This review is being written from the perspective of a person who is not a “Coffee Snob”. I cannot tell you by drinking a cup of coffee, what blend, roast process, grind type, species of bean, or travel from what region of the world that the ...

Pros: Easy to use. Coffee is piping hot and tastes wonderful!
Cons: Limited availability in walk in stores.

I have been looking for a machine just like this. I have gone through so many at home coffee machines looking for that "coffee shop" taste to no avail. Even those bought at the "coffee shop" just did not meet the standards I was looking for. After ...

Pros: Thermal carafe Easy to clean gold filter Best tasting coffee
Cons: So long as you are careful about placing the carafe, there are no cons

We have used this coffee maker at least once daily for more than four years and are about to order a new one because the whole machine is showing its age. It makes excellent coffee and we have no hesitation about buying another. Having grown up ...

Pros: Excellent coffee. Great styling. And a carafe.
Cons: Oh, it's a spendy little number....

So my grind-n-brew died. Finally happened, I can't complain. Actually, I'm not going to miss the early morning aircraft-taking-off noise of the grinder switching on. Or the horrendous beeping of the thing when it was done. Or the fifty dang parts I ...

Pros: excellent coffee, super easy to use, attractive machine!
Cons: none

This is my third thermal carafe coffee maker this year. The Zojirushi I started with died after six weeks. I moved on to a Barista from Starbux that I loathed and returned. After reading many good reviews of this Capresso on epinions and some coffee ...

Pros: Excellent hot coffee. Water filter. Good manual. Easy to use. Excellent carafe. Pretty!
Cons: 3-5 cup selector=watery coffee. Not easy to clean.

This coffee maker is pretty, oh so pretty (bling factor! all it needs are some spinnies.. lol). It also makes hot, delicious coffee that keeps its temperature for hours. No, really, it does keep the coffee hot for hours... after a 10 hour day of work, ...

Pros: great coffee, beautiful design, insulated carafe, auto shut off
Cons: carafe smaller than reservoir, a tad expensive

This replaces an 8 year old Krups 12 cup. Purchased from Sur La Table in Scottsdale. I followed the instructions and ran a couple of full pots of water through the machine prior to use. The instructions don't seem to indicate that you should rinse ...

Pros: Keeps coffee hot, easy to use and clean
Cons: none

This was a great purchase. I have been looking for a good drip coffeemaker for a long time. This is it. The only worry that I really had was how long the coffee stayed hot in the thermos; so I will pass on my little test.

Pros: It looks great. The coffee if hot and flavorful. It's very easy to use.
Cons: So far, we really don't have any complaints about this machine.

My husband and I have been using the Capresso MT500 for a couple of weeks now. We are thoroughly satisfied with it. We tried some other brands that either did not make the coffee hot enough or didn't fit between my counter top and the bottom of the...

Pros: Fast brewing. Carafe keeps coffee hot! Removable brew basket.
Cons: Noisy! Controls are poorly placed. Large lid Variable coffee

When our Braun of 10 years finally began acting squirrely we decided to look for a new machine. I'd read about the new Capresso machines and decided that we liked the idea of a thermos. This is no ordinary thermos, it's very stylish and keeps the...
