Rating: - Broken after 2 years and 2 months
I love the flavor, taste and everything about the way the machine should work, however after 1 year the basket hold feature broke. This means I could not set the wake up timer and use the grind and brew setting. It also means that I had to hold the basket under the grinder every time I make coffee!

That was last year.

I called Capresso about their $200 coffee maker and they told me to buy a new one because it was out of warranty!!!

At the 2 year 2 month mark the heating and pumping element broke. Now I have a $200 coffee maker that only grinds!

Made great coffee, but over priced and UNDER ENGINEERED!

Rating: - More Problems Than It's Worth
The Coffemaker never really worked very well. We had to start helping the basket swing over and lock after only a few weeks. After about a year, water flooded the counter-top when the water was pumped into the basket. Customer service provided some replacement parts and was very pleasant to work with but the problems were never really fixed, or the fix was short-lived. On the positive side, I like the fact that you don't have to measure coffe beans every night from a seperate container. $200.00 is a lot to pay for this "quality" of product.

Rating: - Best coffee machine I've used
I've had this machine close to two years now and I've NEVER had any problems with it. Reading some of the reviews, it really surprises me some of the problems they cite with it.

Upgrading from the Cuisinart grind and brew, its just a different world. With the Cuisinart, I was always having to clean the parts which took forever in the mornings. No more of that. Just simply take out the filter, put a new one in, pour some water in, and you're set to go. (i also use filtered water). This may be one of my best purchases. Yeah, 200 may seem like a lot for a coffee machine, but the ease of use each morning, combined with GREAT tasting freshly grinded coffee makes it worth the price. I would have gladly paid more.

I use mainly Starbucks beans from Samsclub. My friends and family love it. I'm always being asked to make coffee for them when they come over. I've been so impressed with the ease of use that I bought my neice one for her college graduation present.
