Product Description:
The best of coffee culture in one convenient package. Eliminating all the strenuous steps of conventional espresso/cappuccino machinestamping, hot filters and stubborn sievesthis all-in-one center lets you pour in the coffee, switch on the pump and enjoy! One-year warranty. Model 121.
Amazon.com Review:
By eliminating the usual fuss and mess, this 1,200-watt machine makes it easy to brew espresso and make cappuccinos and lattes at home or in the office. It's semiautomatic because all that's required is to fill the water tank, place ground coffee into a receptacle, and pull a lever. Within seconds coffee flows from the double spout, which adjusts for different cup heights, into one or two cups. No tamping is required because the machine tamps the coffee precisely and automatically. Nor is it necessary to clean used coffee grounds out of a messy filter holder, because there is no filter holder, and the machine automatically discards grounds into a waste tray. The tray also catches overflows, and a light shows when it needs emptying.
For steaming and frothing milk to make cappuccinos, lattes, and hot chocolates and for delivering hot water for tea, there's a wand that rotates out to fit inside a pitcher or cup. The coffee receptacle accepts 7 to 15 grams (one or two fillings of the included scoop), and the powerful pump supplies enough hot water each time to fill cups from 1-1/2 ounces to 12 ounces, which means it will make a big mug of regular coffee as well as an espresso. The 53-ounce water tank is transparent for water-level monitoring. Water heats quickly thanks to the 1,200-watt heating coil, and a thermostat light shows when the water is hottest. The machine has internal storage for the power cord and comes with clear instructions, drink recipes, and a one-year warranty against defects. --Fred Brack

I drink espresso every day, so my espresso machine needs to be durable. I've had the Capresso Ultima espresso machine for a little over three months. ... Read More
Rating:  - A decent machine that works well
This machine does exactly what it says it does; makes shots and contains the mess to an internal container that is easy to dump out. We like to clean the machine every day, which takes between ten and fifteen minutes. Right after we make coffee, we run hot water through the steam spout and the espresso maker to clean the lines. Then we rinse off the top, wipe the excess beans into the container, and wash the other parts.
We have one complaint; after a week or two, the steam arm only works ... Read More
Rating:  - Great For The Office!
When moving into our new office, I was looking to get an espresso machine, but was concerned that getting folks to clean it out after using it would prove too difficult. I came across the Capresso and decided to give it a try because it was self cleaning.
Almost a year a half later I'm extremely satisfied with this amazing machine.Because it's used differently than most espresso machines, it takes a bit to get used to it. But once folks get the hang of making espresso, it's a breeze to use. ... Read More
Rating: - Great machine
Did not want to spend 500 plus dollars on a automatic, so I comprimised with the semi auto Capresso. I enjoy the flavorful coffee and it is a snap to use. simple put the coffee in the machine, rotate it, press the handle down and turn the pump on. It would be nice to set the amount of espresso that it makes, but wait 5-15 seconds depending on your taste likings and you have coffee house quality espresso. I would give it a five stars if it allowed you to set the amount of water / espresso that flowed through ... Read More
Rating:  - Had my unit for 5 years, and still works!
I was happy to see that this product is still selling.I got it as a Christmas gift about 6 years ago and about a year later the top got stuck and it was still under warranty so the company shipped me a new one.Well, here are my pros and cons:
Pros:
- Makes a great lattes, I can make it just the way I want, without paying a fortune.
- I like Starbucks coffee so I buy my coffee from them and have them grind it.
- Customer service was great!
- Steams milk perfectly, not sea form. ... Read More
