Product Description:
To achieve a spectacular cup of coffee there are essential steps that need to be taken. The water must be free of chlorine taste (hence the charcoal filter), the machine must be able to brew larger or smaller amounts successfully (this one 'knows' to disperse hot water more slowly when the coffee ground amount is less). The coffee must be very hot (right around 192 Degrees F, like the brew from the MT500), and kept fresh, as in a double walled stainless steel carafe with a one way valve that keeps flavor and aroma in the coffee. Now it doesn't hurt if the machine itself is gorgeous either, or that it can output 10 cups of coffee in 8 minutes. Oh and one more thing: this is the only coffee maker in its class that has a stainless steel boiler so your coffee doesn't ever come in contact with aluminum. Normally this type of construction, and a 1200 watt heating element are found only on commercial grade appliances.
Amazon.com Review:
Employing a stainless-steel vacuum carafe instead of a warmingplate, this 1,200-watt coffeemaker brews up to ten 5-ounce cups in just8 minutes for maximum flavor and aroma, and the carafe then keeps thecoffee hot for 4 hours. The carafe prevents coffee from turning bitter,as it can when sitting on a warming plate, and doesn't have to remainwith the machine for coffee to stay hot. To reduce calcification,Capresso's stainless-steel ThermoBlock system prevents water fromcontacting aluminum inside the machine. Other features: a digital,programmable, 24-hour clock/timer that makes it possible to have coffeeready in the morning; an automatic pause when the carafe is removedduring the brewing process for a quick pour; a charcoal water filter toremove up to 83 percent of the chlorine in tap water; an electronicindicator to show when the water filter needs replacing; a setting forbrewing three to five cups without diluting flavor and aroma; apermanent Gold Tone filter; automatic shutoff after brewing; anexternal water-level indicator; and concealed cord storage.
With a polished, extruded-aluminum body and plastic accents, themachine looks great on the counter. It measures 9-3/4 inches wide,13-3/4 inches high, and 10 inches deep, weighs 7 pounds, and carries aone-year warranty against defects. --Fred Brack
Customer Reviews Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Too many problems
I have had to send back this coffee maker once as the clock did not work properly and the machine gurgled constantly, overflowed and generally made a mess. Received another machine back from Capresso after a hassle and a rude customer service rep. This one is having problems as well. For $180 dollars, Capresso should be making a much better product than this.
The Krups we had lasted a long time and was of a better quality than this. Capresso does get kudos for making a machine that ... Read More
Rating:  - Good but not great
I had high hopes for this coffeemaker--lots of great reviews from some coffee aficionado websites.And it does make decent coffee.But there are certain little things mentioned in other reviews that proved to be not only true, but very bothersome.My unit never did produce hot coffee.Pre-heated carafe or no, the coffee was never as hot as any other coffeemaker I have ever had, and therefore is pretty useless in my opinion.Also, it is true that the alignment of the carafe has to be perfect ...

Rating:  - Best Coffemaker I Ever Owned!
This is the best darned coffeemaker I have ever owned & I bought it refurbished for seventy bucks off the regular price while still getting the same warranty as a brand new machine. I have owned it for 9 months now.
BTW this is the ONLY drip coffeemaker with a stainless steel boiler widely available on the consumer market! That alone is worth the price. Why, you may ask? It's because my family members are susceptible to Alzheimer's (genealogy research has shown that of 10 brothers, ... Read More
Rating: - A true drip coffee connoisseur's pot
I have been brewing with this pot for four months now, and I have never been anything but completely pleased with its performance.The pot it replaced was another high-quality thermal carafe unit, and the MT-500 is head and shoulders superior in coffee consistency and flavor.
I am a bit of a coffee fanatic, roasting my own beans about twice a week, and as such I demand a high-quality cup of coffee.Normally one assumes that coffee prepared in a drip machine is going to be a bit of a compromise, ... Read More
Rating: - We Love the Coffee!
After wasting $200 on 2 Cuisinart coffee pot's that didn't last long we researched this Capresso and based on the reviews bought one. It does make a great cup of coffee and that's the bottom line for us. We have had no problems with dripping, or warm coffee. Sometimes we have a cup late in the day and the coffee that's left over still takes good.
Yes, I agree with most that the Coffee Pot is pricey. In the long run I would have saved money if I had gotten the Capresso before I bought the Cuisinart's.
