They nearly thought of everything...
Rating: 
This machine seemed like it had everything I was looking for: a water filter, a gold coffee filter, a timer, and a thermal carafe. It does have all those things and it makes excellent coffee. I LOVE waking up and having my coffee already made. However, there are silly little drawbacks like the fact that it's very hard to tell how much water you're putting in, the carafe cannot be placed on the burner unless it is partially open (to allow the coffee in while brewing, I suppose), and it doesn't stay as hot as I would like. Not bad, you can adapt to these things, but I had hoped for a little smarter design for this price. I didn't have the trouble with quality other reviewers have mentioned. It seems perfectly well made. If Capresso reads these reviews and makes some small modifications, it will be a perfect coffeemaker.
not quite as great as reviewed

This coffee maker makes wonderful, arromatic coffee and the timer feature is convenient. The water filtration system works great.
Potential problems are with the cafafe- if not inserted into the unit correctly, spillage can occur. This is also a problem if the swing-out filter door is not fully closed. Your coffee will be on the floor.
The only other complaint I have is the cafafe will not store in the unit while the carafe lid is closed. Not space saving in a small kitchen.
You must get this coffeemaker

I was skeptical after reading some reviews that the coffee would not be hot/stay hot. Got it today for the office -- coffee was scalding initially; 3 hours later still too hot to drink black. I love the fact that I can remove the water container and fill at the water cooler for truly clean water (it does come with a filter, but that's superfluous here). Cleanup? What cleanup? Rinse the gold filter, rinse the carafe, and you're done!
