Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Capresso 471.01 CoffeeTEC Digital 10-cup Coffeemaker with Stainless-Steel Vacuum Carafe and FrothXpress, Black
Customer Review: I was skeptical but wanted a good frother badly!
Summary: 4 Stars
Pretty decent bit of a contraption for a real coffee drinker. Honestly I only drink iced coffee in the summer and thats my coffee experience each year. I now have this machine for almost 2yrs and its still in fairly new condition.The frothing mechanisms worked marvellously but I lost patience with the intense cleaning...the novelty just wore out for me. Don't get me wrong, the coffee brews perfectly each time and the coffee really does stay hot for about 5hrs if you keep the lid on tightly. Currently its just another pretty gadget for my counter top. I would consider selling for the right price, its in new condition still with all mechanisms in place and only been used a few times.Customer Review: Cappuccinno System for the Electronically Challenged
Summary: 4 Stars
I own two of these machines and love them. Probably not for those who take their coffee and it's preparation extremely seriously. It is very simple to use and makes a very good cup of coffee and the best hot chocolate. The steaming apparatus must be kept very clean otherwise it doesn't froth but never fails to deliver steamed milk. The only negative I have found is customer service. The woman I spoke to was rude and unhelpful when I tried to find out why the milk didn't froth. I had problems with one machine but not the other and found through trial and error, that water quality, and milk quality probably made the difference. For me though, it is worth the trouble.Customer Review: The best Coffee/Esspresso Machine ever
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this coffee machine about a 2 months ago, and it has been used everyday since it arrived. I love the milk frothing part, it builds up enough steam to be able to froth the milk in just secords. It also only takes about 2 or 3 min to make a whole pot of coffee. I was worried that because it had no warming plate the coffee would get cold quickly, but one day I made coffee at about 7:30am and at 7pm that night the coffee was still warm enough to drink. I made hot chocolate in it, and that was wonderful!!! This is great if you have kids! My son really enjoys the hot chocolate. I would love to buy another to have at work too! I would recommend buying it. You will love it!Customer Review: Best of both worlds

If you are one of those individuals who does not drink pure coffee, this is the machine for you. The froth system is absolutely amazing. Infact, I find it better than what they use at Starbucks. The coffee pot retains heat and flavors for up to 6 hours.
The only drawback with this machine is the initial setup, which can be slightly confusing if you are the type of person who prefers out of the box setup. The setup instructions are quite straight forward, just wished that the layout was modified. There is alot of referring to figures (which happens to be on another page) than the instructions.
great machine overall.
Customer Review: Great froth and coffee
Summary: 5 Stars
Loved the coffee and the froth. Easy to use - especially when you watch the video that comes with it. After owning other machines such as Krups where you have to manually froth the milk (and it just bubbles up instead of frothing), I was amazed at the perfect glass of frothed milk it creates as I stand back and watch...it doesn't get much easier than that. I didn't have any problems with milk splashing/spurting out as others have mentioned. I used a normal-sized mug - nothing fancy - and got perfect results. I guess you can tell I'm impressed with this product, as I've just typed a paragraph about froth perfection!
