Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Capresso 471.01 CoffeeTEC Digital 10-cup Coffeemaker with Stainless-Steel Vacuum Carafe and FrothXpress, Black
Customer Review: Wow !
Summary: 5 Stars
This coffee machine combines brew-through the lid technology, stainless steel thermal carafe, and a detachable milk frother. We use the frother just as frequently for making quick hot chocolate drinks from chocolate milk. The coffee brewer is superior and so is the well-designed stainless steel carafe. Capresso is the leading edge in coffee maker design and has an outstanding customer service department. We just were in such a hurry to use our new machine we didn't bother reading the instructions, so we ended up calling the toll free number twice and each time we were treated courteously and efficiently. We got the impression that this is a small enough company that still cares about it's customers. This machine is a winner and we are now giving them as gifts.Customer Review: LOVE IT WHEN IT WORKS!

THIS IS A GREAT MACHINE THAT HAS ALL THE RIGHT BELLS AND WHISTLES, LIKE AUTO PROGRAMING, STOPS TO POUR A CUP, COFFEE KEEPS RELATIVELY HOT IN THERMOS AND THE FROTH IS GREAT (WHEN IT WORKS) WE'VE OWNED THIS SINCE CHRISTMAS AND HAVE ALREADY HAD TO ORDER THE "T" PART FOR THE FROTHER. (EVEN THOUGH THEY INCLUDE 2) THEY MUST KNOW THIS IS A PROBLEM IF THEY GIVE YOU AN EXTRA ONE FROM THE GET GO! BUT LIKE I SAID WITH A LOT OF CLEANING & MAINTAINING OF THE FROTHER PARTS AND SOMETIMES JUST ADJUSTING THE WAY THE MILK CONTAINER(THAT IS INCLUDED) SITS, YOU CAN GET GREAT FROTH FOR A NICE CAFFE LATTE! I WOULD THINK FOR $200 YOU WOULD BE ABLE TO GET A FROTHER THAT WORKS WITHOUT YOU DOING SO MUCH WORK - BUT ATLEAST WHEN IT DOES...ITS WORTH IT!Customer Review: If only it walked the dog
Summary: 5 Stars
Could not be more pleased with the Capresso coffeemaker, which we have had for two months. After years with the typical Krups/Cuisanart-level machines we've been amazed at the difference a good coffee maker can make. Having a thermos container versus a burner to keep the coffee hot makes a big difference in the quality of the second and third cups of coffee. The milk steamer/frother works quite well; the machine is easy to use. The removeable water container is a joy--no more water poured from a lousy carafe into the machine or, rather, dripped all over the counter.
The only adjustment we've had to make is that the machine works fast and therefore requires, for our tastes, a finer grind and/or bit more coffee per pot.
Customer Review: I love this machine
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this machine with some trepidation after reading the reviews. It was expensive and seemed like I could have problems with it. I have had it for three months now and have only great things to say about it. The frother works perfectly and cleaning up the frothing pieces is very simple. I also made sure to get the free extra parts from Capresso so I have them on hand in case something happens to the loose parts. I love having the thermal pot and no smell of burnt coffee in the air. It is also very easy to set the timer-unlike my old Krups. It is the fastest coffee machine I have ever owned and it makes a great cup. I would recommend this machine to anyone who buys a latte each morning. I carry mine with me.Customer Review: FINALLY!
Summary: 5 Stars
OK, we love coffee . . . this is the first maker since our old Starbucks Barista version died that surpasses what we had - Braun, Cuisinart. Capresso makes a 500 model that doesn't have the steamer - I would suggest it also to save a few bucks. The controls are elegantly implemented, the dripless carafe is brilliant (REALLY!FINALLY NO DRIP!!!) and the steamer which originally was an indulgence is just too much fun.When we set it up there was a fitting on the steamer that was not sealing correctly - Capresso immediately sent us another entire body - it was just a painless great service experience. I do not work for this company - but will definitely suggest their products in the future.
