Title: A fully competent replacement for your aging Melitta
Review: Like so many others, I was looking to replace my (sadly) retired Melitta Mill & Brew that finally gave up the ghost after 9 years of deeply satisfying brewing. I hunted for weeks, reading reviews and cautiously examining the specs on any grind-and-brew coffeemaker under the $400 price point. After much more deliberation than my last new car purchase (since coffee is a strikingly important part of my day) I ordered the Capresso GS, and hoped for the best, but was prepared to be only moderately satisfied in comparison to the caffeinated bliss that was my Melitta.I couldn't be happier, unless it had come with a winning lottery ticket taped to the bottom of the box. Yeah, I'd have been MUCH happier with that. But alas.The issues that I was concerned about (having read reviews of the Krups, Cuisinart, Breville, Mr. Coffee (you're kidding, right?), Saeco, and Capresso models) were:1. Coffee flavor, aroma, and experienceI'm pretty picky about my beans, my roast, and freshness. For years, I even had a custom coffee roaster who would do 2-pound batches of a custom roast for me (oh, that she was still in business...) so that I knew it was as fresh as could be and exactly to my liking. All that effort is in search of one goal: the best cup of coffee that I can reasonably afford while not leaving my house. But to make good beans worthwhile, we all know that you've got to use a burr grinder, closely and consistently manage your beans and grind, grind right before brewing, achieve proper temperature, etc. On these fronts the Capresso was stellar. It is a clear improvement over the Melitta, notably the adjustable grind and the burr grinding. The flavor of the coffee is consistently superior. I'm enjoying better coffee at home than I can get even if I go out. I am a dark coffee fan, and I have no problem getting the coffee to a darkness of my liking. What a pleasant surprise. I took the advice of other reviewers here, and set to 10, dark roast, and carefully only use 10 cups of water (and not more, which will fit but will thin the coffee too much for my taste.)2. Cleanup, maintenance, and mess-makingWe have a Cuisinart at the office, and I hate its guts. It makes decent coffee, but Cuisinart has a complete fail in the carafe department. It is impossible to pour a cup of coffee from a Cuisinart carafe without spilling, and when pouring water in, it's common to spill a full cup of water unless you have the patience of Job to pour it ever-so-slowly (and even then it drips quite a bit). The Capresso is full of win on this account: it is super-easy to fill, brew, pour, and clean up without laying waste to your kitchen. No drips at all. Moreover, the cleanup is much easier than the Melitta -- just remove the basket, dump the grinds, and rinse. No towel-drying rituals, no drips and spills. I have occasionally brushed thru the ground-coffee transit tunnel (since I use fresh, wet beans that can clog this up according to other reviews) about once every 10 brews or so, and I've not had any clogging problems yet. I really like that the bean hopper (though a bit small) has a lid that (in my experience) stays on, but doesn't fit too tightly, and is nice an wide -- it keeps me from spilling beans. The water-fill opening is large, and easy to look into to see the cup measurements inside (as long as you're brewing 8 or 10 cups), but I wouldn't want to have to get a flashlight and peer all the way down to the 2-cup mark... but this is not an issue for me, because I never brew 2 cups of coffee. This is a much neater experience overall, and much easier to clean than my Melitta.3. Human factors: programmability and ease of use, noise level etc.The Capresso is quite simple to operate, and the user interface is better designed than many other coffeemakers I've used (notably better than Cuisinart, in my opinion). Easy-to-read labels that are in black and contrast well against the stainless are important to folks whose eyesight isn't everything it could be at 5am. 🙂 That said, once you program the Capresso, you're in a one-touch-and-done situation, both in "auto-start" and at "ad-hoc" brewing -- once set, it retains its settings and you don't need to constantly go back and rejigger it. One observation, though: if you lose power or unplug the unit, you have to (at least) reset the time before the coffeemaker will operate at all. (Look on the bright side, it won't always be 12:00.) So if your power blinks (even a tiny bit) while you're asleep, not only will you not have coffee in the morning, you'll have to reset the time before brewing any. IMO, a little bit of battery backup or something would have gone a long way here: the last thing I need in the morning is to wake up to a coffeemaker that I have to reprogram, before I've had my first cup of coffee. As far as the noise level of the grinder: my perception is that it's slightly less loud than the Melitta. Certainly not quiet, and definitely a different pitch (lower) than the Melitta (lower growl vs. higher whine), but I don't find it offensive. But then, my bedroom isn't anywhere near the kitchen, either.I stayed away from the TS model (with the thermal carafe) because that's unnecessary (to me) and I certainly stayed away from the Cuisinart thermal carafes for the gymnastics exercise to get all the coffee out. But a couple of reviews had a big influence on my decision to buy the Capresso; these are strong reviews that were superhelpful, by Dodadnules ( http://www.amazon.com/review/R43ILAGWOV2B8/ref=cm_cr_pr_perm?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B002QG0RRC&linkCode=&nodeID=&tag= ) and by Steven Dennis ( http://www.amazon.com/review/R1YVJ855IH3U8S/ref=cm_cr_rdp_perm?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B002EVOVPI&linkCode=&nodeID=&tag= ). These reviews were the ones that convinced me, they're accurate and I agree with their observations now that I've had my Capresso for a bit. Props to them both.All in all I'm really happy with the Capresso. Well worth the money so far, and I'm enjoying my coffee thoroughly. After I've had it a while (year?) or if my impressions change, I'll update this review.***UPDATE*** Amazon should offer the option to give a 6-star rating. I'm as happy as ever with my Capresso, and haven't regretted the purchase for a moment.Rarely - maybe one in every 50 pots of coffee - I will have the "thin" coffee problem that some other reviewers mentioned. It's always the same issue, though: it's the signal for me to brush out the chute. (the thin coffee comes from not enough grounds making it down into the basket). So since 50 pots of coffee is about 3 weeks-to-a-month in my house, I just occasionally (about every 2 weeks) remove the little plastic cover over the chute and brush it clear. Problem solved, and haven't had "thin coffee plague" since.What a great coffeemaker.

Title: Stay Away
Review: We had owned a Capresso 455 Thermal Carafe Coffeemaker for almost 10 years. The LCD screen died but we continued to use the coffeemaker since we were so pleased with the brew. After tiring of being subject to the default settings since the screen didn't work, we turned to the Capresso 465 Thermal Carafe model as a replacement.Must say how disappointed we are with the entire product, its features, and the Capresso peoples' knowledge of their own product. Displeasure started when we realized the thermal carafe didn't hold the coffee hot enough for the day's second cup. Had to microwave it to regain heat. We had noticed that the bottom of the carafe was considerably hotter than the sides. Maybe its a faulty carafe? Missing insulation on the bottom? Capresso sends us a new carafe but we have the same results: coffee not hot enough, carafe bottom too hot. We then notice that the plate on the coffeemaker where the carafe sits is VERY HOT after brewing. Again we call Capresso. "There is an electrical problem with your coffeemaker" they say. They send out a replacement and guess what, same problem. New agent, a supervisor, states this thermal carafe coffeemaker has a heating element in the base which works only during the brew process! Nowhere in any literature is this stated. Plus the coffee is still NOT HOT ENOUGH for your second cup within 15 minutes.The carafe itself is impossible to drain the last of the cold coffee. Can't get out the wash water without turning it 180 degrees. This is because there is a +1" lip under the top of the carafe. Real poor design.The amount of beans it grinds is excessive for a 6 cup serving and still the strength on the darkest setting is too weak. We believe this is due to the shape of the basket filter having a flat bottom as opposed to a conical shape which would slow the flow and result in a stronger brew.Finally had to decalcify the machine. What a mess! Solution was run through so fast that the carafe was unable to keep up with the flow and it always overflows down to the HEATED base. Recipe for an electrical disaster.Capresso refused to allow us to upgrade to a different model because we had purchased through Amazon. Amazon 30 day return period closed as we had been dealing back and forth with Capresso. In hindsight, it should have been returned immediately.Stay Away.

Review: Excelente molino de café. Si usas los ajustes de intensidad y molido con la cantidad de agua adecuada, te queda una excelente taza de café al gusto. No es muy grande y es de muy buen tamaño comparada a otras cafeteras similares. Algo que me preocupaba porque no tengo mucho espacio. Ojo: la cafetera viene pre-probada para garantizar su funcionamiento, lo cual es algo que me confundió un poco al principio; pero, ya que probé la primera taza de café no me molesto en lo absoluto y me pareció algo positivo.

Review: I’ve had my Capresso for a few weeks now and I really like it. It makes great coffee and I live the built in grinder. The grinder is a bit loud but not for very long and worth it!

Review: Motor broke after 6 months. JURA referred me to Canadian company for repair. Very rude service representative refused to service the machine because it was purchased from Amazon. Repeatedly told me that they don't support products purchased from Amazon and this model was more than 4 years old. They would not honour the warranty.
