Summary: Capresso Coffee Maker 2008-08-12
Comment: Capresso 454 CoffeeTEAM-S Coffee Maker/Burr Grinder Combination: We bought one of these before and it took ten years of constant use (and abuse) before it finally conked out. Then we tried a Mr. Coffee, lasted about a week. Then a Cuisinart, lasted about a month. Then we did what we should have done in the first place and bought a new Capresso from Amazon.com. No problem at all and brews a great cup of coffee. Well worth the money.

Summary: Could be better 2008-08-10
Comment: I have had this coffee maker for almost three years. I love the consistency of the coffee; the low temp is also not a problem since I drink the coffee black.
However, the digital readout has slowly stopped working. First it was just a few parts of it and I could still read the numbers enough to program time for coffee. Then those burnt out and I couldn't program it but could still make a pot on demand. Now the entire readout is gone and it is unusable.

Summary: Breaks easily 2008-07-16
Comment: Worked okay for 1 year. Like others, not hot enough. Grinder broke then machine stopped working. Lot of money for only 1 year use.

Summary: More than a little disappointed 2008-07-03
Comment: For about 5 years I owned a Krups dual (coffee and espresso) and after frequent use it finally passed way. Friends who owned a coffee bar in Oregon recommended a Capresso for my espresso needs, and I figured that if that machine was great, that the coffee maker shouldn't be bad, so I took their usually sound advice.
The machine arrived quickly and after unpacking it I found the first sign of a problem-the drip spout wasn't attached to the filter holder. I called Capresso and they quickly and cordially sent out two free of charge. Two weeks into using the machine, I found that the goldtone filter had pulled away from its plastic housing. The bulk of the machine is plastic and even though it looks good, it feels flimsy. Called Capresso again and they wanted to charge me $17 for this piece; told them it was two weeks old and that it should last longer so they are sending another one free-haven't received it yet.
In other reviews I read that the water heater and heating element didn't work well-just assumed that these people like their coffee really hot. Wrong! The water comes out at 175-180 degrees and the heating element doesn't work well at all. Thank heavens for a microwave.
I'll save the good parts for last. It does make decent coffee because the beans are ground just prior to brewing, and it's an easy machine to use and clean. Much easier to clean than the Cuisinart a friend has.
Yes, I'm disappointed that I spent $199 for this and am not happy yet, and probably never will be. When it goes to coffee maker heaven, I'll look for something without a Capresso label. Ditto for my espresso maker which I'll buy in a couple of months.

Summary: Don't waste your money 2008-06-20
Comment: I received this coffee maker as a gift from my wife. It is a nice looking machine, and although the coffee isn't very hot and the brew time takes longer than it should, we enjoyed it.
Just after the first year we had this machine, half of the LCD display stopped working. We had to pay to send it in for repair, as it was no longer under warranty and Capresso didn't consider it a defective part.
We got the machine back finally and the LCD display was white as opposed to black, not as originally sold. They must have run out of black LCD parts from fixing the other 'non-defective' machines.
Then, less than a year later the machine broke again, this time not moving the water from the reservoir into the filter basket. Another call to Capresso and it's almost 100.00 this time to return it.
We spent 200.00 for this coffee maker initially, then 80.00 for the first repair and shipping, and they wanted an additional 100.00 to repair it again.
We expected to have a reliable coffee maker for the price. We're disappointed and decided to purchase a Cruisinart instead of sinking money into this obviously sub-standard machine.
Don't waste your money on Capresso coffee makers.
