Product Description
Capresso.01 Ultima Semi-automatic Coffee Maker and Espresso Cappuccino Machine - Capresso 121 |
Amazon.com Review
By eliminating the usual fuss and mess, this 1,200-watt machine makes it easy to brew espresso and make cappuccinos and lattes at home or in the office. It's semiautomatic because all that's required is to fill the water tank, place ground coffee into a receptacle, and pull a lever. Within seconds coffee flows from the double spout, which adjusts for different cup heights, into one or two cups. No tamping is required because the machine tamps the coffee precisely and automatically. Nor is it necessary to clean used coffee grounds out of a messy filter holder, because there is no filter holder, and the machine automatically discards grounds into a waste tray. The tray also catches overflows, and a light shows when it needs emptying. For steaming and frothing milk to make cappuccinos, lattes, and hot chocolates and for delivering hot water for tea, there's a wand that rotates out to fit inside a pitcher or cup. The coffee receptacle accepts 7 to 15 grams (one or two fillings of the included scoop), and the powerful pump supplies enough hot water each time to fill cups from 1-1/2 ounces to 12 ounces, which means it will make a big mug of regular coffee as well as an espresso. The 53-ounce water tank is transparent for water-level monitoring. Water heats quickly thanks to the 1,200-watt heating coil, and a thermostat light shows when the water is hottest. The machine has internal storage for the power cord and comes with clear instructions, drink recipes, and a one-year warranty against defects. --Fred Brack |

Summary: Good espresso, when it works
Sorry I can't say anything good about this machine, except that when it works, the cappuccino is very good. I have had the capresso ultimate for about 4 months and I am junking it today.
Based on the good reviews at this site, I bought this machine. Half the time, I get a weak slurry that I have toss down the drain. Today, after 4 attempts of expensive grind, all I got was dirty-water looking stuff. I am ready to purchase another reliable, attractive Starbucks machine (this will be my third after 20 years of espresso drinking) and get this bean-wasting counter-hogging ugly clunker out of my kitchen!
I would only buy this in a store where I could easily return it if needed. |

Summary: GREAT customer service
Have had this machine for over two years and did experience the o-ring problem mentioned in other reviews (torn). Called customer service number in the booklet provided--a human answered, said they were sorry we had a problem and sent us two new rings which we got in two days at no charge. Customer service alone would make me buy this again, as well as other Capresso products. On top of this, it makes THE BEST coffee ever and is extremely user friendly and easy to clean. |

Summary: Great cappuccino machine for home
If you want a no-fail cappuccino machine - this is the machine for you. You won't get the richest coffee and the frothiest milk (although you can get pretty close) but you are going to get rid of the hassle which is more important in a machine used over and over throughout the day for you and all your family members + guests.
Be careful not to fill up the machine with too much coffee, or it will be brewed straight into the bin... We've wasted a lot of coffee this way...
Make sure you buy a milk pitcher along with the machine. It will come in handy. Rattleware 12-Ounce Latte Art Pitcher
Altogether it's a great machine, easy to use and more importantly - EASY TO MAINTAIN. I'll recommend it to my friends... |

Summary: Love this machine
I bought this machine about 6 months ago and love it. Yes, it is a bit quirky to get used to, but once you get used to the system, it works great.
The expresso has perfect crema, and is quick to do the shots. My only real pet peeve is that it sometimes does not froth milk hot enough.
Otherwise, I would recommend this machine to anyone wanting great expresso. |

Summary: Wonderful machine for home use
This is a great espresso machine. My wife and I have used it for 2 years without any problems. The machine works just as advertised, and it is simple to use. Cleaning the machine is also easy.
My only word of caution is about the machine's ability to rapidly produce lots of steamed milk. For two mochas, the machine can steam milk from the fridge up to about 120 degrees, but then the steam runs out and the machine needs a minute to steam again. I've found that by steaming the milk first, then making the espresso shots, the machine is ready to steam again and will get the milk easily to 160 (when I stop because that's where I like it). So if you're planning on making lots of drinks at once, you might need a machine that is more powerful, but for two coffee drinkers, this one has been great. |
