Capresso10 Cup Thermal Carafe

The machine often leaks coffee as it's brewing.

Capresso 10 cup cofeemakeer

This is the worst coffeemaker I have ever owned. The coffee is cold immediately if you use any amount of creamer and the taste is poor even using expensive coffee. The carafe does not keep the coffee hot because coffeemaker turns off immediately after brewing cycle ends. I would have returned this to the store however return policy required return to manufacturer.

poor design

It works, but...the design is not thought through. The unheated pot chills the coffee to lukewarm at best. I heat it by boiling water (and I heat my mug with boiling water), but even then the coffee isn't hot enough. In addition, if the pot isn't perfectly aligned with the release button under the filter, you will have your coffee flow all over your counter and onto the floor. No, not recommended.

not hot at all even if you pre heat the carafe

Does not get very hot. This is my third capresso machine but I haven't bought one in over 10 years and this one doesn't seem very good. I would not recommend. Pretty disappointed in the coffee temperature. I am now microwaving every cup. I did follow the directions to heat the carafe with hot water, which is a pain, still doesn't work, and never had to do that with my old machine that was capresso.

very satisfied

The Heating Plate.

The coffee maker works fine. I just could not find anywhere in the brochure an explation about the heating plate, just a picture with no explanation. I just want to know how long should the heating plate stay on after the coffee is brewed? How hot should it get? I could not get a straight answer from the company rep I talked to last week.

New version of our coffee maker

Great coffee maker, we replaced the same one we had for about 15 years and they made some good improvements. The only downside is that it emits loud beeps when the coffee is done brewing (which cannot be turned off according to the manufacturer).

Not as advertised

This is not a twelve cup coffee maker. Box clearly states 10 cup.
