Capresso 440.05 MT-500 10-Cup Electronic Coffeemaker with Thermal Carafe
 | Average Customer Rating: Recommend To achieve a spectacular cup of coffee there are essential steps that need to be taken. The water must be free of chlorine taste (hence the charcoal filter), the machine must be able to brew larger or smaller amounts successfully (this one "knows" to disperse hot water more slowly when the coffee ground amount is less). The coffee must be very hot (right around 192 Degrees F, like the brew from the MT500), and… Product details and pricing info |

- Great coffeemaker
- This is a fine coffeemaker with not a whole lot of bells and whistles. Makes a decent cup of coffee. The carafe keeps coffee hot and fresh. It is a bit on the flimsy side. All in all a good if not a bit too expensive coffeemaker.

- Well worth the $
- Having tried a few other carafe type coffee makers, we've finally found one that meets our expecatations. Coffee is HOT for well over an hour, even if brewed into a cold carafe. Carafe pours well also.

- Capresso 440 Coffee Maker is the Best
- I reviewed this coffee maker before but for some reason Amazon sent another review request. Well if you want great tasting and hot coffee this ones for you. You don't need the grinder as part of the coffee maker just get a separate grinder. Use filtered water and fresh ground beans and the Capresso will do the rest. I purchased a refurbish unit, could not tell the difference from new, best buy ever.

- Just what I was looking for
- This drip coffee maker was exactly what I was looking for. I received my order 2 weeks ago and with the right beans (and Capresso's conical burr grinder) I have been drinking wonderfully brewed coffee every morning since.
It is now ~4 hours after my first brew this morning and the coffee I just poured out of the carafe is still steaming hot. I also like that the carafe is not hot to the touch, so I can bring it with me to my home office and just pour out one hot cup of coffee at a time.
I have had no spills and everything has worked just as described. The only less-than-perfect item so far is it is messy to clean the grinds out of the reusable filter. But this is the price one pays when using a reusable filter instead of a paper filter. The bonus is that the coffee grinds are a great addition to my compost pile.
I highly recommend this product. - 2008-04-19, 1 of 1 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- Hot its not
- I did everything I could to get this coffee maker to make hot coffee. I ran the thermos under hot water and filled it with hot water before I brewed my coffee but the coffee was not hot. By hot I mean it was readily drinkable. I even heated up my coffee mug. The coffee in my old Krups is hotter. I did not notice any difference in the taste between the Krups and the Capressa and I was using $12 a pound coffee.
