Product Description
Includes Capresso 10-Cup MT500 Electronic Coffeemaker With Alloy Body And Stainless Steel Carafe GoldTone Filter Charcoal Filter.
Amazon.com Review
Employing a stainless-steel vacuum carafe instead of a warming plate, this coffeemaker brews up to 10 cups in under eight minutes for maximum flavor and aroma, and the carafe then keeps the coffee hot for several hours. The carafe prevents coffee from turning bitter, as it can when sitting on a warming plate, and doesn't have to remain with the machine for coffee to stay hot. The machine also offers a setting for brewing three to five cups without diluting the flavor or aroma. The unit's charcoal water filter removes up to 83 percent of the chlorine in tap water, and its electronic indicator shows when the water filter needs replacing. To reduce calcification, Capresso's stainless-steel ThermoBlock system prevents water from contacting aluminum inside the machine. For added convenience, the coffeemaker's digital, programmable, 24-hour clock/timer makes it possible to have coffee ready in the morning, while its brew-pause function allows for pouring a cup midbrew. Other useful features include a handy side panel with easy-access soft-touch controls, an illuminated LED display, a drip-free spout, a permanent Gold Tone filter, automatic shutoff after brewing, an external water-level indicator, and concealed cord storage. Made of high-gloss aluminum alloy with black, plastic accents, the coffeemaker measures 9-3/4 by 10 by 13-3/4 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty against defects. --Fred Brack

 disappointed February 2, 2010
thirty something trying to defy gravity (San Antonio, TX)
After about 6 months of use, this coffee maker quit. I've had Cuisinart grind and brews in the past and didn't want to deal with the messy grounds and cleaning. The Capresso worked great and made a decent cup of coffee for a couple of months, then started slowing down and not brewing all of the water in the water tank. Cleaned it, it worked well again for a couple of months then finally quit. Also, inevitablly whenever the carafe was removed to pour coffee, several remaining drops from the basket would drip on the base. I never had any problems with pouring or temperature as others have reported. I was hoping this coffee maker would last at least 5 years. My husband threw away the box, so I don't have any warrranty info. Any suggestions?
 An excellent coffee maker January 17, 2010
L. Lange (Ventura, CA)
This coffee maker has been excellent. Delivers really hot, delicious coffee in just a few minutes, even with the gold filter (I usually prefer paper filters). Coffee stays hot for over an hour, and you can take the carafe anywhere. I've been pleasantly surprised, because I got a great deal at Peet's on it ($35). Would gladly have paid twice as much. One small complaint is that the cup markers are hard to read without my glasses.
 Disappointing Coffee Quality January 9, 2010
marlowe5001 (Oakland)
The coffee quality is mediocre at best, with a consistently off-taste. I don't know if it's temperature issue or a flow issue, but I get much better tasting coffee from a drip cone. Also, the thermal carafe does a poor job keeping coffee warm. It's barely lukewarm just an hour later. Otherwise, a good looking machine and the timer works fine. None of the overflow problems mentioned by others (except when I've forgotten to put the carafe in place, and that's pure user error). Still, I would absolutely NOT recommend this machine given the very poor coffee quality/price ratio.
Great coffee maker! December 13, 2009

I've owned the Capresso MT 500 for over 2 years now with daily use making at least 2 pots each day. My understanding is the Capresso is stainless steel lined so your water isn't in contact with aluminum in the heating/brewing process ever. It heats the water hotter than other coffeemakers we've owned and stainless steel thermal carafe does a decent job of keeping coffee hot enough. If it retained the amount of heat in the carafe a bit better this would be a 5. Fresh off the brewing gives you a great hot cup of coffee and it's important to me that there's no possibility of aluminum leaching anywhere into my coffee.
It has also lasted longer than any of our previous machines. The timer is easy to use although a bit on the small side. We like this product so much that we purchased a spare recently in the event it breaks although it shows no sign of it. Another plus is cleaning the system is rarely necessary and my product has a spot for a water filter.
Great product, coffee could be hotter November 22, 2009

This is our second Capresso. Very nice and does not overflow if the filter holder and gold filter are placed correctly in the top. Also the metal pot should be closed and placed properly under the spout. The only little critique is that the coffee could be a little hotter.
