- Great java
This system delivers much better tasting coffee than my Cuisinart ever did. It is easy to use; much, much easier to clean. I do wish the coffee was a bit hotter, but I just heat up the milk before I add the coffee. I have not had any spillage problems with water or grounds. Do be forewarned that you should not use flavored beans, especially the powdered ones as it will gum up the works, and that the spout on the carafe is quite shallow and you could spill coffee if you pour too fast. Overall I am delighted with my new coffee maker.

- Capresso Coffee Maker
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.

- Could be better
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.

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

- More than a little disappointed
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 ... Read More
