Product Description
Capresso "Ultima" eliminates all the inconvienent and sometimes difficult steps of conventional espresso machines: no more complications with filling, cleaning and rinsing baskets, tamping and hot filter holders. Just fill in pre-ground coffee to your liking (7 to 15 grams), pull the coffee lever down and turn the pump on. Within seconds the Capresso "Ultima" brews any size cup from one espresso to two six ounce cups of coffee always with wonderful crema on top. The double coffee spout even adjusts to accommodate different size cups.

Love it July 19, 2010
M. Johnson
I upgraded from a basic Krups Espresso machine to this one. I am very happy with it. It's simple to use and it's good every time. Its frother is once again, simple and efficient. Within about 2 minutes from plugging it in, making the espresso and frothing my milk, I'm done. I can't be more pleased. The only thing I would like different is that the machine came in silver or a metal shell but that just aesthetics.
 Great Espresso but a little messy March 22, 2010

This machine makes great espresso drinks. The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is because it is quite messy. I would have figured all of the extra steps of spinning the carousel and dumping grounds into an internal collection bin was meant to make it a simpler clean-up but all it does is create more of an opportunity to get coffee grounds all over the place (including inside the internal and moving components of the machine. That said, if you are willing to put up with the regular messy clean-up and a few extra brewing steps, it makes a really great brew: from espresso and cappuccino to coffee and even hot chocolate and tea. And allows you to be lazy by postponing the coffee ground disposal.
Excellent product February 28, 2010

Ease to use after studying the detailed instructions a bit. Every cup of coffee tastes fresh and is perfectly hot. I feel like I waste a lot less coffee, because you make it as you go versus brewing a full pot of coffee and dumping half of it down the drain because it is cold or old. The machine is easy to clean. I clean all the removable parts about once a week. On the downside, it is a little bulky for my small countertop. Also, I wish it had an indicator for low water level beside the fact that coffee no longer fills your cup. Not a big deal though. Otherwise, excellent product!!!
Amazing at home espresso drinks December 27, 2009

Be sure to watch the 10 minute dvd about the machine as soon as you unpack it. Follow the start up directions and don't try to just "figure it out by winging it". The DVD is very helpful to understand the process of using this coffee/espresso maker and its parts. My two favorite parts are the disposal bin for the used grounds (no more filters!) and the frothing wand. The heat is fantastic with both the water output and the steam/frother. My only complaint is that while the espresso dispenser is adjustable to accommodate taller cups, it does not accommodate a travel mug size. So if my husband wants a full 16 ounce travel mug, he has to brew 2 8 oz small mugs then pour the coffee into his mug. The maximum amount of grounds you can brew are two scoops (the scoop is provided for you) which is two servings. If we have company, though, it is not a hassle to reload with two more scoops to brew more espresso and the frother is ready to use again in only 90 seconds. Essentially for the price, this machine produces a great cup of espresso and frothy milk or coffee which makes this a great multitasking machine that still fits (with clearance) under your cabinets. I am glad we got this instead of a tassimo or keurig. We don't have to worry about buying the pods or k-cups and all the plastic waste from the cups.
Great machine, better service from 1st in coffee. May 7, 2009

I purchased this as a refurbished machine. When I set it up and used it a few times I found It to have a water leak. I e-mailed the vendor and he immediately sent out a replacement and arranged a UPS pickup for the defective unit. I contacted the vendor on a Monday, the old machine was picked up on Tuesday and the new machine arrived on Thursday. In other words, this vendor shipped a replacement before he had received my return. Wow!!! I couldn't ask for better service than that.
The replacement machine works perfectly, makes delicious espresso and is a great and easy to work with semi-automatic coffee maker. I replaced a standard style espresso machine with this and I could not be happier with my choice.
