The Capresso Espresso Classic makes a great espresso, with the mellow flavor and beautiful crema that one might expect from a neighborhood cafe. Its continuous-steam design means it holds the steam in a reservoir, ready for running espresso shots or frothing or steaming milk for cappuccinos, lattes, or hot cocoa. The rounded black body with stainless steel accents looks great on a kitchen counter. With a 1200-watt mechanism, this espresso machine combines power with good design. Two toggle switches on top of the machine set the machine to on/off and steam/hot water. A red light indicates the machine is on; an orange thermostat light tells when it's heated up and ready to go. And the selector knob on the front of the machine has settings for brew, steam, and hot water for tea or just for warming up cups for espresso. The Espresso Classic comes with a full complement of accoutrements. A 40-ounce removable water reservoir has a filter and self-sealing valve; there's a handle to make it easier to lower it into place. The self-locking filter arm comes with three sieves; one for single-shot pulls, one for doubles, and one specially designed for Capresso coffee pods. The drip tray with grid insert can be easily removed for rinsing. And there's a handy measuring scoop that does double duty; it has a tamper at the other end for pressing down the ground coffee. The machine measures 10-1/4 by 11 by 12-1/2 inches; while in use, the filter handle extends an additional 5 inches. Capresso espresso machines come with a detailed instruction booklet and a year's guarantee, during which customers are offered free troubleshooting via telephone and free repair or replacement in cases of malfunction. --Garland Withers

this product cam poorly packaged from Amazon. because of this the machine came with many broken parts including the pump.

Nice looking machine, easy to see the wate in the tank. We tried several types of espresso and they all came out weak tasting compared to our old machine. This machine doesn't have as much pressure as others.
 The only espresso machine you will ever need August 9, 2007

I bought this after lots of research prompted by the untilemly demise of my Krups cappuccino machine. After receiving it, I immediately read the manual (yes, I actually READ the manual before doing anything else), set it up, filled the water tank, and gave it a test run. I purchased some Illy espresso pods with it so I could give it a test with some real Italian espresso, also I was new to pods. The machine is very user friendly, heats up quickly, and gave me my first cup of espresso in well under a minute. I've used pods as well as fresh ground espresso and coffee and have had no trouble. I've ground beans using a few different courseness settings and have had no problem making the espresso or crema coffee. I was trying to see which grind worked better and which to not use, but I found that using fine, medium, and course all worked well. There was a lot more dust when using fine, though. The dual froth system works very well, giving you excellent flexibility in your choice of drinks to make. Cleaning is a snap, also. I tend to take out the steam nozzle and clean the pipe thoroughly after every milk steaming and it takes hardly any time. The ability of continuous use makes this machine top notch for company and gatherings as I can keep the cappuccino flowing, giving guests the choice of steamed or steamed with froth, without slowing me down. Note - I use distilled water when making drinks so no scale will build up in the machine. If you need a great machine that you won't have to worry about - BUY THIS MACHINE!

Paul E. Kalisch (Aurora, CO USA)
I have had this machine for about 2 years. I quit using it for a long time because it is almost impossible to get the right grind. The coffee just drips one drip at a time. I have tried my own burr grinder and had 3 coffee shops grind it from a #5 settin to a #8 and nothng works.
I started using it again and I found that it will work it I use factory ground Starbucks, but I can't find decaff pre ground. I just ordered a different brand machine and I will junk this one.
It has never worked right. I have spent hours experimenting and calling the factory. The want $60 to check it out, but I will put that toward a different machine.
