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.

 Capresso Ultima - Semi Automatic Beauty |
| Review Date: January 14, 2008 |
| Reviewer: Andy Cherk H. Lau, Seattle, WA USA |
| This machine is a wonderful kitchen appliance. It is so easy to use and the result is always consistent. The pressure steam process is the best way to make high quality coffee drinks at home without paying big dollars and standing in line at a coffee shop. Everyday, we make Coffee Americano (12 oz - 16 oz cup) at home one cup at a time. Each cup takes about a minute or less. The flavor and taste of each cup of coffee sure is a lot better than a cup of coffee from our old drip machine. Cleanup takes about few minutes. Every other few days or so, rinse the top carousel and few other removeable parts. We are very happy with this Capresso machine. |
Great machine, better service from 1st in coffee.

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. |
Amazing at home espresso drinks

| 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. |

I thank my husband everyday for buying this machine for me. It makes the best tasting coffee so easily. At first, I thought he'd spent too much, but I'm actually saving money now by not buying $3.00 coffee drinks at the store. It's an incentive to get up early, just so I can brew my own on this machine.
It heats up quickly, is a snap to clean, and very easy to use. Don't give it a second thought unless you can afford the more expensive, fully automatic version of this machine. |
Excellent product

| 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!!! |
