Capresso.01 Ultima Semi-automatic Coffee Maker and Espresso Cappuccino Machine – Capresso 121Amazon.com Review
By eliminating the usual fuss and mess, this 1,200-watt machine makes it easy to brew espresso and make cappuccinos and lattes at home or in the office. It’s semiautomatic because all that’s required is to fill the water tank, place ground coffee into a receptacle, and pull a lever. Within seconds coffee flows from the double spout, which adjusts for different cup heights, into one or two cups. No tamping is required because the machine tamps the coffee precisely and automatically. Nor is it necessary to clean used coffee grounds out of a messy filter holder, because there is no filter holder, and the machine automatically discards grounds into a waste tray. The tray also catches overflows, and a light shows when it needs emptying. For steaming and frothing milk to make cappuccinos, lattes, and hot chocolates and for delivering hot water… More >>
Capresso 121.01 Ultima Semi-Automatic Coffee and Espresso/Cappuccino Machine
After only one month the machine gets clogged and overflows.
They blame it on the coffee grind (too fine)and of course us not being able to lock it down properly etc.
Fact is that for $300.00 it works little better than my old $29.99 machine. It does have more features but they only cause more problems. I have wasted more coffee trying to get this thing to work right that I could have bought another machine.
Have Fun !
Our machine produced a lukewarm (116 degree) espresso. The manufacturer’s service attempt was unsuccessful. A subsequent replacement from the manufacturer produced lukewarm espresso as well. Its just not right. Maybe they are trying to avoid being sued for producing espresso too hot?
I bought this machine thinking it would save the time and mess of measuring, tamping and getting coffee grounds everywhere. It does that, but it broke after only 2 months and I had to return it. It feels cheap, it looks cheap and is poorly made for a product at this price level. BOTTOM LINE: Good espresso takes time and just go out and buy a good machine (w/ minimum 15 bar pump)…
I had to return this machine, unfortunately. It was disappointing that clogged after every brew, and you had to take the machine totally apart and clean it. Also, the grind of the espresso had to be very course or else it would not go through the filter.
FASTER AND LESS WASTE THAN A WHOLE POT – BETTER TASTING TOO. IF I COULD I’D GET ONE FOR ALL MY FRIENDS.
