Poor Quality

byjgelinas3333 Nov 27, 2008
8 Helpfuls 9 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros None really.
Cons Does not often create real espresso.<br>Messy.<br>Breaks down frequently.
Recommended it? No

Getting this machine to make actual espresso is hit and miss.  More often than not you get a watery brown liquid that would barely pass for coffee.  The machine has already been sent back once for 'repair' yet, still the same problems.  The seals go on a regular basis and the liquid ends up where...

I've had the Ultima 121 for almost seven years now
...... and I did have the same experience that Owling describes in her epinion, below. But, my experience occurred after six years of daily use. It seems that the internal workings could no longer sustain the... Read full review »

Pros Easy to clean, great espresso, great froth.
Cons Takes up quite a bit of counter space.
Recommended it? Yes

One can go to the Capresso website http://www.capresso.com/ to see this machine, and go to http://www.capresso.com/Espresso_Machines/Coffee_Ultima_Model_121.htm to read the instruction manual. I had read it a couple of times so that by the time I unwrapped the machine at Christmas I had a pretty... Read full review »

Good but not durable

bydelay_mikeb Feb 20, 2008
5 Helpfuls 6 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Simple, stylish and versatile
Cons unreliable, not durable and very poor customer service
Recommended it? No

In the past 7 years of owning an Ultima, I've had to return mine 6 times for reconditioning. Each time it requires reconditioning they charge a fee of 75.00. The first couple times they waived the reman fee, due to warranty. When working the machine is great, but don't expect it to be your solution... Read full review »

Pros Very fast, uses less coffee and no mess
Cons it is a bit large
Recommended it? Yes

I have to agree with the folks that love their machine. My daughter has had one for 6 years. She also got hers replaced. I decided to bite the bullet and spend the $$. I figured 2 lattes a day I would have it paid for in 6 weeks.
I love the no basket for the coffee to go in. I use to alway get... Read full review »

Pros ease of use and well designed
Cons only available in black
Recommended it? Yes

My current Krupps Nova Expresso Machine had gotten old and I need to replace it. I have been making Cappucino and Latte daily for the past 15+ years. During this time I have owned machines costing from $69 to $500.
The Capresso Ultima is by far the best and most user friendly machine I have... Read full review »

Go for a cheaper Krups machine

5 Helpfuls 6 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros good crema
Cons Price, frothing, cleanup, customer service
Recommended it? No

For several years I got by with an inexpensive Krups machine. I loved making espresso at home and I loved entertaining. When I saw this machine, I thought I had found a good machine. I purchased it from Dillards for $389 about a year ago. I gave my krups to my parents. Both were stupid moves.

Pros Design, crema, ease of use
Cons frothing is average
Recommended it? Yes

I've owned a Krups and a Nespresso and this is by far my favorite. The outstanding design aside, it makes delicious espresso easily. I also like it's versatility with coffee grind. It's not as fussy as other machines about the fineness of the grind. The tamping design is also easy to use. Has a... Read full review »

Pros -Speed, ease of use, good looks.
Cons -Poor quality, bad customer support.
Recommended it? No

While this espresso maker makes decent espresso in a rapid fashion, it does not appear to be durable. The unit I purchased in June of this year has already been replaced once under warranty, and just broke again in an identical fashion this morning.

Capresso's customer service has also... Read full review »
