Well, so much for that idea...

Pros Cool features; looks great on your counter
Cons Espresso? What espresso?
Recommended it? No

I handle stress in some not-so-great ways. Still, better that I go out and buy a $299 espresso machine that I don't need than go out and run somebody over or something. So I can't complain too much. In this case, however, my money-spending habit didn't make me feel any better.

So there I... Read full review »

Cons other than a bit "plastic-ee"... NONE, so far
Recommended it? Yes

This is the coolest thing I've ever bought... er.. you get the idea. The first weekend I had it, I had a dinner party of 8. I rapid fired cappuccino ALL AFTERNOON! It performed flawlessly and consistently. I had cause to call Capresso™ customer service and was helped quickly, professionally and... Read full review »

Pros Easy to use, good quality espresso if your carefull, reasonable price.
Cons None that I can think of considering the cost.
Recommended it? Yes

No, this is not the finest espresso machine out there but it is better than the negative reviews imply. If you have a good burr grinder, good quality coffee (I now roast my own)and get the grind right and control the extraction, the results can be impressive. Remember you can make bad espresso even...

Pros Great espresso FAST, good froth OR steam
Cons large machine, a little expensive.
Recommended it? Yes

I had been researching espresso machines for some time because I wanted to update my Krups gusto steam powered machine. I make a lot of espresso during the day ? usually twice for me and once for my wife. More if we have company! So I wanted something that was easy to use and fast. The... Read full review »

Pros Very clean pump brewerExtremely durableStandard frother
Cons Frother confusing, runs outpressure latch can slipstill some messiness inside
Recommended it? Yes

Can't even remember when we bought this.  I think it was 2004.  We love cappuccino except the grounds are terribly messy in the traditional 'bucket'-like espresso makers we had used.  Every time you brew, you have to get the grounds out but the bucket is sizzling.  You rinse the bucket and clog the...

Hello.

Christmas (Eve) finally arrived and I finally got to tear away the wrapping around my new Capresso Ultima. I was so excited I was dreaming about making espresso drinks with it Christmas morning.

I don't know what all the fuss is about... maybe I haven't had it long... Read full review »

Cons Maybe a built in water filter.
Recommended it? Yes

Hello from the true coffee capital of America(Anchorage,Alaska), I received another machine as a gift and promptly returned it and ordered this one as a replacement. I new nothing about this machine except that it was the same price. I had my eye on a Breville or a super-auto but after talking to a... Read full review »

Too much plastic

Pros simple reloading for quick espresso
Cons no automatic shut off
Recommended it? No

I tested this Ultima machine for two days, made approximately 20 espresso cups which were not bad.

But I have to take it back. The major con - there is no flow control, and if anything distracts you from watching the coffee dripping in the cup - it'll just keep pumping, and pumping, and... Read full review »

Pros Quick, easy way to make delicious espresso
Cons A little bulky, cheap looking
Recommended it? Yes

There are lots of attractive coffeemakers that one can get for around $300 and some have nice metallic bodies that really look impressive on your countertop. The Capresso Ultima Espresso Machine 121, doesn't appear all that great. It looks and feels cheap. Where this model excels is in making a... Read full review »

Pros Can not think of any!
Cons Too many parts to clean.
Recommended it? No


Since its debut in William Sonoma in Spring of 1999, I thought I wanted a Capresso Ultima espresso maker real bad. During the demo by one of their employees, the machine looked stylish enough and made a decent cup of espresso. I thought I'd wait couple of months to see if the prices go down... Read full review »
