Review: Capresso C1000 Espresso Machine
Made in Switzerland
One Year Warranty


After six months of harping on mine husband that I wanted a machine that could do it all, from making high quality tasting coffee to a...

Pros: Shape, design, water reservoir with filter, built-in bean grinder/holder, no waiting for coffee to brew.

Cons: PRICE, normal mugs don't fit, high maintenance, oily beans can clog machine, etc.

The Bottom Line: Stick to a nice coffee maker and save the rest for lattes made to order at your favorite cafe and some good 100% Kona or Jamaican Blue Mountain beans! Yum.

Review: I bought the Capresso C1000 from Williams-Sonoma on sale for about $800 + tax. Still expensive but the fact that I know many were purchased at full retail felt really nice. In all honesty, the sale made this machine even more appealing and...

Pros: Instantaneous coffee drinks

Cons: Coffee lukewarm/weak inability to make a strong mug size cup of crema coffee

The Bottom Line: Too much money for the end product. (Lukewarm not so strong coffee drinks). Too many defects in the product in a six month time period.

Review: After purchasing the C1000 through mail order, it arrived dented on the side with the steam/hot water knob broken. Capresso replaced this unit immediately and the representatives were very cooperative. My concern was that the replacement was a...

Pros: Instant espresso, extremely reliable and durable, fast and easy and cheaper than Starbucks!

Cons: None

The Bottom Line: I would recommend this machine for anyone in the market for super-automatic espresso. We love our machine and have had no problems with it at all. Worth every penny!

Review: Remember the days as a kid watching the Jetsons and wishing you had a house or robot maid which could do anything for you? Yeah, it's something like that for coffee.

I won't go on about the merits of this machine...others have done that...

Pros: Convenient, fast, good quality espresso

Cons: Fragile, complex, poor bean grinder, atrocious support

The Bottom Line: Regardless of speed and convenience, its lack of durability and rude customer service gives it a thumbs-down from me.

Review: Amidst all the glowing reviews of the Capresso C1000 that are floating out on the web, here's a voice of reality. Buyer beware!

Unquestionably, the C1000 is a marvelous machine in many ways, as all these reviews will attest, and it's...

Pros: Ease of use, Excellent Coffee Produced

Cons: Terrible Durability, No Manual Cleaning, Uses a lot of Coffee

Review: My wife and I have been avid coffee lovers for years. We really enjoy living in the Seattle area due to the fine coffees so readily available. Our favorite coffee to drink, of course, is fine espresso. We both really enjoy americanos or lattes first...

Pros: Quick, easy? yes/no, great crema, use it ALL the time, looks great

Cons: Humms loudly when plugged in, expensive cleaning tablets, hard to learn useage, noisy, expensive

The Bottom Line: We love it! Quick, easy after you learn it, you'll never look back and use it all the time. Yes, I would get another.

Review: EXPERIENCE/HISTORY
First had a small Phillips steam unit. Didn't learn my lesson and moved up to a small Faema steam unit. Thought it was the cheap $20 grinder so I purchased a Salton feed through grinder. Then became semi-wise and...

Pros: Easy to use after initial learning period. Love it after 2 years.

Cons: Initially expensive to buy (pays for itself over time).

The Bottom Line: It's worth the price

Review: If you drink coffee regularly (we started making lattes, which are easy with this machine), it's worth the expense, compared to the price of a daily trip to Starbucks-- will pay for itself over time. We have had no maintenance problems. Easy to use,...

Pros: Perfect Crema Easy to clean Find it on sale and it is a value

Cons: Owners Manual was a bit complicated

The Bottom Line: If you want the ultimate in a super automatic espresso machine, this is the machine for you, with a great price.

Review: First of all let me start off by saying that when you read a review that is negative it usually (not always) is the result of an impulse or big name buy w/o the consumer doing research.

It is critical when purchasing a machine as complex...

Pros: Espresso fast, great service, will repair policy

Cons: grinder not for Espresso, pricy

The Bottom Line: I would buy from Capresso just a difrent unit.I hit it hard on the rateings but for the money I expect it to work end of sentence.

Review: I have had mine for three years now and it time to write a review. This is a Jura manufactured but branded Capresso and am I glad I bought the Capresso the support is great their repair time is great. I don t even use the grinder it will not grind...
