Jura / Capresso MT500 10-Cup Coffee Maker

Pros: excellent coffee, super easy to use, attractive machine!
Cons: none

This is my third thermal carafe coffee maker this year. The Zojirushi I started with died after six weeks. I moved on to a Barista from Starbux that I loathed and returned. After reading many good reviews of this Capresso on epinions and some coffee ...

Pros: Comes with mesh filter, better-than-average quality coffee
Cons: Small capacity, doesn't keep coffee hot for long, price

This coffee maker was purchased with a store refund to replace a Cuisinart DTC-975 12-Cup Coffee Maker that was determined to erupt all over my counter and floor. We have been trying to find a good thermal carafe machine, and I am hoping we have found a ...

Pros: Excellent coffee. Great styling. And a carafe.
Cons: Oh, it's a spendy little number....

So my grind-n-brew died. Finally happened, I can't complain. Actually, I'm not going to miss the early morning aircraft-taking-off noise of the grinder switching on. Or the horrendous beeping of the thing when it was done. Or the fifty dang parts I...

Pros: great coffee, beautiful design, insulated carafe, auto shut off
Cons: carafe smaller than reservoir, a tad expensive

This replaces an 8 year old Krups 12 cup. Purchased from Sur La Table in Scottsdale. I followed the instructions and ran a couple of full pots of water through the machine prior to use. The instructions don't seem to indicate that you should rinse ...

Pros: Consistently flavorful coffee made quickly and kept hot for a long time.
Cons: People that cannot follow instructions or cannot visually discern improperly located equipment may have problems.

This review is being written from the perspective of a person who is not a “Coffee Snob”. I cannot tell you by drinking a cup of coffee, what blend, roast process, grind type, species of bean, or travel from what region of the world that the ...

Pros: Attractive, makes great coffee quickly.
Cons: Some issues with placement, design quirks, expensive.

This machine makes coffee really fast - around seven minutes for a full carafe. The coffee that results from such a fast brew tastes great, with no bitterness. It is also very attractive. The wide, shallow design looks like it was made with poured metal ...

Pros: Best Tasting Coffee
Cons: Price, one piece lid, carafe lid alignment indicator

My wife and I have had our MT500 for about a year now and we both really like it. It makes the best coffee we have ever had at home. We fill it with water and grounds before going to bed. I used the instructions to set the clock and timer the first ...

Pros: attractive. great coffee. Easy to clean and operate. Thermal carafe A+ after several hours.
Cons: More expensive. coffee basket doesn't stand alone. coffee basket next to water reservoir

My wife and I had 10 year old Krups we liked a lot. It made a very good cup of coffee. We needed a new one and bought another Krups, but the new ones have a little plastic catch and spring lever that looks like trouble, will wear or break in time, and we ...

Pros: Beautiful Machine Produces outstandingly flavorable coffee Piping hot coffee in larqe quantity
Cons: Flaws in design Produces lukewarm coffee in small quantities Carafe must be positioned perfectly

My original review followed by an update at the conclusion I love coffee! Unfortunately, for most of my life, I have been drinking brew from the likes of Mr. Coffee. Their machines, and most others in their price range, provide ...

Pros: Insulated carafe. Looks nice.
Cons: Too easily makes a mess. Way too complicated.

I bought this product, despite the high price, because I liked the idea of the insulated carafe as well as the built-in timer. It's also a very good-looking machine that you don't mind sitting out on your counter. Although the coffee is good, it ...

Pros: Easy to use. Coffee is piping hot and tastes wonderful!
Cons: Limited availability in walk in stores.

I have been looking for a machine just like this. I have gone through so many at home coffee machines looking for that "coffee shop" taste to no avail. Even those bought at the "coffee shop" just did not meet the standards I was looking for. After ...

Pros: Nice design features
Cons: Fatal flaws you shouldn't have for the price.

The design is beautiful. Surface is smart and very easy to clean. The water resevoir top is wide making it a snap to refill. The design feature of stainless heating element is nice here in Florida where our mineral content is high and build up can ...

Pros: Best tasting coffee, Looks beautiful on the kitchen counter
Cons: Hard to read water level indicator.

Actually, I don't drink coffee, I just love its smell. I'm quoting my partner, whom I bought the coffee maker for on his birthday. We've had it for a year with no problems. This product brews the coffee in a slightly different manner than...

Pros: Solid and attractive machine with clean lines and professional look.
Cons: Difficult to read water level and add water. Takes lots of grounds for strong coffee.

My husband and I drink quite alot of coffee--and we like it very strong! We grind our own arabica beans--usually ordered from Britt Coffee in Costa Rica, and we prefer the dark roast process.
Unfortunately, although the Capresso MT500 is a very...

Pros: Makes excellent coffee, keeps coffee warm for long enough
Cons: The carafe lid is a hassle to use

This is a good, solid thermal carafe coffee maker that has lasted about 3 years so far. It makes great coffee. The thermal carafe keeps coffee warm enough for long enough for me to enjoy it all morning without the coffee tasting 'old.' Although the ...
