Product Description
Lots of style and grand technology have been added to European style coffeemakers. But what about those of us who enjoy a great cup of (what Europeans call) American coffee? The Capresso MT-500-Plus coffee maker celebrates the glory and taste of American coffee with this precise and stylish drip coffee maker. The MT500 Plus Coffee Maker is constructed from high-gloss aluminum alloy, which is specially designed to hide dirty fingerprints and sustain its shiny luster. This coffee machine comes with a 10-cup stainless steel insulated thermal carafe, which keeps coffee warm for several hours. It also features a smooth touchpad control panel, a digital clock/timer that lets you preprogram your desired brewing time, a charcoal water filter to remove chlorine and impurities (LED indicator lights when it's time to change filter) , auto shut-off and a wonderful pause-to-serve function so that you can grab a cup of coffee mid-brew! In addition, there's a permanent gold-tone filter that is easy to clean and convenient cord storage. You enjoy coffee and it's time for American coffee to ascend to the grade of serious pleasure. It's in the brew and the MT500-Plus brews delicious coffee. And you deserve the best! Drip stop allows you to pour a cup while brewing. Charcoal water filter removes up to 83% chlorine. Electronic filter indicator shows when to replace the charcoal filter. 24-hour programmable clock/timer with easy to read LED display. Special settings maintains aroma when brewing only 3-5 cups. Permanent GoldTone filter is easy to use and easy to clean. Safety auto shut-off after brewing. Water level indicator makes filling the right amount of water easy. Concealed cord storage lets you extend just the amount of cord you need.
Amazon.com Review
Employing a stainless-steel vacuum carafe instead of a warming plate, this coffeemaker brews up to 10 cups in under eight minutes for maximum flavor and aroma, and the carafe then keeps the coffee hot for several hours. The carafe prevents coffee from turning bitter, as it can when sitting on a warming plate, and doesn't have to remain with the machine for coffee to stay hot. The machine also offers a setting for brewing three to five cups without diluting the flavor or aroma. The unit's charcoal water filter removes up to 83 percent of the chlorine in tap water, and its electronic indicator shows when the water filter needs replacing. To reduce calcification, Capresso's stainless-steel ThermoBlock system prevents water from contacting aluminum inside the machine. For added convenience, the coffeemaker's digital, programmable, 24-hour clock/timer makes it possible to have coffee ready in the morning, while its brew-pause function allows for pouring a cup midbrew. Other useful features include a handy side panel with easy-access soft-touch controls, an illuminated LED display, a drip-free spout, a permanent Gold Tone filter, automatic shutoff after brewing, an external water-level indicator, and concealed cord storage. Made of high-gloss aluminum alloy with black, plastic accents, the coffeemaker measures 9-3/4 by 10 by 13-3/4 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty against defects. --Fred Brack

 Capresso is fantastic June 27, 2008
This is a great coffee maker. I was looking for a carafe coffee maker after our cuisinart coffee pot broke. The Capresso makes excellent coffee, is really well designed with a simple screw on lid for the carafe and makes coffee so fast it is crazy. I also happen to love the design - not that I really care what it looks like if it makes good coffee, but you get your cake and eat it too with this coffee maker. Highly recommend if you want to pay a bit more for a coffee maker. Bottom line if you drink coffee every day and in particular throughout the day (as the carafe keeps the coffee hot for hours) then this is a great choice.
Awesome machine! June 25, 2008
I love everything about this coffee maker! It looks great and it makes a great cup of coffee. I have not a had a single complaint about it so far.
An Excellent Product June 12, 2008
What else is there to say... it brews a fine cup of coffee and keeps it hot and fresh for hours. No more burned coffee after 45 minutes!
 Use a tray to save the day! May 23, 2008
This is a great looking coffeemaker that is worth its "premium" price. I think it makes the best tasting coffee I have ever had! I use a measured 1/3 cup drip grind Vienna roast from Coffee Fool (www.coffeefool.com) to make a pot, so I am starting with sweet, flavorful grounds. I use bottled spring water, too, and a brown paper #4 filter instead of the basket that comes with it.
Of course, the pot overflows coffee unless you are VERY careful. If you put in a drop too much water, if the pot cover hasn't been shaken to guarantee the ball is loose, and if you haven't checked to make sure the pot and brewing basket are lined up perfectly, you WILL have coffee all over the counter. I use a rimmed tray under the pot because even as careful as I am, I still have overflow problems. At least the tray confines the spill, keeps it from running off the counter into the drawers below, and makes cleaning up much easier.
This would be a six star product on a five star scale without the overflow problem, and I considered giving it a three, but decided even with the spill problem it is worth a four.
thanks amazon reviewers March 31, 2008
[ASIN:B000063XHI Capresso 440.05 MT-500 10-Cup Electronic Coffeemaker with Thermal Carafe]]
When I needed to replace my Krups electric coffeemaker, the model I wanted was no longer available. After much searching on Amazon, I decided to purchase the Capresso machine.
I'd never heard of this brand, but it had the stainless carafe that I like, and other features I'm used to, and after reading all the reviews from Amazon customers,I felt comfortable about trying this brand.
Once again, Amazon customers haven't let me down. The coffeemaker is good looking, works well, and makes great coffee. I'm used to the thermal carafe, so have no problem with opening and closing the top, or overflow.
My ONLY wish is that it was a 12 cup pot, but it brews so fast that I just make a second pot.
Thanks Amazon.
