 Cool design, poor function, makes you go OOOO July 1, 2008
It looked cool; that's why I bought it. I should have known, since some great Amazon writer/reviewers said the thing was problematic.
The design is about 40% wider than it needs to be, first off. But the biggest flaw is trying to seat the coffee pot into the lip to catch the drip. It wasn't uncommon for the pot to unseat itself, 1/2 cup into brewing, and just stop. The brewing is really slow, which makes for rich coffee, but the pot also fills full of grounds. I've tried both the gold filter and paper ones, same problem.
After using this for 2 weeks, I am packing it up and sending it back.
 Too much whining May 15, 2008
This product overall is a great coffee maker. Yes, its bigger; did anyone stop to think that to make hotter coffee, which is the Capresso advantage, (and why I would think most people would consider it in the first instance) the thing requires a bigger and more robust pump? Duh. And, the real problem with this is simply the handle to the filter basket; put it the wrong way and close the lid, you are asking for trouble. Solution? Remove the handle, you do not need it.
This baby makes hot coffee, and keeps it hot. Dribbles? Well, then don't go with a carafe model. Too lazy to cooperate with the design, then get one of their other models.
All in all, a great step forward in coffee makers. And at this close out price, a bloody bargain.
Love it! May 1, 2008
Well so far I love this coffee maker and you can't beat the price! I would have given it 5 stars but when we recieved it the handle for the gold tone filter was broken. Doesn't affect the coffee at all!
 All coffee makers have quirks April 30, 2008
I recently purchased the Capresso ST-600 and have to say I am so glad I did. The high brew temperature and accurate spray mechanism really produces a great cup of coffee. I have owned Cuisanart and Kithenaid both broke within a year and the coffee would seem to get cold very quickly. The stainless steel carafe on the Capresso keeps coffee really hot for hours with zero loss of flavor. Yes it has a few quirks like having to remove the carafe slowly so it won't drip but we are talking a few seconds more of your life. If I had a request to improve the unit it would be to add a lighted water meter you could read the water level better but other than that for the price you can't get a better high end maker producing a better cup of hot coffee.
Capresso makes another good machine April 29, 2008
This has been in my kitchen only a few weeks but I think this is a winner.
This machine is very simple to operate and does everything i want it to do. I have not had the problems noted in some other reviews, everything works well. It is larger than really necessary but the dimensions are in the ad and looks are subjective. I like it.
