Well made coffee maker
This is a nice coffee maker! Like a lot of reviewers I’m the only coffee drinker in the house so five cup in the morning is usually enough. I like to grind my beans and pods get expensive so a small pot works best for me. The Capresso is a nice size and fits under the kitchen cabinets. Although the clock and timer work well I don’t use it. The water level step is an interesting design, I seldom make less than a full pot but once in a while I want one more cup and it’s hard to see the lower steps. I do keep it in a darker corner of my counter so the water level and clock are a little harder to read. I’ve been using it daily for about five months now with no complaints. I think the hot plate keeps coffee at the right temperature, doesn’t burn the coffee if you leave it on to long. A little more than I wanted to spend but the quality is there and the cheap ones are just that.Well I guess I spoke to soon. Less than seven months and it died, stopped heating. The clock and timer work but I need coffee! I’m not afraid to take things apart, they all work the same way. I did not find any shorts or fried wires. What I did find was the water level step was getting kind of nasty and due for a good cleaning. I really liked this coffee maker so do I try another one or move on to something else? I’ll have a spare carafe and basket! I didn’t change my rating but yeah, I’m disappointed. Just more landfill.Final update; I did get ahold of customer service after being on hold for over an hour. The problem is I have to ship it to Pennsylvania. UPS shipping calculator came up with about $16.80 for shipping. I get it, they can’t give a coffee maker to anyone willing to be on hold for a hour. I’ve had bad luck with these small coffee makers so I went cheap and bought a SHARDOR for $17.99 + tax. So far it is working just fine!

Great for small family
i’m very pleased with this coffee maker in the past I had a Mr coffee which is also very good easy to use is an automatic timer if you want to set the coffee for the morning. Easy to clean and it comes with its own filter if you don’t want to use paper filters, but I do. Coffee maker looks nice on the counter.

Bought it two years ago, broke, but willing to buy again
I liked this little pot that I bought two years ago and used it about for one year. It died recently which could be due to being transported twice to different locations, placed in storage (it felt neglected?) or lousy manufacturing; I can’t really determine. The programmable settings were my requirement as I want to come downstairs to a hot pot of coffee ready to go at 5am. I also required an autoshut off which this had. Easy to clean, but I never used the basket (but I still appreciate they included it). Coffee was fine, temp was very good, size is compact. Hopefully this one will last longer.

Great little coffee maker
The Capresso 5 cup minidrip (model 426) is the perfect size for me and works flawlessly so far (it arrived two days ago, 7 Dec 2018). The molded text on the bottom of the maker says “model 426” and has the number 4245 as well (without a label).A detail where the physical device and its manual disagree is: the manual says that the removable filter holder snaps into the maker. It doesn’t. Instead, it has loop handles on top and closing the lid forces the basket down. That presses the spring-mounted plunger (which is mounted through the bottom of the filter holder) against the top of the carafe. When the spring is collapsed by the carafe, the plunger is raised so water can flow out the bottom of the filter holder. (The plunger seals the hole at the bottom of the filter holder when the carafe is absent.) The manual calls that plunger the “drip stop”.You can interrupt brewing by pressing the on/off button twice, then restart it by pressing the button once. Independently of that, you can remove the carafe during brewing for a few seconds to pour a cup of coffee. (The manual says you get 30 seconds. I’m guessing that’s based on the water flow rate and the risk of overflowing the filter.) The spring-mounted plunger seals the filter holder once the carafe isn’t there to push it up. The carafe has to be tilted slightly to get under the spring easily when putting the carafe back on the hot plate.The gold mesh filter that comes with it has a solid plastic bottom and some water pools there without draining into the carafe. Most water goes out the sides of the filter as designed, but even without coffee grounds in the basket, water pools on the flat bottom of the filter basket. A filter that has gold mesh on the bottom would be a better design, I think, to ensure as much water as possible gets through the grounds into the carafe. I’ll be switching to paper filters to get more water through (tho’ the paper will absorb some), and for increased ease of handling, especially since the gold filter seems a little fragile.The manual says to use medium coarse ground coffee in the gold mesh filter. It seems to be ok with Folgers 100% Colombian with only a tiny bit of sediment allowed through. A smaller mesh hole size would allow finer grounds to be used. But maybe that would impede the flow-through rate, so maybe the filter would overflow, given the machine’s water flow rate?The manual says to not exceed 8 tablespoons of coffee grounds in the filter.The level in the water reservoir is indicated by a white stair-step piece of plastic. The overflow hole is slightly above the height of the “5” step. To fill the reservoir to its maximum you have to add a little more water while watching the overflow hole. I’d prefer the overflow hole be on one of the sides, rather than the back of the unit. This really only affects you if you use a separate pitcher to fill the reservoir. The carafe has water levels marked, so you can fill the carafe and pour the measured water into the reservoir. So I’ll probably learn to fill it with the carafe.My instant read thermometer says the water is 175 degrees F immediately after brewing. After an hour on the hot plate, it’s 172 degrees.The lid latch is stiff, so it can be hard to open; it lifts the entire unit! However, it’s plastic and slightly flexible. I’ve found that twisting the small handle slightly serves to disengage the latch more easily than just trying to lift the top straight up. Opening it that way is even easier after brewing since the plastic has been warmed by the steam (so is more flexible). By twisting, I mean as tho’ turning a knob on a horizontal axis.The carafe is marked with input (water) amounts and output (coffee) amounts for 2 through 5 “cups”, with the difference between input and output reflecting mostly (I assume) the water retained by the grounds. The carafe holds 27 ounces when filled to the input level for 5 cups, and about 1 ounce less for output. So it’s close to the industry’s standard, which is 5 ounce cups.

I just needed a reliable drip machine for myself. I chose this one because of the reusable basket, but everything else works fantastic. The basket is easy to clean, the machine is easily programmable and easy to operate, the coffee is exactly how I want it and I love that the reservoir has clearly marked levels – the pot also has clear markings WITH additional markings to compensate for water lost during brewing.If you need a little coffee maker that’s easy to use and reliable, I do recommend this one.

I owned this very same coffee machine for 6 years and it was starting to get tired. I felt it’s days were numbered so I started shopping around for a replacement. I considered other brands/coffee makers and after reading reviews I decided to stick with what I know and purchase the same coffee maker again. ThisCapresso is perfect for me! I live alone and drink one very large cup of coffee each morning. The coffee is good and hot. I am looking forward to another 6+ years with my new coffee maker.
