Summary: "THE VERY BEST IN IT'S CLASS" and much cheaper!
Comment: Capresso Ultima Semi-Automatic machine -- "WORKS" AND "WORKS"............... I don't know if you noticed how quality has drastically changed (for the bad) over the last 10-15 years with EVERYTHING YOU BUY. This machine was very well thought out for basically anyone to use, HANDS DOWN... One of the greatest assets is the fact of being so SIMPLE to clean...
**** FOR ME THOUGH, I CAN MAKE A NICE SIZE CUP OF CAPPUCCINO FASTER THAN MAKING REGULAR AUTOMATIC COFFEE *************

Summary: quick to use, easy to clean
Comment: I got it 3 week ago, and am very happy with it. It makes good espresso.
I took my time to read the instruction, which was very clear and nicely illustrated. This is helpful.
It's very fast, I turn on the power to heat the water while I grind the beans. When I'm done grinding, the water is heated and ready, I just pour the ground coffee into the machine, turn, press down, and hit a switch, and a few seconds later I get my espresso. Another turn and the used coffee grounds are dumped, and it's ready for the next used. It literally takes less than a minute to make an espresso.
I use it about 3-5 times a week, and clean it once a week. Just pop off the top, rinse off the coffee grounds, and wipe off the little coffee ground left inside the machine (easily accessible). Pull out the bottom to dump the used coffee grounds and overflow. The cleaning process takes only a few minutes. It doesn't get any simpler than this.

Summary: Why did I wait so long???
Comment: We went to Europe last year and I tasted expresso for the 1st time. I intended to get a good machine after that but procrastinated. Bad decision. The coffee is great, and this machine makes all the difference in the world.

Summary: Great Coffee/Okay Espresso - Poor Heating
Comment: I got this machine as a Christmas present in December 07 and after using it for over a 1 1/2 years, there are some valid statements in the current reviews. On first opening of the box, I was disappointed in the cheap design of it. The majority of it is plastic, except for the arm, drip grill, and drip dispenser. For $300, I thought it would be designed better.
When I first got it home, I was excited to try and it and have to say it took me a couple of times to figure out the loading of the espresso. The instructions say that a max of 2 cups (using the provided measuring spoon) should be used. What they didn't say is that you have to make sure the arm 'locks' in place to disperse the espresso correctly instead of it draining into the grounds disgard bin and then overflows into the drip drain. This can get messy and it took a couple of times for me to figure it out. In reading other reviews, everything they say is accurate. It is easy to maintain, it does need to be cleaned, but I had it for 1 1/2 years and cleaned it once a week, if not every two weeks. Having the disgard bin is nice and makes it easy for a quick cup of Crema Coffee in the morning if espresso is not your thing. The frother wasn't worth a darn and I ended up warming up my milk via my microwave. Until the power button went out, I had to heat up the coffee in my microwave for 30 secs daily.
Ultimately, in asking the question 'Would you buy it again', the answer is no. I am looking for a single-cup coffee brewer, probably the Breville. Breville BKC600XL Gourmet Single-Cup Coffee Brewer

Summary: Flashbacks of Rome
Comment: I got "into" tea in my teens and 40 years later I am a novice to the world of coffee. I got attached to the creamy beverage cappuccino while in Italy recently and decided to purchase a machine. I bought a Mr. Coffee Expresso/ Cappuccino maker and it did not make a good froth. I could have created better froth by placing a straw into the pitcher and blowing bubbles into the milk! Then I began doing some research on Amazon into other machines. I almost bought a manual machine until the reviews indicated that a degree of mechanical skill was needed to operate the device. I have the mechanical ability of a gerbil and when I saw the words "must prime the pump" as well as other mysterious manuvers, I feared I would need to return to Rome for my cappuccino (Starbucks with their huge servings just doesn't cut it for me plus it's just not as good), or would need to spend upward of $1000 and more to purchase an automatic machine. Then I read the reviews on the Capresso and was pleased at the price, ease of use and the kudos for the rich, thick froth, and I decided to purchase one. It arrived in 1 1/2 days. I made my first cup this morning and I had flashbacks of having my morning cappucchino at the cafe's under the old apartment buildings of Rome with their cascades of ivy tumbling from flower boxes.
