Capresso 12-Cup Coffee Maker with Glass Carafe Stainless and Black 416 05

Works well, easy to use. I like the paper filter but the gold one works really good. I also like the option of the strength. Read more

Great coffee maker. Brews well. Plate could be a little hotter but overall I really like it. For those of you watching your cholesterol...this coffee maker comes with a cone shaped mesh basket which means, if you grind your own beans or use an espresso blend like I do then you're getting more of the oils in your coffee/body than might be healthy. Cone shape anything is supposed to brew a more flavorful pot/cup of coffee. My previous coffee maker had a basket shaped filter housing and this Capresso DEF brews a better cup/pot of coffee. I purchased unbleached cone filters to use in place of the mesh basket BUT the paper cone filters are thicker than the paper basket filters which requires me to use more coffee and then the taste of my coffee is different. IF I just use the mesh cone filter that came with this coffee maker the coffee is soooo much better but then I run the risk of all the oils - using the paper filters means I am filtering out most of those oils WHICH you can validate by the carafe. Without the paper filters, just using the mesh filter, the glass carafe has this oily feel and look after each pot = consume more of the oils and wash after every use BUT when I use the paper filters there is little to no oily residue left behind on the glass carafe from my coffee = giving it a quick swish under hot water and it's good for a day or two. Just a little PSA because I care :) I've had this coffee maker for a few months now and while my choice to swap use of filters vs basket every couple of days is a little more hi-maintenance for me, overall I am very happy with this purchase.

Like this coffee maker a lot. Takes cone filters and has a multi holed dispenser. Works great. Read more

My husband and I have used the 12 cup Capresso coffee maker for several weeks since our last coffee maker suddenly stopped working. The carafe on this coffee maker reads that it is 12-cups as our last was but does not serve nearly the same amount of coffee. It does make a good brew and is easy to program. However, I do wish it had a larger carafe. It is attractive in appearance. I think it is worth considering for those who do not mind missing approximately 4-6 ounces of coffee. Read more

I bought this coffee maker in February 2022. It had a reasonable price and worked beautifully until August 2022 when the plastic filter cup "stop dripping coffee" spring piece fell apart with no way to fix. The coffee maker was still under warranty; Capresso said to return the coffee maker (at my expense) for fixing or replacement. No replacement available for the plastic filter cup or the spring piece which I would have been happy to pay for. Just another example of cheap manufacturing and another item for the landfill.

It’s totally fine. The coffee is better than a lot of drip brewers. It’s the same as the cheap plasticky ones you might find in a hotel room, but far better designed and constructed in my opinion, and it therefore makes superior coffee. It’s a perfectly legitimate drip brewer. It is an all plastic water pathway just like the cheaper ones, and the instructions to run it twice without coffee before brewing need to be adjusted. The first sip of coffee after following the instructions had a strong plastic taste & I had to toss that carafe. Definitely run it a couple more times with water only than the instruction manual tells you to. This coffeemaker is resoundingly decent. If you don’t grind your own beans or get into any fancy stuff with your coffee, if you just want a consistent drip coffee experience, this is a good machine for you. It uses a gold tone filter so you don’t need paper ones. It brews consistently and hasn’t had any issues. It is pretty tall and large on the countertop, it definitely takes up a decent amount of room. This is why I returned it, that and I wasn’t using it much because I have been getting into fancier brewing methods. If you need a reliable coffeemaker this seems like a good one. The carafe is also fairly fragile, I would watch out for that, but if you are using it as directed it should be okay. Read more
