Just turn it on love the filter that comes with it
So far so good this was a replacement for a pot that was 7 or 8 years old. Canât see spending a lot of money on a pot my husband is the only one who drinks coffee. Hopefully it will last as long

So far so good – Makes a great cup of coffee
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.

Capresso 12 cup coffee maker- Brews well but carafe seems smaller than average
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.

Dont waste ur money
It works but for the price take 20 extra dollars and buy better.. this one is cheaply made the handle on the coffee pot has 2 holes behind the lid so when water get to the top it goes in the handle ans then comes out all over the place when you poor in the water.. i really dislike this coffee maker but for now it brews a pot of coffee i would and do not recommend this and will not buy this maker and probably nothing from this brand because of how cheaply made this is….Update. Made about 4 pots of coffee and now it wont even turn on ive had it less then 2 weeks…

Resoundingly Decent
Itâs totally fine. The coffee is better than a lot of drip brewers. Itâs 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. Itâs 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 donât 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 donât need paper ones. It brews consistently and hasnât 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 wasnât 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.

Makes a GREAT pot of coffee!
I didn’t realize how badly I needed a new coffee pot until I’d broken the carafe on my old one and bought this! Same coffee. Same water. DELICIOUSLY better cup. I like the gold mesh coffee filter, for the planet & my pocketbook. BUT it is tricky to empty/clean (4 âï¸) because of the wet grounds. I haven’t tried a paper filter. My cup usually has a dark layer at the bottom (i use cream) but it’s eminently drinkable – not grounds! Love the “strength” button. I’ve used it both with and without, and both were good, but, especially since I like a little half & half, the strength button is my go-to, and it definitely makes a difference. Nice, compact, great coffee every time, 4 or 10 cups. Excellent buy!
