Customer Review: Good brewer, hard to clean water reservoir
We are using this coffee maker for a couple of years and never had any problem with it -- except as noted. Replaced the carafe a couple of times (due to breakage in the sink due to frequent cleaning -- I like my coffee brewing equipment clean). This is the point I am having problems with: it is very hard to clean the water reservoir of this coffee maker. I am talking about the compartment where you pour the water in for brewing. When comparing to a cup of coffee made by Starbucks, I always noticed some "old" flavor in the coffee I brewed on this machine. Finally discovered the there is quite an accumulation of coffee residue at the bottom of the water reservoir. It took some soaking and scrubbing in Drano, subsequent rinsing with ammonia and finally cleaning with detergent to get rid of the scum. Be careful and be your own judge, these are dangerous chemicals and are not intended for this particular application! After this cleaning my coffee tastes crisp, refreshing and delicious again. Being honest, most of the coffee makers must have this problem, I don't want to single out this particular model... Now that I have discovered and solved this smelly problem, I am looking for a coffee maker that is easier to clean and has stainless steel surfaces that come in contact with the water. Probably looking at more $$$ too. Anyone has a suggestion? Cheers, Zoltan
Customer Review: Not such a good cup of coffee
Ok loved this coffee maker at first. But then it stared leaking a bit. So after a few months of that and learning just to put the maker by the sink. Now it has died on me and the pump went out. I only had this maker for 6 months. Gee my last one that still works and I gave away was over 15 yrs old. I should of kept it. Now I am out $50 and I need a new maker.

Customer Review: Great coffee maker!
The Capresso MT500 coffee maker is the best I've seen so far, and I have had some good ones. I like the way the top screws on firmly to hold heat in and unscrews a quarter turn for easy pouring (not dribbling) into your cup. I use cones a lot, but the metal cone is a great backup when I am out. Although the clam is 4 hours, I actual find a warm cup in there 6 hours later. And it looks nice.
Customer Review: Works as advertised
I have been using a coffee press for the past few years because I wasn't all that impressed with the automatic coffee makers and their "feature" of constantly heating the coffee once it has been brewed. I really hate the smell of coffee that has been left on a heater. I basically resigned myself to using a coffee press and placing this in a Thermos to keep hot. This works very well for me, but I recently visited a friend who had a coffee maker that brewed into a carafe. Duh! I did a pretty extensive review on the web and narrowed my choices to the Zojirushi EC-BD15 and the Capresso MT500. The Zojirushi is too tall to fit under my kitchen cabinets and I knew my wife wouldn't want a coffee maker anywhere but tucked discreetly under a cabinet (she hates coffee, which is o.k. because that leaves more for me). I bought the Capresso MT500 even though I had read that the coffee wasn't that hot for smaller brew sizes and that the lid was a bit funky. I followed the directions and preheated the carafe and brewed a pot using the 3-5 cup setting. The coffee came out great and was very hot. The second cup, about 2 hours later was definitely hot enough, and this was even after adding a lot of half and half from the fridge. So no complaints from me about the ability of the unit to make hot coffee, or the ability to keep that coffee hot. I have read some negative reviews about the lid, some mentioning that the "dot" on the lid is hard to see. I can see it just fine and don't have a problem with that. The flanges on the lid are a little on the thin side, but I don't think this will be a problem because I don't plan on cranking hard on the lid to close it. I do think I will buy a spare lid as a backup because if the lid breaks then you can't make any coffee (depending on just how the lid breaks). I did not install the charcoal filter because I use RO water. Plus, I don't want to pay for what looks to be a fairly overpriced sack of charcoal. I just turned the filter light off (per the instructions) and haven't given this another thought. If you really need filtered water then I think there are other options that are cheaper in the long run. So, nothing all too negative about this coffee maker. It looks great (I got the silver coffee holder model #441) and does a very good job.

Krups DuoThek 10-Cup Thermal Coffeemaker With free Decalcifier - FREE Shipping

Your spouse prefers a brewed cup of dark French Roast in the morning, while you prefer to finish off a whole pot of mild, lighter-bodied coffee during the course of the day. How to satisfy everyone? This dual coffeemaker has two independent carafes, filter holders, water chambers, and water level indicators so you can simultaneously brew up to 10 large cups of each persons favorite blend. The DuoThek is also great for offering both caffeinated and decaffeinated coffee at dinner parties or in a small office.Krupss special Deep Brew System employs a unique filtering action to enrich the flavor of any ground beans, and a double-walled filter preserves coffee aroma and keeps brewing at the optimum temperature. The controls on this coffeemaker are few and completely idiot-proof. They consist of separate illuminated power switches for each side of the coffeemaker and a button that slows the brewing cycle down when brewing less than three cups (works on the left side of the coffeemaker only). Each of the thermal stainless-steel carafes is double insulated to keep beverages hot for hours and preserve flavor. The carafes include plastic screw-top lids for additional heat retention and have a spout that ensures drip-free pouring from any angle. This coffeemaker uses paper filters and is covered by a limited one-year warranty. --Cristina Vaamonde

Customer Review: Works fine, just one wish list item
This is a great coffee maker overall. I'd love to see a stainless holding tank for the coffee in the next generation. It's certainly convenient! Just load the coffee maker with water, looking at the convenient gauge on the side for the right level. A little trick that many people do not seem to understand is that the coffee reservoir pulls out and doubles as a water pitcher. See the pouring spout? Yep, that's it! Add your basket (which takes a normal #4 filter), coffee, and turn the left knob to 'brew'. Turn the right knob to 'on'. The Cuisinart beeps when the coffee is ready. Push the lever, and get your drink on! This coffee maker is fast, makes very good coffee, and keeps it hot without the burnt taste. Want it ready at a certain time? No problem. The clock is easy to set, the auto on works well. The empty/full gauge is a very appealing feature.
Customer Review: Coffeetime convienance. . .
Did you ever wonder if the people who design these gadgets ever use their product? I am giving it a 4-star rating because it does make very good tasting coffee, however it has some flaws you just have to live with: Not necessarily in any special order so here goes: 1. Water inlet. You pour the desired water into a small cavity right next to the warmer section. Be careful not to spill water into the wrong place! Seems like it should be color coded so you can tell where the water goes. 2. The water guage is on the side kind of out of view. Should be on the front. 3. The clock is too small, difficult to read the numbers. 4. When you open the top lid condensation runs down the back of the unit. 5. There is a HOT button for 1-4 cups of coffee... what about having hot coffee no matter how many cups you make? I turn this on every time. Well overall I like my coffee maker, it is handsome on the counter and does a really good job of making delicious coffee. Cleaning the inside chamber is easy and you don't have to worry about a glass carafe.
