Jura-Capresso MT500 10-Cup Coffee Maker

NOTE: THIS REVIEW IS FOR THE MT-600, THE UPDATED VERSION OF THE MT-500 ; Fast hot coffee ; Attractive, quiet machine

Expensive ; Mediocre coffee doesn't justify price ; Poor (non-existent) spray arm

The MT500 is basic in function and rich in quality. Exactly what you should expect from a solid drip coffee maker. This makes great coffee in a short amount of time and the carafe keeps it hot and prevents the coffee from being boiled and burned on a...

Yes, the large flip top lid does require you to pull the machine out from under the counter to fill it with coffee and water. It's not a big deal to me, but apparently it bothers some people. I've seen counter top slide bases online that serve as a...

The product comes packaged well. It is built solidly. It really is aesthetically appealing. It is easy to keep clean. It is very easy to fill with coffee. It is very easy to use

It is a bit on the expensive side. Pouring water into the machine requires some care as the receptacle is narrow and one can easily miss the target. DO NOT OVERFILL THE 10 CUP CAPACITY MARK or you will overflow the carafe and make a mess. The lid on...

Coffee is delicious; love to look at it. Has a timer. Love a thermal carafe

It floods once a month. Coffee everywhere

Looks nice, coffee comes out hot, thermal carafe holds heat well

The base of the unit leaks. Capresso service is very poor

Brews great coffee and keeps it warm. Coffee is hot enough for me 1 hour after when my wife makes it. But, I don't put anything in it...if I put in cream, it would be too cool

Water level height is hard to see. Must pre-heat caraffe to keep coffee hot. Why hasn't someone thought of a way to preheat the caraffe automatically? It kinda makes the timer function worthless

Just a lousy product with lousy customer support - Already sent back once - the problems that were reported to Capresso were not fixed at all. Not a quality product but I will send back again so that I am not out the $180 that I paid

Doesn't brew properly - sometimes does not get all water through - makes a lot of gurgling noise, clock does not work - lots of spillage in the brewing process and while pouring

Easy to use. Coffee is piping hot and tastes wonderful!

Limited availability in walk in stores.

Nice design features

Fatal flaws you shouldn't have for the price.

I used a very-accurate ThermaPen we use for tempering chocolate. I got a reading of 198F (after running about 1/2-carafe of water into a COLD pot because this is my habit) as soon as the brewing light went out. That's plenty hot for my AeroPress needs,...

Nothing, really ; No kidding... can't think of a thing I don't like ; Well, my wife didn't like the loopy Capresso logo on the front. I'm a graphic designer, though, and it doesn't bother me
