Capresso Ultima

Easy to use & clean. Great phone support and warranty back up. Capresso covers cost to ship both ways. Foamer works well

Body of the unit replaced twice because plunger base broke. Very uneven brewing. I figured out what is causing the problem. The lower portion of the coffee hopper jams in place and does not allow a full measure of coffee to be loaded. I've notified...

I have had this machine since 2002. I bought new in box from Ebay. Great semi-automatic machine for making espresso, cappuccino, latte. Easy to use. Great system for leading coffee, automatically tamping, and creating great shots. Some minor and one...

Can be a little difficult to clean certain parts, ie the drip tray has many acute angle corners that are very difficult to clean. Carousel top also can be a bugger

looks. It's why I bought it. It has a great Darth Vader look to it. Ultra easy to use, heats up fast. Not too fussy about grind

Spent grounds storage is not a good idea as it promotes mold growth if you don't clean it out regularly. There is a warning light telling you when to empty, but by then there's icky fuzzy MOLD

Compact, small countertop "footprint"; easy to use; heats quickly; makes good espresso, good latte & good cappuccino. Large water reservoir is readily removeable for cleaning, and easily accessible to fill in place

Instructions aren't the easiest to understand, but once understood, it's a great little machine ; used grounds storage turns to moldy mess rather quickly ; has required maintenance once in three years ; I wish the reservoir had a "maximum fill" line...

For me, the fact that it tamps and dumps spent grounds with the simple, clean swivel of a lever is really handy when company comes over and 10 people demand a coffee at once. I'm a coffee purist and don't even own a drip coffee machine! It used to take...

You cannot use pods, but since they're so expensive, who really cares? I do also wish this one came with the automatic milk frother that comes with their lower-end Pro model ; The one additional feature I could use most is the preprogrammed single and...

The Ultima is incredibly convenient,easy to use and clean, and it makes a good espresso shot with a tad of crema

The frother is difficult to use and doesn't heat up properly. I end up heating my milk in a microwave and never using the froth wand
