This grinder is exactly what I was looking for in a home version for espresso. I am very pleased with this conical burr grinder and the machine grinds the beans perfectly. I have tried other burr grinders but this conical style fits the need. Would I purchase this grinder again?...YES!

Man do I love my Capresso drip coffee maker. My Capresso needs filters. That's fine. I'd give it gold bullion if it asked...
Since they are not made of gold, these filters get a 4 for price being a bit too high.

This filter has worked well in our Jura. The coffee tastes great. We don't have to use the hard water tablets because we have always used the filter. They are a bit pricey, but worth it.

These work well and I believe because we use them the machine remains running smoothly.

This is the first espresso machine I've owned, but I can see no problems with it so far. It works extremely well, makes the espresso quickly, and is fairly easy to clean. The DVD that is included is extremely helpful for people out there who haven't used an espresso maker before. I know someone else with the same machine, and she has had no problems either. If you're looking for a relatively low cost espresso maker, this is the one to pick.

Heats water in a few seconds. Boils in about a minute. This has to be the most efficient, least-energy-used way to heat water with electricity. Safe because only glass and stainless steel touch the water. Directions say, put only water in it. But of course you can use it for tea, coffee, dish water!

I've been using this filter on my C3000 ever since I bought the machine up until a few months ago. I really couldn't tell any difference in taste without the filter. I know it helps to reduce the buildup of minieral inside the machine but as far as taste my coffee/espresso it still tastes like coffee/espresoo without the filter. I would still recomend buying it to reduce the buildup of minerals inside your machine but as far as taste I would pass.

If you are looking to brew fresh ground coffee at the right temperature, with the correct amount of water contact time, there are very limited choices of machines from which to choose. The hundreds of "Mr. Coffee" type brewers are all basically the same and simply don't do right by the beans. Water too hot, not hot enough, brew too fast or too slow. The Technivorm is, arguably the only other option. It costs a bit more. The Capresso MT-500 is certainly more commercially available, on line and at higher-end kitchen/home retail stores. It is a proven machine having been available unchanged for some years now. The are only two choices here: all metal alloy or the model with the black plastic coffee filter holder unit. You choose whichever model fits your kitchen style. The thermal carafe does indeed keep the brew hot for a couple of hours (as advertised) and is a far better idea than a glass carafe sitting on a warmer plate. It's not likely anyone interested in correctly brewing coffee would be doing that, right? The Capresso also features a built-in activated charcoal filter to remove chlorine and contaminants from the water before it gets to the beans, in case you're stuck using water from the tap.

If you're not so picky about your coffee and simply drink the stuff for the buzz, save your money and buy a cheapy, leave the brew on the warmer until it burns, break the glass carafe and replace it or the whole machine a few times and so be it. But if you want to really *taste* the coffee and are stimulated more by the fresh brewed aroma than the caffeine, then step up to a coffee brewer that does it right.

The product works alright. In comparison to the liquid version this product is very expensive as you will only get 3 cleanings out of this 9 pack (3 tablets per cleaning). The price point of the liquid is more reasonable as it provides at least 5 or 6 cleanings.
