A Perfect Cup of Coffee! March 27, 2007
0 out of 1 found this review helpful

After staying with friends and enjoying a morning cup of coffee from their machine, I decided to purchase my own Jura-Capresso. After a month of now owning my machine, I can not express how much I enjoy the ability to make a perfect cup of coffee. The machine works very well and I have had no problems with it. I received the optional siphoning attachment to make latte's and hot hot milk drinks. This also works well for heating the milk prior to putting in the coffee. My only question is whether to purchase the after sale factory extended warranty as it is rather pricey.

Noise, low pressure, grounds in my coffee.... February 28, 2007
3 out of 4 found this review helpful

I was very excited when my F7 arrived. Out of the box it looked good. After that, it was all downhill. The first problem was with the pressure. It dripped liquid into the cup - that was the rinse cycle. The coffee cycle was worse - nothing but slow drips with a rare drizzle. The second problem I had was with all those coffee grounds in the coffee. Of all the coffees I have had (and believe me that was a lot), I have never seen so many grounds in coffee. I ran the rinse cycle several more times trying to get the pressure to work. Nothing improved. I ran a whole container of water through it with the same results every time. I went on line to find answers - Capresso's web site was zero help (and they really do need to answer their Emails. Good luck to you if you need to contact them). The third problem I had was the noise. WOW! Is that a lumber mill inside the machine?! Are they putting out a fire in there after the coffee finishes its dripping?
The bottom line is this - for $1300.00, there had better be rockets shooting that coffee out. It should be at least what they claim - same as a professional brew house espresso maker (or 18 bars). This machine is clearly not. The coffee grounds need to be reduced (a lot - my French press has fewer). Finally, the noise has to be less than my $15 grinder. I am not impressed at all. My $150.00 espresso maker put this one to shame. Too bad, the idea was a good but the F7 needs a lot of work. My F7 is on its way back.

Impressa-d! February 6, 2007
I've been using this machine for a couple of months now and so far so good. The espresso is rich and tasty. I've used Starbucks beans as well as "Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf" beans and have had no problems with them at all. I have found that if I run the rinse cycle a little more frequently I get better espresso. The only downside I've seen is the size of the water tank - the machine will say it's out of water well before it's empty so the usable volume of the tank is much less than what they state as the size.

Fixing the Frothing Problem January 19, 2007
2 out of 2 found this review helpful

I actually have the Capresso C1300, but was also experiencing problems with the frother. I took the tip posted by another reader and switched out the existing frothing tip with a Krups frothing tip. (I had an old Krups espresso/capuccino machine left over, before I upgraded to the Capresso). What do you know - it totally worked! The froth is sooooo much better with the new tip!

This machine is spectacular July 11, 2006

I can't say a lot about this machine that hasn't already been said. The build quality is excellent and the coffee is the best I've ever had, consistently.

I had avoided automatics for a while simply because pulling a shot seemed like such a romantic notion. Hah! Switching to a schedule that kicks off at 5:45 AM makes anything 'automatic' look a whole lot sexier. I am setting aside $$$ so that when this one finally fails (and that should be a while - this machine demonstrates superior engineering), I can dart right to the store and buy another.

And, although I think microfoam might be another romantic notion (if it tastes good and wakes me up, I'm good), the previous reviewer might want to check his or her water quality - I have deliciously pure backwoods North Carolina well water that gives me superb crema.
