Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
Brew cafe-quality espressos, cappuccinos, and lattes from the comfort of home with this easy-to-use countertop appliance. The unit features a ThermoBlock heating system with 16 bars of pressure for perfect brewing, plus it can deliver continuous steam for hot frothed milk when making cappuccinos and lattes, with no downtime or purging necessary. Its two-part frother consists of a frothing sleeve for injecting hot steam and air into milk for frothy cappuccinos and, with the frothing sleeve removed, a steam tube for injecting hot steam only into milk for lattes. Even more, its swivel frother allows for frothing directly into a tall glass or frothing pitcher. Be sure to clean both the frothing sleeve and steam tube thoroughly after each use to keep them in good working order. For added convenience, users can alternate between the espresso/cappuccino function and the steam/hot-water function (great for teas and cafe americanos) with a simple flip of the selector switch. Other highlights include a removable 48-ounce water tank (35 espressos) with a self-locking valve, a self-locking filter holder with a thumb guard, handy "warm up" and "ready" indicator lights, an integrated metal cup-warming platform, an easy-to-clean removable drip tray with a water-level indicator, two sieves for producing one or two espressos at a time, a concealed spare sieve-storage compartment, and cord storage to help keep countertops looking tidy. A measuring scoop comes included. The 1050-watt UL-listed espresso machine measures 8 by 11-1/2 by 11 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.

Customer Reviews
I love this machine, have been using every single day for a month to make lattes at home. Turn it on and let it warm up for 10-15 minutes to get a hotter brew, and also for the cup warmer to be of any use. For my first espresso machine I am completely happy, especially for the price. A little practice with the steam wand and I am getting consistent texture, temperature, and taste with my daily latte. I would definitely recommend for first time users who are trying to make the switch from your daily $4 latte, it will pay for itself!
I really love this espresso machine. I am no great coffee afficianado, but I was entering a time period when I foresaw the need for the regular intake of caffeine, and really only enjoy lattes, so I clearly needed an espresso machine that would also allow me to steam milk. I previously had the Mr.Coffee espresso machine that did have the steam wand, but I was moving and it was either a choice to pay to ship my Mr. Coffee or look into something new. I didn't love the Mr. Coffee, but I didn't have any huge complaints either. The opportunity came up for me to get a new machine for free (thanks to some promotional points I had with an organization that were soon to expire). This was the only espresso machine they had to "purchase" and the reviews I could find were generally positive, though not glowing. But, this machine definitely seemed like it would fit my needs and would be a better use of points than cubic zirconia earrings so, I bought it!
With that full disclosure out of the way, I must say I have grown to love this machine After just about 2 weeks of use, its probably gotten more use than my Mr. Coffee did over the 3 years or so that I had it.
Things that I love:
EASE OF USE. This thing is CRAZY easy to use. I have even shown my mother (who is about 60 and not too tech savvy) how to steam her own lattes. I'm still having trouble with my husband who can never remember anything I tell him, but I am sure he will come around as well. The pieces fit together without much, if any, wrangling and finessing. It heats up and is ready very quickly. I just turn it on and by the time that I have assembled all my items for making my drink, its ready. Overall, just a joy to use.
Versatility. Since I am not an innate coffee lover, I love that this machine can be used so well and so easily for other things as well. It makes hot water for tea with just a flip of a switch and it is hotter faster than if I were to use the microwave or electric kettle. It basically has replaced any of our old methods of heating water for tea. The ease with which it steams (and the rapidity with which it gets ready) makes making steamed milk drinks a snap. I've actually had more chai lattes than espresso since I've gotten this machine, and I love them!
QUALITY. As I said before, I am not a great coffee afficionado and a decent cup to me may not be a decent cup to someone with a more discriminating palate. That said, I DO think the quality of the espresso that I pull with the Capresso is better than what I remember with the Mr. Coffee--and I lost my really good tamper in the move. So once I purchase a new one I think that the quality of the espresso from the Capreso will be even higher.
Things that I don't love:
SIZE. If you have limited counterspace, this may not be for you. The Mr. Coffee was great with its very small footprint--could easily store out of the way or didn't take up much counterspace. While not huge, it's also not tiny. However, its multiple uses and the frequency with which I use it make leaving it out not such a huge drawback. (Also helps that I now have a bigger kitchen!)
So, overall, just wanted to put my 2 cents in that this was a very useful machine, which I am very pleased with and have already recommended it to friends. I don't know how it compares with the performance of comparable machines at its price, but on its own it is very satisfactory, and really I enjoy using it.
An additional FYI: I had also found this video review online when I was doing my search and it was very informative/insightful: [...].
