The MT500 is a thermal carafe equipped automatic coffee maker with digital controls, a stainless steel boiler system, and brews at the proper temperatures.

Bottom Line: I recommend this unit. It makes consistengly hot, good coffe. One negative: cone can overflow.

Bottom Line: Capreso will not make a decent effort a to fix the machine. They want $60 for a new carafe and $35 to repair the mildew area.

Bottom Line: Excellent machine, makes great coffee. You will be happy with the MT500, but make sure that you read the manual to avoid a few common operator errors.

Don Smith (quality: 9.3) 01.20.2006 Rating: 8.2
Bottom Line: If you're tired of run-of-the--mill, "cheap 'n cheesy" coffeepots, you might want to give this one a try. I've thrown out a lot of 'garbage-pots' in my day. This one stays!

Erik Midtskogen (quality: 8.0) 12.14.2005 Rating: 8.0
Bottom Line: If you are a die-hard Melitta/Chemex funnel user, this machine might be the one to finally break your habit.

George Aaron (quality: 5.2) 03.01.2003 Rating: 6.6
Bottom Line: Lots of show, but if you want hot, not much go.
Glenn Camp (quality: 6.6) 02.24.2002 Rating: 7.0

Helen Standstone 02.04.2006 Rating: 6.0

Jared Ober (quality: 4.0) 12.27.2008 Rating: 3.6
Bottom Line: Bad product w/ bad customer service - already sent back once - will have to send it back again as they didn't fix the problems at all - poor quality
