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: Total dissatisfaction. "Stay hot" claim by manufacturer is BS.

Bottom Line: I wouldn't recommend the Capresso MT500 to anyone unless they tried a cup brewed from it before purchase to make sure that they like what this machine produces.

Bottom Line: Really a poor design and very dissapointing response from Capresso when I requested help resolving the issue. The replacement they sent works well - but this should not be necessary.

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.
