Product Description
To achieve a spectacular cup of coffee there are essential steps that need to be taken. The water must be free of chlorine taste (hence the charcoal filter), the machine must be able to brew larger or smaller amounts successfully (this one "knows" to disperse hot water more slowly when the coffee ground amount is less). The coffee must be very hot (right around 192 Degrees F, like the brew from the MT500), and kept fresh, as in a double walled stainless steel carafe with a one way valve that keeps flavor and aroma in the coffee. Now it doesn't hurt if the machine itself is gorgeous either, or that it can output 10 cups of coffee in 8 minutes. Oh and one more thing: this is the only coffee maker in its class that has a stainless steel boiler so your coffee doesn't ever come in contact with aluminum. Normally this type of construction, and a 1200 watt heating element are found only on commercial grade appliances.

Employing a stainless-steel vacuum carafe instead of a warming plate, this 1,200-watt coffeemaker brews up to ten 5-ounce cups in just 8 minutes for maximum flavor and aroma, and the carafe then keeps the coffee hot for 4 hours. The carafe prevents coffee from turning bitter, as it can when sitting on a warming plate, and doesn't have to remain with the machine for coffee to stay hot. To reduce calcification, Capresso's stainless-steel ThermoBlock system prevents water from contacting aluminum inside the machine. Other features: a digital, programmable, 24-hour clock/timer that makes it possible to have coffee ready in the morning; an automatic pause when the carafe is removed during the brewing process for a quick pour; a charcoal water filter to remove up to 83 percent of the chlorine in tap water; an electronic indicator to show when the water filter needs replacing; a setting for brewing three to five cups without diluting flavor and aroma; a permanent Gold Tone filter; automatic shutoff after brewing; an external water-level indicator; and concealed cord storage. With a polished, extruded-aluminum body and plastic accents, the machine looks great on the counter. It measures 9-3/4 inches wide, 13-3/4 inches high, and 10 inches deep, weighs 7 pounds, and carries a one-year warranty against defects. --Fred Brack

Please save yourself the headache and avoid purchasing anything from Kismet. We ordered the Capresso coffee maker (170.00) and were unhappy with the product. We have been calling everyday for the last 15 days to speak with a representative to either replace or return the device. Not certain if the maker of Capresso product is aware of this or if they are one in the same with Kismet. Regardless, I will avoid both for now.
TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE!!
 Superior Coffeemaker: Capresso 440 MT 500 June 1, 2010
B. M. Frankel (Boston)
I pride myself on being a coffee afficionado. Nothing but the best beans for me. I needed to get a replacement coffeemaker after my Cuisinart 12 cup began to leak. Based on the reviews I read, I decided to go for a premium Capresso 440 MT 500. I was not disappointed. The controls are easy to use, and the coffee brews fast. Most importantly, the coffee tastes great--far superior than tasted through my Cuisinart brewer. The water head seems to cook the coffee more thoroughly than my previous coffee maker. Also, the thermal design keeps it warm and not bitter for three hours. The standard gold filter provided is a nice touch. The Capresso coffeemaker is definitely worth the money.

I thought long and hard before spending this amount of money on a coffee maker, but once I did, I have not looked back. This coffee maker brews coffee and it is in my mug in 6 minutes. It is fast like a BUNN, but brews in a way that gets the best taste out of the coffee bean. I am not a coffee snob, but I do like a good, fast cup of coffee. The thermal carafe is a huge plus and keeps the coffee hot enough for me for about 3 hours. I also use the filters recommended for this maker, and I suggest that you use them as well as there is no scale buildup from using tap water to brew. Treat yourself, you'll be glad you did!

I purchased this model because it is an exact replacement for the same model I had for 12 years. My previous unit saw heavy duty service making 2-4 pots a day. It had been damaged by water soaking the electronics in a small kitchen accident. There was no questiohn in my mind what coffee maker I wanted. The only brand that surpasses Capresso is Technivorm and that is a somewhat less convenient unit to use.
The coffee is brewed at the proper temperature. The thermal pot keeps it hot for hours. I co8uldn't be more satisfied.

The thermal carafe makes this an incrimental improvement over the old design of warming the coffee pot with a heat plate that tends to over cook the coffee as the level of coffee goes down. The last pour tastes as fresh as the first. Also the easily replaceable water filters help overcome local water impurities.
