Why we love it
The cheapest way to stop cooking your coffee on a hotplate. A double-walled stainless carafe at this price usually means giving up something else, and here what you give up is certification — Capresso doesn't publish an SCA rating or a brew temperature. What you get is the thing that matters most day to day: coffee that is still drinkable an hour after it was made, and a cup-size setting so brewing two doesn't mean brewing ten.
Pros
- Double-walled stainless thermal carafe at the low end of the range
- Cup-size selection so a small brew isn't a wasted pot
- Three brew strength settings
- Large touchscreen rather than a row of unlabelled buttons
Cons
- No SCA certification and no published brew temperature
- Touchscreen is harder to use by feel than physical buttons
- Thermal carafes pour more slowly than glass
- Capresso publishes less specification detail than the brands above it
