I miss Cafe Cubano from Miami. Not anymore! In less than 2 minutes a PERFECT colada and if need be a Cafe Con Leche to boot! I use it every day since purchase. I don't like espresso prices anywhere. Just spent $1.99 in Alachua FL for 1 colada (had to buy 2). Cafe Bustello $2.50 10oz bag, sugar, water and about 1 minute or less to brew. NO LINES unless other people in the house beat you to it! EXCELLENT BREW system for my needs!

Easy to use, makes really good crema and stands the test of quality product for good value. I replaced my more expensive Capresso, that I had had for 8 years after it sprang a leak, with this much cheaper edition of the Jura line, Capresso, because of Jura's commitment to solid stainless steel interiors. Although this newer, cheaper version does have more exterior plastic, it still makes good espresso and froths well with high temperature steam and stream, looks good, and fits in a small space.

It's really a 3.5 star machine like it comes, but with a few simple modifications it becomes a 5 star machine. The most important was the two replacement 51mm filter baskets, a real tamper, a couple espresso shot glasses. With modifications it now produces as good as any $450.00 machine out there, and buy GOOD Fresh Coffee.

I wanted an espresso machine for our winter home and as only I drink it, I did not want an expensive model. This one does the job well. It is easy to operate and easy to clean. Pretty surprised by the quality for such an inexpensive machine.

Perfect size, it’s the same size as a 10 pot coffee machine. Easy to use and clean. Only down fall is it does not come with cups or milk pot but otherwise great buy.

This espresso maker is pretty good for the price. I am really enjoying it and you won’t be disappointed

Makes a great cup of coffee. On the espresso shot, there a nice layer of foam, and the steam wand does wanders for warming milk and making foam for lattes, cappuccinos, or whatever drink strikes your fancy.

I bought one of these for my daughter and got to try it out when we went to visit. It warms up almost immediately. The espresso makes an amazing amount of creme and it really makes the flavor of the coffee pop. The frothing feature works just right. The whole unit is compact and easy to clean. Before we returned home I had one shipped there. I hope this machine will last a long time so I'm using only distilled water it. If I can I will post another review in about a year. I sure hope Sam's Club will continue to sell this model because I am sure I will be telling all my friends about it!

The Capresso Cappuccino Machine is a lot of fun to have around. My only suggestion would be to make a removable milk steamer and frother. That way it would be easier to clean. The black plastic cap on the steamer is easy to clean because it can be submerged in water. The stainless steel part of the frother, the part that can't be removed is difficult to clean even quickly after use. Soaking would be a nice option if it were removable. Perhaps it could be battery operated.

It requires that you run an initial cycle with just water to preheat the machine. Then it expels the excess water after each brew onto the tray enough that it has to be emptied each time. Worst thing is that if I fill it with the maximum amount of strong coffee ground beans, I can't brew more than 4 oz because the coffee will be too weak. So the picture on the box is misleading because if you brewed that much it would taste like water. The 40oz water container is nice but the top doesn't detach so it's awkward to fill. Also, it leaves the coffee grounds in the handle really wet do it's harder to remove them. My last machine of another brand was better and cheaper, however it stopped working after 2 months. I thought I'd try this one but I'm not sure I'll keep it.
