 good quality but bad design if you like strong coffee Sep 01, 2010
we bought this machine at a local store and unfortunately have to return it - even on the strongest setting the coffee is very weak. Given, we prefer very strong coffee, but a machine at this cost should have some flexibility to allow you to adjust how much coffee gets ground. We set it for 8 cups, filled it with beans, put 8 cups of water in and set it for the strongest coffee setting. We used high quality french roast beans, and what came out was really weak coffee.
If you don't like strong coffee this machine is probably great for you - and for quality it seems to be 5 star by our initial assessment. But if you prefer stronger coffee then you might not want to waste time with this one.
 Capresso Coffee Maker Aug 30, 2010
I love this coffee maker. It came the next day in the mail so I didn't have to wait at all.

Awesome coffeemaker! Aug 17, 2010
We had an earlier model Capresso coffeemaker for 14 years. It was an excellent machine. This newer design is even better! Originally we bought a Cuisinart grind and brew. In short, compared to the Capresso it is a piece of junk. The Capresso takes up less space on the counter, is quieter and makes better coffee to suit your particular taste. The only thing that is not superior to the older design Capresso is that the coffee bean hopper is much smaller which means it needs to be filled more often. If you love great coffee, buy this machine. You will not be disappointed.Capresso 465.05 CoffeeTeam TS 10-Cup Digital Coffeemaker with Conical Burr Grinder and Thermal Carafe

Best Grind & Brew Coffee Maker around Aug 15, 2010
We bought this Capresso coffee maker 6 months ago. (This replaced another Capresso coffee maker that lasted 8 years!) I was worried as some of the features had changed in this new model. Fortunately all the changes were good.
My main concern was the cleaning of this machine. Turns out that this is even easier to clean (unlike the Cuisinart grind and brew, which I would never buy because it is such a pain to clean)
To clean, you rinse out the pot and filter basket. And you're ready to make a new pot of coffee. It's very easy to add water and beans. It literally takes just a minute to make a new pot.
The coffee is very hot after it finishes brewing. And the thermal carafe keeps the coffee hot and fresh for hours.
We like our coffee strong. This new model allows you to grind many more beans for a full pot. (we used to have to do two grinds to make one pot in our old model)
It is loud but fortunately our kitchen is nowhere near our bedroom so this is a non-issue.
Good work Capresso. Now if the coffee maker made 12 cups, instead of 10, I would give it 5+ stars. However, Capresso believes that 10 cups should be the maximum amount of coffe made in one brew. They believe the coffee degrades in quality with a larger amount of water.

Great machine, with one flaw Aug 10, 2010
I've had my Capresso CoffeeTeam for about 4 months now. Like other reviewers, it took a few tries to get all the settings to my liking, finally settling on a course grind (one reviewer said that you cannot set the fineness of the ground beans - this is not true), aroma setting to dark, grind 6 cups worth of beans and using 4 cups of water.
I prefer to use paper filters - otherwise, some grounds seem to make their way into the pot and my cup. The problem I have once in a while is that, if you don't make sure you've got the paper filter inserted lower than the edge of the swing-out filter holder, and make sure the filter stays lower than the edge when you close it, the filter can get caught when you close the filter holder. When this happens, some of the grounds miss the filter and drop directly into the filter holder area and you end up with a pot and cup full of grounds.
As long as I'm careful when inserting the paper filter, I couldn't be happier with this coffeemaker.
Is is somewhat loud, but when I hear it start grinding downstairs in the morning, I know it's time for me to get out of bed :)
