Capresso lacks quality control on their products, at least with #452. Would not purchase a third one!
Positive Product Points
Did not have makers long enough to rate positive features
Negative Product Points
First maker would not heat the water the second time it was used. The second maker‘s LCD panel would not work...couldn‘t even turn it on.
Detailed Commentary
I owned two Capresso # 452 coffee makers in three days and enjoyed one cup of coffee from the first one. The coffee was good and I liked the grinder placed on the outside of the maker (this is not done in many of the coffee makers with grinders). I paid $200 for it at the Bon Marche in Lynnwood. Capresso‘s customer service was somewhat lacking with the second machine...rep only wanted to send me a third machine. My response...why in the world would I want to go through this exercise again!!!
