The MT500 is a thermal carafe equipped automatic coffee maker with digital controls, a stainless steel boiler system, and brews at the proper temperatures.

Bottom Line: After start with excellent results, the coffee maker failed to perform to expectations before 6 months had passed.

Bottom Line: Capreso will not make a decent effort a to fix the machine. They want $60 for a new carafe and $35 to repair the mildew area.

Bottom Line: If you're tired of run-of-the--mill, "cheap 'n cheesy" coffeepots, you might want to give this one a try. I've thrown out a lot of 'garbage-pots' in my day. This one stays!
