Item Information
MT600 PLUS 10-Cup Programmable Coffee Maker with Thermal Carafe Brewing Coffee at Home Preparing great tasting drip coffee at home is simple but requires many factors in order to consistently achieve the perfect cup. Fresh whole coffee beans should be ground to a medium sized grind immediately before brewing for optimal full-bodied flavor. Using fresh, filtered water is essential as brewed coffee is 98% water and non-filtered water could leave the coffee tasting flat. All Capresso coffee makers feature high quality heating elements that heat the water to the ideal brewing temperature of over 200 degrees F and brew the coffee in less than one minute per cup for the perfect extraction that is never bitter. Preferably you should enjoy the brewed coffee soon after brewing has finished as this is when the coffee is freshest and has the most flavor.

I bought this to replace a KitchenAid 10 cup that unfortunately had an untimely death after a broken carafe. This was the second KitchenAid that I had to throw away because they stopped making replacement parts. I decided to go with a thermal carafe and bought this Capresso and a Melitta (Melitta 10-Cup Thermal Coffee Maker) based on reviews. They both make great coffee and I've had no problems with dripping as another reviewer posted. I do like the concept of the permanent gold filter, but for whatever reason, I find my coffee is better tasting with paper filters. I noticed the Melitta seemed to have a more robust flavor and it doesn't use the gold filter. As a result, I've put the gold filter in the cabinet and am using paper filters. Also, using a lab grade thermometer, my coffee brews at about 180 degrees F. Too hot for me to drink before allowing it to cool, so I'm pleased with temperature.Comparing to the Melitta thermal brewer, the Capresso seems to be "better equipped" with the gold permanent coffee filter and a water filter as well. The Melitta seems to make slightly better coffee when both are using paper filters. The Capresso seems to brew faster, which may be one of the reasons the Melitta had a more robust coffee flavor. For now, I'm going to continue to use the Capresso as my daily coffee maker and use paper filters. The Melitta is going to serve time at another location due to it's slightly challenging colors (it has a big red band around the carafe that is less than appealing). If I had to choose one, I'd probably give the nod to the Melitta.

I purchased this coffeemaker a month and a half ago. I was initially hesitant after reading several reviews of previous and similar models, specifically about coffee not staying warm and high spill rate during brewing. So far I have had no issues with any of that.This coffeemaker has been great, with easy to brew, easy to program, quick to brew, hot and tasty coffee. I would definitely recommend it to friends looking for a new one.Brewing:Takes less than 10 minutes to brew a full pot. Easy to start, auto-shutoff, and drip-stop for pouring while in the middle of brewing works well.Carafe:The carafe keeps our coffee hot for a good amount of time (a couple hours) and warm even longer (another couple hours). I've poured myself a cup after 4 hours and still had a cup that was acceptably warm in my book. I've had no issues with coffee leaking while brewing, and we have not been overly cautious when placing the carafe. We make sure the lid is on, pop it on the holder, and go. We've had no leakage problems of any sort while pouring; it has seemed intuitive to my wife and I that to pour you line up the line on the lid with the pour spout. To me it's reminiscent of a simple lemonade/punch/kool-aid pitcher with a lid that you turn to pour. Another complaint I'd read about this and other similar models is slow pouring. I've not noticed any issues with this, though I'm not used to serving my coffee at water-bucket speeds either. It pours at a medium pace, not a gush, not a dribble. Last note on the carafe: the opening is a bit small, so it may be difficult for some individuals with above average hand size to clean without a brush of some sort.Filter:The filter was easy to install and replace, and I definitely noticed a difference in flavor immediately. I dislike the (chlorine-like) taste of our local water, and this filter does a good job of removing that.Reservoir:The water reservoir is a slight bit awkward to fill, as it is narrow and the water fill meter is off to the right, and if you turn the base to look at it then the grounds holding portion will be in your way if pouring with your left hand, and the reservoir lid is in your way if you pour with your right hand. Mostly just a slight inconvenience, though every time I fill it I do wish the water fill meter was on the front instead of the side.Controls:Because the controls lay flat, they and the display are a little difficult to see unless you pull the coffeemaker right in front of you. That being said, I generally only use the "make coffee" button, and it's easy to see/ press at arms length away. We've only used the programmed start time on a couple occasions, but it worked well.Gold-toned Filter/ Permanent Filter:This coffee maker comes with a "Reusable GoldTone Filter". I don't like it, and don't generally use it. It may be convenient for those times you run out of paper filters, or if you're trying to be environmentally conscious to reduce your paper waste. The filter doesn't do nearly as well at keeping grounds out of the coffee -- grounds dust made it into every pot we brewed using it, and left whomever got the last cup (and some in-between) a wonderful surprise gulp at the end. However, this wasn't a feature we bought the coffeemaker for, and it accepts the standard #4 conical filters.Cleaning:Cleaning has been a breeze. Most of the pieces that are in direct contact with the coffee are removable and easy to wash. The instructions give simple to follow guidance on how to clean your system if you get any mineral buildup. The fingerprint-less stainless steel seems to be just that, at least for normal situations.

I had a previous Capresso which died after 5 years. This one works even better - easy to program, easy to replace the water filter. Took me a bit to figure out how to line up the lid so the coffee doesn't spill as they don't tell you in the manual about lining up the little groove on the lid with the spout so I spent a week spilling coffee until I figured that out. But.. besides that.. it just works and coffee stays warm and tastes great. What more can you want in a coffee maker?
