For starters, the Capresso MT-500 is probably the best looking drip coffee maker you can find today. The stainless steel really shines and the thermal carafe has a solid look to it. You get the impression that this machine will last for many years of brewing in your home. I also like the layout as it is fairly simple with no crazy dials or switches that you won’t ever use. The programmable display is very simple to figure out and the LED is easy to read.

The water reservoir is not removable but it is easy to fill with water. The lid stays up so you can pour in without making a mess. The brewing time is not bad as it will brew a full pot in around 7 minutes. One thing that is nice is you get a drip stop option if you need a fast cup on your way out the door.

There are a couple of things I don’t like about this coffee maker though. I have found that you need to be careful with the little ball on the lid when cleaning it or risk having it get stuck the next time you use it. And since the lid and the brew stop are designed the way they are you must make sure everything is aligned correctly or risk having coffee flow all over the place.

Overall I like the Capresso MT-500 coffee maker. It looks great, brews fast and exceptional coffee, and looks like it will last a long time. Except for a couple minor flaws it is a great machine.
