Jura-Capresso Ultima 121 Espresso Machine

The Bottom Line: If you like your espresso, you won't like this machine.

Review: I handle stress in some not-so-great ways. Still, better that I go out and buy a $299 espresso machine that I don't need than go out and run somebody over or something. So I can't complain too much. In this case, however, my money-spending habit...

The Bottom Line: FAST, friendly*, GREAT: styling, espresso, coffee, crema, froth *read and do what the directions say

Review: This is the coolest thing I've ever bought... er.. you get the idea. The first weekend I had it, I had a dinner party of 8. I rapid fired cappuccino ALL AFTERNOON! It performed flawlessly and consistently. I had cause to call Capresso customer...

The Bottom Line: Buy one before they stop making them. You can probably find one at $200-$300 if you look around.

Review: No, this is not the finest espresso machine out there but it is better than the negative reviews imply. If you have a good burr grinder, good quality coffee (I now roast my own)and get the grind right and control the extraction, the results can be...

The Bottom Line: I love it!

Review: I had been researching espresso machines for some time because I wanted to update my Krups gusto steam powered machine. I make a lot of espresso during the day ? usually twice for me and once for my wife. More if we have company! So I wanted...

The Bottom Line: Espresso drink lovers will love this machine!

Review: Hello.

Christmas (Eve) finally arrived and I finally got to tear away the wrapping around my new Capresso Ultima. I was so excited I was dreaming about making espresso drinks with it Christmas morning.

I don't know what all the...

The Bottom Line: Ultima is okay if you make espresso not on a regular basis, maybe to entertain friends without having to deal with the mess of loading the coffee one after another.

Review: I tested this Ultima machine for two days, made approximately 20 espresso cups which were not bad.

But I have to take it back. The major con - there is no flow control, and if anything distracts you from watching the coffee dripping in the...

The Bottom Line: Buy it! You will not find a better designed machine especially for the price. This machine is for coffee drinkers not people who want to impress others with flashy gadgets.

Review: Hello from the true coffee capital of America(Anchorage,Alaska), I received another machine as a gift and promptly returned it and ordered this one as a replacement. I new nothing about this machine except that it was the same price. I had my eye on...

Review:
Since its debut in William Sonoma in Spring of 1999, I thought I wanted a Capresso Ultima espresso maker real bad. During the demo by one of their employees, the machine looked stylish enough and made a decent cup of espresso. I thought I'd...

The Bottom Line: If you're into the taste of espresso or cappuccino, the Capresso 121 delivers it easily, tastefully and economically. Doesn't look impressive but what do you prefer?

Review: There are lots of attractive coffeemakers that one can get for around $300 and some have nice metallic bodies that really look impressive on your countertop. The Capresso Ultima Espresso Machine 121, doesn't appear all that great. It looks and feels...

Review: One can go to the Capresso website http://www.capresso.com/ to see this machine, and go to http://www.capresso.com/Espresso_Machines/Coffee_Ultima_Model_121.htm to read the instruction manual. I had read it a couple of times so that by the time I...
