Title: Capresso 455 Fails to Impress
Review: Not impressed and wouldn't recommend it to a friend. I was excited to find a programable machine with a burr grinder, but the faulty bean feed system negates the feature. My first few pots ended up too weak to drink. It's gotten better, but still not dependable. I find it only works properly if I poke the beans (to aid in feeding) while grinding, which makes the Auto feature unusable. Also, settings are not calibrated to my tastes. To make what I consider "strong" coffee, I have to grind enough beans for a 10-cup pot, but only put 7-8 cups of water in the reservoir. Finally, the programming settings are complicated and unwieldy, and I find myself still getting very frustrated with the machine, even though I've been using it for a few weeks now. Trust me, PASS on this one. For that price, you deserve better.
