Maybe the last coffee machine you'll ever need.

We have used this CM5100 3 to 6 times a day for about a year and a half. it has never missed a step. it has worked everytime. It took very little effort making small adjustments to help make a perfect cup of coffee. The adjustments have been to the just right bean grind, the amount of water to fill the cups we use, the strenght of the brew, and how hot. From the time you turn it on to your first cup is about 3 minutes and then quicker for the rest. Clean up is really to easy, just dump and rinse the catch tray. About once a week I pull out the brewer and clean up any grounds that might have spilled during the week. very easy while enjoying a cup that you just made before you started. just buy your favorite beans and go. Others we know have pucks that locks them into types of coffee brands, or machines that need oring replacments or service calls to fix machines. We have not had to deal with those restrictions at this time. Five Plus Stars for this coffee maker.

Great coffee machine
Mr. S. Forster

I have had this machine for a week or so now and have tried and tested all of the features it has to offer. I have had several beans to cup machines in the past - the latest being a delonghi which destroyed itself. This is by far the best machine I have owned, it's very solid and built to a very high standard and goes about it's business quietly and efficiently. The espresso is outstanding, I mix Illy with Douwe Egberts and it produces great flavour with an excellent crema - plus you can adjust the temperature , strength and voume to suit your taste. I especially like the 'coffee' feature where you can get as much or as little coffee as you want. The milk foaming is what costs this machine 5 stars. It heats milk quickly and the temperature is good, but the cappuchinoaerator delivers poor foam - its thin and 'washing up' standard foam, not the thicker cream I like. I prefer to use just a steam wand, so I have removed the little device and just use the steam nozzle manually - it delivers plenty of strong steam and a good creamy foam can easily be achieved. The drip tray and waste hopper hold a good quantity and dont need emptying too often. It does use plenty of water, but then again you always want fresh right.All in all it is a great machine, only let down by the poor milk foamer - which can be worked around.

Great Coffee, Less Than Great Milk Foam
T. Kline

Great machine, very high quality. I am in agreement with the other 2 reviewers from February 2013 and April 2013 and in complete disagreement with the reviewer from April 2012.Great quality coffee. Nice crema. You fill the machine's hopper with whole beans, it has a burr grinder. Push button, drink, enjoy, repeat. Volume of coffee in your cup is adjustable (done in machine setup) as is the intensity and the burr grind size. If you have a travel mug, push the button twice.The daily routine involves pulling the rinse tray, dumping the grind container and rinsing the container and the drip tray with water. The only other thing is filling the removable water container with water. This process is very easy. IF, you do it daily. If you like to let it go, the rinse water will fill the tray until the machine stops. Then carrying the tray across the kitchen is a little precarious. This thing is easier to clean than a drip coffeemaker.The machine is shipped with a litmus paper tester to check your water hardness. We have a water softener and use a Brita filter, so our water was on the softer side. During initial setup you adjust your water hardness in machine settings so that it properly determines how often to demand cleaning. This is important as you don't want the boiler caked with scale.There are two cleaning functions, both involve purchasing cleaning / descaling tablets ( 2 types ). Our machine in 5 months of use has required the brew unit cleaning twice and descaling once. Both are a simple process of filling the machine with water and dropping in one tablet. The machine has a readout that tells what to do. Each process takes 10 or 15 minutes. The only downside is that the machine stops operating and demands cleaning.Read more ›

heigh maintenance, poor value.

Yes, this machine does pull a decent espresso when set up to do so. while i would review its brew as 4 star, other factors detract from the experience of living with the thing that i cannot give it more than one star.let me first explain that i do not own this machine, my parents do.they have an extra garage and space where i have a car i am restoring kept, and my review is formed of the basis of the times i have used the machines while over there, (over 100 times easily) and what i hear from them about it. i was around here when they got it new.the performance of this thing for something that cost as much as it does, and that it is automatic, is a major let down.the bean hopper always needs to be agitated and prodded while the machine is grinding the beans.(what is the point of the thing being auto if you have to stand at it and help it grind the beans and so on)the drip tray is pretty shallow and fills up easily, its design with shallow depth and long tapered side for the spout makes it very easy to spill when transferring to a sink, especially when the bean ground catch container is full making the tray a tat awkward.(we started using an extra cup to catch the rinse)contacts at the back of the drip tray have to be wiped often to keep the machine from thinking the tray is actually full(again, we started using an extra cup to catch the rinse)demands to be descaled or cleaned very often.(sure this will keep the machine serviced and operating longer, but it seems excessive, and probably is there to ensure the cup guarantee they tout.Read more ›
