About Capresso

In 1994, Capresso was launched by Michael Kramm, former president of Krups USA, to serve a specific purpose: to provide innovative coffee and espresso machines for those who want the best. After popularizing high-end coffee makers and the home espresso market for more than 20 years it was time to develop machines which cater to the sophisticated American coffee connoisseur.

The Best Machine
Mr. Kramm believes that the high-end category in the US is currently far from satisfied. "Today Europe shows clearly that there is a next step in how people consume coffee, a step still to be taken by many people here," he explains. "When Europeans go to a specialty store, they are drinking coffee prepared on the principle of pressure-brewed coffee. Our Super-Automatics deliver pressure brewed coffee consistently better and fresher than most American coffee bars."

No Compromise
"When you work for a large multi-national company there are certain things you can't do. Products have to appeal to many customers. So you aim more for the middle. Now we can concentrate on what I know is the best solution for the true coffee lover, not necessarily the most affordable.

Patented Designs and Advanced Technology
Through new, patented designs, Capresso makes it's machines easy to use and easy to care for. Equally important are the design aspects and the quality of the materials used. "A coffee maker sits on the kitchen counter 365 days of the year. It should look great and compliment any kitchen."

High Quality
"Frankly, our machines are not for everyone," he concludes. "But for those who won't settle for second best, we produce high-quality European products that deliver superior performance with utmost convenience and reliability."

People and Attitudes Make a Difference!
Once you own a Capresso product we want to make sure that you feel completely comfortable about your decision. We’re happy to share with you some of the comments we received from customers who dealt with our customer service department.

"Capresso has top-of-line customer service. Real people answer the customer service phones and are very knowledgeable about the products and parts. Parts ordered were delivered very quickly and a confirmation follow-up phone call was even received. It's just a wonderful thing to know that you are dealing with real people who care. As long as your service remains so high, I will always be a loyal customer. I even bought three coffee makers as Christmas gifts for friends this year!"
K.H., MD

"I cannot tell you how impressed I am with your service. There wasn't a single hassle in dealing with your company. My warranty was honored with no questions asked and your customer service reps were extremely friendly. Thank you so much for the wonderful service. On a scale from 1 to 10, I rate your company and products a 20!"
C.S., CA

"I absolutely had to take a moment to...write you my thoughts. Quite honestly, I am so completely impressed with your company - I am at a lack of words. The quality of your product is superb...and the fact that your company backs their products; you’ve restored my faith in businesses."
D.L., FL

"If a customer service rep can destroy or promote a company’s image, your company should take off like a missile..."
K.L., SC

"Your company should be used as a model for other consumer product companies as an example of customer service."
F.B., NY

"I just want to say how happy I am, every time I make a cup of coffee brewed by your machine. I purchased your machine about 6 months ago. I had a slight problem with it(probably was just me). Sent it off to you and in a week's time I had it back good as new again!! In these days, it great to do business with a company that performs to the letter of their warranty! Your actions have created a customer for life, and my hat is off to your company for that!"
A.O., KY

"I wanted to write to let you know how pleased my wife and I are with the customer service we recently experienced with your company. Our Capresso C1000 died on us after almost 2 years of service. My wife contacted your customer service department and was immediately sent a pre-paid mailing label. We returned the machine and 3 days later we had it back. The machine had been overhauled and works perfectly. You even threw in an extra water filter! Your $150 service charge is extraordinarily fair, especially in light of the fact that you paid shipping both ways and gave us an extra filter. We won't hesitate to buy Capresso products in the future because it's clear that you stand behind those products and treat your customers well. To be honest, it was the best customer service experience I've ever had with a consumer product. Well done!"
M.S., DC

" We sent in our Capresso Ultima for repair and you guys did a great job. It was only out of my house 10 days counting the weekend. It works like brand new. Can't thank you enough, and tell you how easy you were to work with on this. My machine was not on warranty any longer and I was shocked at how little it cost for the repair, plus you paid the postage both directions. I love my Capresso, and an so impressed with your service now. Yes, I am a satisfied customer, and will brag about my machine and your service more than I already have."
T.W. LA

"Great customer service. I made a call to your service area which was quickly returned. My problem was resolved immediately. Usually it seems as if numerous attempts need to be made to solve the simplest problem. As often as I see poor service and complain, I thought I should take the time to point out a positive experience."
L.A., VA

"I did not know where I should direct this feedback but felt it important to pass along. I manage a support team for a software developer so I understand the value of customer satisfaction. I also know that it is seldom the team receives positive feedback. I was absolutely thrilled with the level of customer service and excellent attention my problem received. I made the contact thinking the experience would probably result in disappointment but was clearly wrong....and it was refreshing! The experience was efficient and very FAST. I love my coffee maker and was so glad I didn't have to live without it long. Thanks for a great experience!"
A.K., NC

"I called Customer Service a couple of weeks ago because I was having trouble with coffee coming out of the nozzles on my Ultima slowly. I wanted to write and tell you how excellent your customer service rep was. Unfortunately, I didn't write his name down, so can't remember who I spoke to! He very patiently talked me through cleaning the machine (something I should have been doing, obviously). At no time did he act annoyed -- even though it was my fault the machine wasn't working properly. The machine is now working perfectly. As I'm sure you know, customer service today is practically nonexistent and it was such a pleasure to speak to someone who actually provided excellent service. I hope if you can't determine who I spoke to that you will let the reps know that I appreciated the service. Based on my experience with this call I will always buy Capresso."
S.P., CO

"Just wanted to let you know that Heather (last name unknown) was very pleasant in resolving my repair order. There was also a male involved in the beginning who was very helpful as well. I think his name was Brad but that could be wrong.
M.D., GA

"I would like to say thank you to Dan for helping me resolve my problem with my previous order. Because of people like him that can handle problems with the right approach, your company will be very successful."
P.G., MA

"Thank You doesn’t seem like a strong enough statement for how I feel about you guys, the performance far exceeded my expectations." M.C., FL

"In this day and age, most companies take their customers for granted -- you and the entire Capresso management team should feel proud that your organization operates in a manner which bucks this unfortunate trend."
C.K., PA

"How refreshing to get a personal response to my registration card and comments... I will certainly recommend your product."
J.F., SC

"Congratulations on your customer service! I left a message today and received a call back within the hour. In the meantime I had ordered the spare part Ineeded using the web site (also easy). Your product (Burr Grinder #551) also works great Thank You.
T.N., NY

"I spoke to one of your customer service people today and she was a delight. Not only did she help me with the problem I had, but she did it in such a wonderful way I did not get her name, but she made me even happier I purchased one of your products the Ultima. Thanks again for having a great staff of support people, it is really refreshing, and work with Capresso personnel."
E.A., NJ

"I am a longtime Capresso fanatic. Yours are the only products that I will purchase for great coffee. Recently my CoffeeTec was leaking from under the water dispenser. I sent the maker to you for repair and I believe a new base unit was returned to me. Your company is without a doubt the best company to do business with and the bonus is the products are great too!! You have my undying loyalty along with the loyalty of my parents, my kids, some of our friends and anyone else I can convince to try your products. Thanks for being you!!"
C.C., AZ

"I want to commend Colleen at your Customer Service Center who was extremely professional, polite and helpful with my request for a replacement drip stopper. As I told Colleen, I don't mind spending the extra dollar when I know that I will get such superb service. Please let this young lady know that she is an outstanding representative for you."
M.P., PA
