I received this as a Chirstmas gift, I could not fathom spending this amount of money on something for myself. At any rate, I love coffee, espresso and all other coffee flavored drinks so trust me when I say,
"this was a wonderful surprise" for a true coffee lover. In the long run, not only was I worth the price, but it has actually paid for itself with the money I have now saved not going to coffee houses, @ $5.00 and up per cup, and for a much better cup than those they were selling. This is definitely for the coffee lover, not occassional drinker, who has everything else. Oh! space helps too, it not a small item. Extremely well packaged, dependable, and sturdy. FYI. I waited a year and a half before leaving this review, I received it Dec.25, 2008. Used everyday, multiple times per. The filters are a bit expensive but you get a good length of time on them, the can be purchased cheaper online and in bulk.

I've owned an F8 for some time and just shipped it off for it's third repair. I follow all cleaning instructions and it still fails. So far I've spent $610 dollars on repairs for the same failure. $150 the first time, $225 the second time and $235 this time. Capresso has not responded to my emails on this machine, they have never provided information on what part keeps failing and they have an ever increasing standard charge for any repair.

If you make on cup of coffee per week, this is the machine for you. If you make 4 cups per day, plan on paying and paying and paying.
