Amazon.com Review
The Impressa F90 from Jura-Capresso combines fine-coffee know-how with touch-screen technology, an Aluframe structure, and honest-to-God Internet connectivity. Like Jura-Capresso's other top-of-the-line models, the Impressa F90 is fully automatic. It grinds, tamps, brews, and steams with the touch of a few icons on its control panel. Designed with both exacting standards and user preference in mind, the machine is pre-programmed at the factory for excellent results. It can also be tailored to your specific tastes for coffee strength, water amount, temperature, and steam quantity. You can also customize the separate hot water function for bespoke cafe americanos. Purchase Jura-Capresso's connectivity kit separately and you can even store individual coffee-drinkers' preferences in the F90's electronics. Built for power, the F90 uses a 15-bar pump and a single 1450-watt ThermoBlock heating unit lined in stainless steel for a flavor-neutral, corrosion-resistant structure. The six-stage conical grinder, also made from stainless steel, delivers consistent results, while the patented brewing unit creates the ideal pressure conditions for perfecting crema. A pre-brew system moistens and conditions grounds for maximum aroma and flavor. The F90 has several self-maintenance features, including automatic rinsing, cleaning, and de-calcifying functions. Other handy extras include an illuminated cup area, adjustable coffee spout, and multi-language display. The water tank holds 64 ounces, while the bean tank stores 7 ounces. Designed for the countertop, the machine measures 11 by 16 by 12-1/2 inches. --Emily Bedard

 Expensive, but solid value for my money October 11, 2008

I've had an F9 for about 4 years now and have used it almost daily with no problems. Recently, it had become so sluggish something had to be done (intermittent error code). Assuming it just needed to be cleaned I dug-in and quickly discovered I was in over my head - I can fix most things, but this machine is complex and quite a piece of engineering. I've not had a lot of success with repairs of this type, but thought I'd give it a go before it became junk. I stuck it back together and made a call. Repair center tells me $250 bucks fixes anything, they pay all shipping (we live in Hawaii and shipping can be an eye opener). Not expecting much, off it goes. Arrives back at my door in about a month. Have been using it for two months now and it works like new. So... expensive, but great product that is reliable and serviceable. I'd do it again.
 Shoddy quality, horrible customer service June 20, 2008

Capresso appears to have only one Repair Center in all the U.S. (in Pennsylvania), and any repair requires shipping the unit at your expense ($150) and a few weeks waiting for it to be serviced.
Mine broke down several times. Twice from compacted coffee grounds in the grinder, and the last time from a dead water pump -- all within weeks of warranty expiration.
You can get as good or better a cup of coffee from a Senseo. I fell for the hype and the promise of quality from a high price tag, and now I have a very expensive door stop.
Excellent Coffee but a Back Door For Hackers (yes I'm serious) June 18, 2008

This is an attractive and very functional espresso machine with an impressive amount of settings to ensure you get the kind of drink you want out of it. Granted though, it is about $1000 more than other machines that will offer most of the same features and produce similar quality espresso. The only real difference between this model and cheaper models with similar features and quality is the chrome finish and the internet connectivity feature. I have used this machine before, unlike some of the other 1-star reviews. I do like it as an espresso machine I must admit. How can I give it 1-star then? That's because it's an open invitation to identity thieves and hackers.
While an espresso machine that can request maintenance on its own sounds pretty neat, this is actually the source of the 1-star rating I've given it. The internet connectivity feature (which requires software to be installed on a PC on your home network) allows remote hackers to alter settings on your coffee maker. They could change the temperature, flow rates, etc. possibly to the point of damaging the machine. They can also gain remote control of the PC you installed the software on. While this sounds like a fun source of pranks for the hacker, it makes for an over-priced coffee maker that's sounding more and more like a dangerous house-guest.
Leave this Trojan horse outside the city gates and get a more reasonably priced model. It does what it does well, but sadly that includes letting hackers into your kitchen. Consider the same brand's less feature-laden versions for example.

People can compromise your coffee maker and take over your computer as a result. Coffee isn't worth that risk.
