Man do I love my Capresso drip coffee maker. My Capresso needs filters. That's fine. I'd give it gold bullion if it asked...
Since they are not made of gold, these filters get a 4 for price being a bit too high.

As much as I love Capresso products - this one is questionable.

You might wonder what I mean by this - well, first of all look at the costs for just three filters. Second: If you use these filters as recommended on the package (60 uses or 6 weeks) then just do the math.

Yes, you will pay in one year more than the cost of your coffee maker. I have a Capresso coffee maker that cost over $200 and I love it but cannot afford these filters.

To beat this unnecessary filter and its expense, this is what you do. Simply use filtered water. Quality filtered water will be without all the particles and contaminants that will hurt your coffee maker. Then, follow the coffee maker's instructions regarding its cleaning - like using white vinegar to keep the system free of harmful calcification.

Manufacturers are in business to make money and they will sell you whatever you believe you must buy - these filters are not necessary!

They work as designed. We have an old KitchenAid coffee maker and they work fine.

This item is a perfect fit for my capresso machine. My model # is 448. It makes the coffee taste better, removing some bitterness I was tasting from the water before.

I'm not aware of any other filters that will fit the Capresso - except these.. I've puchased them many times before and I have never had a issue with poor quality or breakage. Expensive, but worth it.
