06/07/2012Leave a comment

Style and taste are driving forces behind the new Capresso 12-Cup Stainless Steel Coffee Maker (SG120).

This space-saving model offers a 24-hour programmable timer, GoldTone filter, and an Aroma setting to extract coffee’s fullest flavor. At just 6½ inches wide, its compact footprint saves space on the countertop.

Designed to offer the best extraction of flavor and aroma, the Capresso SG120 brews up to 12 cups in less than 10 minutes. A multiple spray nozzle ensures that water is distributed evenly over the grounds, saturating them for maximum brewing quality.

There’s no need to wait for your brew — the drip-stop feature gives you the ability to interrupt the brewing cycle to pour a cup, with no spills.

For an extra flavor boost, the Aroma setting slows down the brewing process to maximize flavor. This is especially helpful to ensure that the best taste is extracted when brewing just a few cups at a time, and it can also enhance the flavor of a full pot.

With the full stainless steel wrapped exterior the space-saving SG120 12-cup coffee maker is a beautiful addition to any modern kitchen.

The newest model in the Capresso line of coffee makers, Capresso SG120 makes a perfect gift for Father’s Day. Click here to learn more and to check out other gift ideas for Dad.
