Coffee à la Carte: Easy as 1-2-3

08/08/2013Leave a comment

Can’t decide what to brew? Capresso’s new Coffee à la Carte gives you options – whether it’s a single cup of coffee or tea, or a full carafe of coffee. It’s the next generation of coffee brewing.

Fast and efficient, it brews a single cup of coffee in less than 60 seconds, and a full 42-ounce carafe in less than 6 minutes, always to the optimal temperature above 200 degrees F. Using the Coffee à la Carte is a breeze, with completely customizable brewing and sizing options. The machine features four presets for Small, Large, Carafe or Tea. Your perfect brew is just a push of a button away.

The innovative brewing system automatically adjusts to the amount of ground coffee in the filter, fully saturating it for the correct amount of time. Adjust the strength of your coffee by adding as little or as much ground coffee in the filter as you like.

While embracing the single-cup phenomenon, it also brings to the table the versatility and convenience of a classic carafe system, as well as tea brewing ability. Entertaining is easy, because brewing 42 ounces of luxurious hot coffee in the glass carafe will help you serve many guests at once.

Tea lovers will appreciate the additional tea filter, to prevent any flavor exchange between coffee and tea. Simply fill with loose tealeaves or a tea bag, and steep a cup of 5 to 10 ounces of your favorite blend.

The Coffee à la Carte is less than 7-inches wide, and the filters, carafe and drip tray are all dishwasher safe for easy maintenance.

Drip Coffee Maker vs. Grind and Brew: Which Home Brewing System is Right for You?

04/25/2013Leave a comment

Capresso offers unique coffee makers for the true coffee lover. Choosing a traditional drip coffee maker or a “grind and brew” model depends on what you’re looking for in your coffee brewing experience.

Capresso drip coffee makers such as the SG120 are perfect for economical coffee drinkers who want a simple yet superior coffee brewing experience. These machines use ground coffee and follow a classic home brewing technique. While simple in design and method, Capresso drip coffee makers never compromise quality and always achieve superior flavor extraction.

Capresso grind and brew coffee makers such as the CoffeeTEAM TS are drip coffee makers with built-in grinders that automatically grind fresh whole coffee beans directly into the filter immediately before brewing. Capresso CoffeeTEAM models ensure the freshest brew and can be programmed 24 hours in advance so you can have fresh coffee when you wake up without having to grind the beans the night before.
