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.
