CoffeeTEC

The only programmable coffee maker with built-in frothXpress system.

Quotes from a New York Times Article by Amanda Hesser:

"...After testing the Capresso and Cuisinart, and two other models, one by Krups and one by DeLonghi, the winners and losers separated like oil and water..."

"...Any positive attributes of these first three evaporated as soon as I tried the Capresso CoffeeTEC."

"...The cone filter opens with a button rather than your having to wiggle it out of its slot. The water compartment is a separate carriage with a handle for lifting it out of its cradle and carrying it to the sink (no more pouring water all over your countertop)... and it has an excellent milk frother, which turns milk into that tight, silky cream you seem to find only at cafes. The machine is solid, and all of its parts are well fitted. The thermal carafe has a matte steel vacuum-sealed container that holds 10 cups of coffee. It is short and fat, with a comfortable handle for pouring the coffee and a wide mouth, which makes cleaning the interior possible. And the coffee comes out at 186 degrees, just above the standard."

frothXpress

• frothXpress instantly delivers hot milk and milk froth for up to 8 regular cappuccinos (32 oz.) at a time, directly into your coffee mugs or cappuccino cups. No frothing pitcher needed. Attach cold milk container to the frothXpress and turn the selector switch to steam. In less than 10 seconds, the electronically controlled steam pump dispenses hot milk and froth right into your cup. (see video "Frothing"). Add coffee and your cappuccino is ready.
• The fastest way to produce frothed milk. Comes with its own 32 oz. cold milk container, which can be stored in the refrigerator. An adjustable valve lets you increase or decrease milk temperature.
• Stand-by mode and 2-hour auto safety shut-off. CoffeeTEC will remain in stand-by mode for two hours after coffee brewing is finished so that you can prepare another cup of cappuccino during that time.
• frothXpress for hot chocolate. Fill chocolate milk into milk container and turn to steam. Within seconds, you will have hot chocolate with rich foam on top.
• Easy to clean

How Things Work:

The One Minute Cappuccino Act!

"You jump out of the shower at 7:00 a.m. 10 cups of piping hot coffee are waiting in a sealed double stainless steel vacuum carafe. Place your mug underneath the cappuccino spout and snap in the cold milk container, turn the switch and hot frothed milk is automatically dispersed into your mug, simply add coffee and enjoy it at 7:01! Bravo!"
