Capresso Coffee Makers and Espresso Machines

Capresso­ coffee makers, manufactured since 1994, have a reputation for performance and reliability. The company offers a collection of coffee makers with a brand name derived from two words, "cappuccino" and "espresso." Staples® offers an inventory of these break room and home brew devices along with cups, coffee beans, and other accessories.

Compare Types of Capresso Coffee Makers
Travelers and users who want to keep coffee with them at all times can brew coffee using the single-cup coffee pot. The coffee brews in less than 4 minutes and directly into a stainless steel, 16-ounce travel mug. Users can also place a favorite personal cup that measures up to 7 inches tall on the unit. Drip models include 24-hour programmable settings, so users can wake up to freshly brewed coffee any time of the day. The brew capacity for these models is 10 to 12 cups with a mid-cycle, interrupt feature for fill-ups.

Specialty brewers, designed to reduce the grinding speed, take the guesswork out of making coffee. A reduced speed preserves the aroma of the beans to improve and enhance the coffee's flavor. The oily-bean setting allows darker roasts to feed slower into the grinder, which contributes to tastier cups of java. The brewer automatically cleans the grinder chamber after each use, so users have more time to relax.

Enjoy Convenient Features of Capresso Coffee Makers
Models with electronic charcoal filters track the number of pots brewed. An indicator light alerts users when it's time to change the filter, so coffee always tastes fresh. Removable water tanks and bean containers lift out easily for cleaning and refilling. Coffee makers equipped with bean containers have rough surfaces to help beans feed through smoothly, cutting down on jams and clogs. Each container has a lid to sustain the original freshness and flavor of the beans. The automatic shut-off feature eliminates users worrying about potential fires or burned liquid. Users can stop by the pot for a refill and resume their regular, daily activities.

How Do Built-In Burr Grinders Work on Capresso Coffee Makers?
These grinders have two plates, referred to as burrs, which grind coffee into small particles. Most of the coffee makers include fineness settings for selecting a preferred coarseness of the beans. Users choose a coarser grind for dark beans and a finer composition for light-colored beans.

What Types of Carafes Are Available for Capresso Coffee Makers?
Buyers can choose thermal-insulated carafes, vacuum sealed to retain freshness and temperature. The carafes help the hot beverage taste the same each time. Glass flasks feature ergonomic handles with spouts designed for drip-free pours to eliminate messy tables and mishaps.

Do All Coffee Beans Work in Capresso Coffee Makers?
A Capresso coffee maker works with or without the grinder and adapts to any pre-ground coffee or flavored coffee beans. Users can brew the coffee they already like without switching to another brand. Capresso beans are available in regular, decaffeinated, and espresso roast varieties. These Capresso beans, manufactured with the benefit of Swiss technology, have a smooth taste when brewed.
