Capresso Coffee Maker

I have the Capresso Coffee Maker. I love this coffee maker and have had it for 5 years now. I purchased it at Williams-Sonoma.

The coffee maker is unique in that it grinds the coffee beans and brews the coffee. Unlike the other grinding coffee makers out there, this coffee maker allows you to store the beans. It only grinds enough beans for the number of cups you are brewing. What a huge time saver! Incidentally, you can designate how strong you want the coffee. The other grinding coffee makers require you to measure out the amount of beans needed for your brew.

The coffee maker makes good coffee. It has a built in charcoal filter which needs to be replaced every couple of months. The strongest setting of the coffee actually makes very strong coffee, which is nice. The coffee maker is attractive as well. I have the black machine. It is shiny black, but does not look as cheap as some of the others. On that note, this coffee maker is not cheap. It is a bit pricey, but not unaffordable. If you are a serious coffee drinker, it is worth every penny.

Lastly, the coffee maker has a timer. We love this feature. At night, we put water in the machine and hit the 'on' button. The next morning, we wake up to the sound of coffee beans grinding and the smell of fresh coffee brewing. Delicious.
