Grind and Brew
Feature and Benefits
The CoffeeTEAM TS features a stainless steel thermal carafe to keep your coffee perfectly hot for hours, without reheating. Stainless steel accents throughout the machine make this the most sophisticated Coffee Maker / Burr Grinder combination on the market. The innovative direct-feed technology allows the coffee filter holder to stay inside the machine during the grinding. As a result, aroma is maximized and mechanical movements within the machine are reduced. The compact footprint is a function of direct-feed technology and smart design; the carafe and GoldTone filter are placed under the control panel, and the 6-ounce bean container is tucked into the top back corner. Only the CoffeeTEAM TS lets you program the amount of coffee you want to grind: choose from 4, 6, 8 or 10 cups and select mild, regular or strong. You can even program two completely different settings, one for manual operation and one for automatic operation. This way you always enjoy exactly the same coffee taste. The CoffeeTEAM TS uses solid steel conical burrs. The slow grinding of the burrs imparts minimal heat preserving more aroma than blade grinding. It also allows a finer and more uniform grind than combination machines with a blade grinder. Five fineness settings for light to dark beans let you adjust the grinder to your preferred beans (the darker/oilier the bean, the coarser the setting). The bean container holds up to 6 ounces of coffee. Detachable see-through cover lets you check the flow of the ground coffee and makes is extremely easy to clean the grinder channel AM/PM Programmable Clock/Timer lets you set the time when to grind and brew automatically. The display shows the time, the strength setting and for how many cups the grinder is programmed. Two Mode Settings: BREW (for pre-ground coffee) & GRIND/BREW (for whole bean coffee). Easy to read illuminated LCD display. 10-cup Stainless Steel Carafe. GoldTone Filter (size 4, flat style) included. The CoffeeTEAM TS can also be used with size 4 filter paper. Charcoal water filtration with electronic indicator shows when to replace charcoal water filter. Removes up to 82% of chlorine and other impurities from tap water. Over 200 degrees F brew and up to 180 degrees F coffee temperature in the thermal carafe directly after brewing. Drip Stop and Stop-and-Serve lets you remove the carafe while brewing to serve a quick cup.

All grind and brews are problematic – this Capresso has some nice features I have just ordered my second Capresso 464.05 — in 18 months, hence the three stars. We have owned several blade grind Cuisinarts, 2 Krups (KM700 series) and the Capresso. It’s been our experience that these machines, on the whole–regardless of manufacturer, are trouble prone and last about 2 years. But we love the coffee and the convenience so willing to put up with the expense.Pros of the Capresso – like the Krups, the grinder is not in the same compartment as the water so there…
As good as it gets (in grind&brew) I’m writing from the perspective of someone who has owned more grind&brew coffeemakers than the typical coffee addict. This one is as good a grind&brew machine as anyone makes.First, the negatives:- It is definitely loud and long in grinding, as other owners mention. The burr grinding process is wonderfully consistent compared to blade grinding, but it seems to take forever and the noise is enough to wake up the … sleeping.- It doesn’t have a way to dump out the…
This is the best grind and brew on the market This is the best grind and brew on the market. I tried Krups and Cuisinart, both were far inferior to this model. I bought my first Capresso 5 or 6 years ago and bought a second recently to keep at a vacation house we bought. This model is designed so that the steam does not back up into the grind chamber. This is the most important design issue with grind and brews! Other models, like Cuisinart and Krups, have steam back up into the grind chamber, which requires daily cleaning of wet coffee…
