Product Description The original Capresso CoffeeTeam coffee maker was an instant huge success as the first and only grind and brew coffee maker using a commercial conical burr coffee grinder. The first and only combination grind and brew coffee maker with a CONICAL BURR GRINDER and a stainless steel Thermal Carafe. Just pour in the beans, program the time AND the amount of coffee to be ground… and CoffeeTEAM Therm GS does the rest and keeps your coffee hot for hours without reheating!
Why is a conical burr grinder so important? There are several reasons. First, a conical burr will give a much more even and consistent grind than a whirling blade grinder found in other grind an brews. Evenness of the grind is vital to a good brew. If the grind is too fine, it can turn bitter and if the grind is too coarse, the coffee can be under extracted. If the grind is not even, like a whirling blade grinder tends to produce, you will experience both over extracted bitter components and under extracted bland components to your final brew - less than optimum. The conical burr grinder in the Capresso CoffeeTEAM Therm produces a more even grind for a better brew. Additionally, with a blade grinder, you need to measure and fill the beans each time you want to brew a pot of coffee, since the blade will grind until all the beans in the machine are ground fine enough to pass through a screen into the brew basket. The conical burr grinder in the CoffeeTEAM Therm allows you to program the machine to grind the right amount of coffee for the size and strength pot you desire, using only the appropriate amount of beans from the bean hopper and leaving the rest for the next pot - no more measuring coffee!
Now Capresso innovation doesn't just leave you with great coffee for a few minutes only! Capresso engineers were able to fit a conical burr grinder and a thermal carafe into a coffee maker that still fits under your standard kitchen cabinet. The stainless steel thermal carafe will keep your coffee hot for hours after brewing without using additional heat which can turn your coffee bitter. The best flavor is preserved with the thermal carafe. Not being a company looking for simple gimmicks to sell machines, Capresso also pays attention to the other vital performance features needed to brew a great cup of coffee. For instance, the CoffeeTEAM Therm brews with water over 200 deg F, a temperature recommended by experts for perfect extraction and produces that hot pot of coffee that seems to be elusive in home coffee makers. They also include a gold tone filter which allows more flavor through than a paper filter (you can still use a paper filter if you prefer). As if these state of the art performance features were not enough, Capresso design engineers followed the sleek stainless steel look of the thermal carafe and carried it throughout the machine design with stainless accents and just the right curves to make a stunning design impact in your kitchen. After all, a great coffee maker should not only brew outstanding coffee, but also look great doing it! The Capresso CoffeeTEAM Therm is destined to be another instant classic from Capresso, the company that consistently wins awards and recognition for bringing you the finest coffee and espresso brewers available.

The CoffeeTEAM GS lets you program the amount of coffee you want to grind: choose from 2, 4, 6, 8 or 10 cups and select mild, regular or strong. The coffee filter holder stays inside the machine during grinder preserving more aroma and reducing mechanical movements. 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 uses solid steel conical burrs, the same as found in our automatic coffee centers. 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). 6 ounce bean container.
Direct-feed technology accommodates a more compact design while keeping moisture away from the grinder. The CoffeeTEAM GS grinds the programmed amount of beans directly into the filter and then automatically initiates the brewing process.
