QUESTIONS?
Q: There are machines out there with pre-packed espresso pods and capsules. Isn't this even more convenient?
A: Pre-packed coffee is definitely very convenient. However, the cost of the pre-packed coffee is often two to three times higher than ground coffee. So, if you make 4 drinks a day, you spend anywhere from $250 to $350 more per year just on coffee. Pre-packed coffee portions might not be available in your preferred roast or flavor. Pre-packed coffee pods lose flavor much faster than coffee beans. Finally, with the Capresso "Ultima," you can adjust the amount of coffee to the strengths you want.
Q: Can I make a regular cup of coffee?
A: Yes, we call it "Crema Coffee." Just put a large cup underneath the double pouring spout, fill one to two scoops of your preferred coffee into the brewing chamber and brew approx. 8 oz. of coffee. Pressured brewed coffee tastes completely different from drip coffee. The main reasons are that the brewing time is much shorter and flavor and aroma are extracted under pressure.

Automatic Tamping for perfect
Crema Espresso
Tamping (packing the coffee) is one of the
crucial steps when making espresso. The Capresso Ultima does it by itself, all
the time. Just fill your ground espresso coffee in the machine, and turn and
close the lever. When you turn on the pump, the brewing chamber automatically
seals itself so that all the water is forced through the coffee, resulting in
wonderful, thick crema espresso with a wonderful aroma.

Where Does The Used Coffee Go?
When you finish brewing your
espresso, turn off the pump, lift the lever, and swing it around. At the
same time the used coffee is automatically discharged into an internal
container. When the internal container almost full (it will hold more
than 20 used coffee portions) an indicator light reminds you to empty
the tray and the box. Just pull out the complete drawer and remove the
coffee. Rinse the drawer and you are ready for the next twenty servings.
No other espresso machine is easier to clean. You can even clean the
inside of the brewing chamber.
