Features and Benefits:
An Italian Barista
At your fingertip: Fancy a coffee? Push a button! By doing so, the machine will automatically grind the right amount of coffee, tamp it, brew it and dispense the used grounds into a dump box.
Pump System: The Caffè Charisma features a powerful pump, rated at 15 bars (217.6 psi) of pressure. The Italian coffee making tradition requires a steady pressure to produce first-class espresso and coffee. Only in such a way the water can plow through the finest coffee grounds, for the perfect extraction.
Conical Burr Grinder: The Caffè Charisma has a built-in conical burr grinder with eighteen different levels of grinding (0-fine, 18-coarse). Each burr is made of high quality tempered steel, which is meant to last the lifetime of the machine, with little maintenance required.
Saeco Opti-Dose adjustable
Dosing feature: The Opti-Dose system will allow you to change the amount of ground coffee used for each beverage from 6 to 9 grams. By adjusting the amount of ground coffee you will be able to change the flavor and taste of your coffee, from weak to strong, without changing the amount of water used to brew the coffee.
Programmable beverage Volume: The Caffe Charisma is designed with two programmable brew buttons. To program, simply push one of the two and hold it until you have the desired amount of espresso in your cup. Then release the button: from that point on the machine is pre-programmed to dispense the same amount of espresso each time you press the same button. If you want a double espresso, just push the button twice, and the machine will automatically brew two shots of espresso.
Adjustable Cup Dispensing Head: The dispensing head can be easily raised or lowered to adapt to your size cup. Small 4 oz espresso cups up to large 8oz coffee cups can fit easily under the adjustable dispensing head.
Saeco Aroma System Thanks to this feature, it is possible to taste the full aroma of the coffee beans in every cup. It consists of a pre-brewing cycle, in which the coffee grounds are dampened for 2 seconds, so that they swell and their aroma can spread fully. Once brewed, all the aromatic substances of the coffee are directly poured into the cup, giving a perfect cream and typical intense taste.
Saeco Easy
Clean System: The heart of the Caffè Charisma: the patented removable brewing unit. This is the device that allows the machine to work automatically. Here is where the coffee extraction takes place. The patented brewing unit can be extracted at the push of a button, for convenient rinsing and chemical free cleaning. The brewing unit is exclusive proprietary Saeco technology and one of the things that has made Saeco world leader in fully automatic coffee machines.
Rapid Steam: The Rapid Steam feature allows you to steam or froth milk with no waiting time after brewing your espresso. The Caffè Charisma heats water for coffee or generates steam in less than 10 seconds. Such technology provides long running steam to froth milk as long as there is water in the water tank.
Steam and Hot water wand with Exclusive Pannarello Frothing device: The Caffe Charisma has a steam wand located on the front of the machine, which will also produce hot water for tea or any other hot water drinks. The Pannarello allows easy frothing and perfect foam with no hassle.
Pre-ground Bypass Doser: Need a decaf coffee? Fret not, because the pre-ground bypass allows you to use ground coffee. You can brew decaffeinated or flavored coffee without having to change the beans in the bean hopper.
Removable Water Reservoir: The Caffè Charisma makes it easy to refill the water reservoir either by allowing you to add water while still on the machine, or by removing it. The reservoir is made of clear ABS plastic, through which you check the level of water left in the tank. When the reservoir runs out of water, a light indicator will turn on in the front panel. The machine will stop brewing when it runs out of water.
Swivel Base: A swivel base has been placed on the base of the machine to simplify even further general maintenance and cleaning. The unit will turn from side to side with a light push for easy accessibility of all the components.
Specs:
Internal Dump Box For used Coffee: The dump box is where the machine stores the used coffee grounds. Once full, a light indicator will inform that it needs to be emptied. Slide the box out, discard the used coffee pucks, clean the container, just rinsing it under warm water, place it back and the machine is ready to go again.
Slide Out Drip Tray: A single drawer comes out from the front of the machine. The drawer contains the cup tray and a drip pan. Made of durable plastic, it cleans easily in soap and water. Not dishwasher safe.
