The space-saving design and the convenience features make it a great choice for residential use and although the price seems a little high, you will see that it is a well-worth investment.

Design

The Capresso 464.05 looks like a black box that holds the 10-cup glass carafe well hidden under the stainless steel digital control panel. The design of this unit has been engineered based on the direct-feed technology that allows the unit to be more compact and keeps the moisture away from the grinder. It measures approximately 9-1/5 x 9-1/5 x 15-1/5 inches and it weighs about 12 pounds, meaning it is not the smallest option that you can find.

On top of it, there’s the 6-ounce coffee grinder that is covered with a detachable see-through lid that allows you to check the flow of the ground coffee and makes it very easy to clean the grinder channel. The large control panel includes all the buttons that allow you to select the functions, as well as a digital LCD screen that displays the time and the selections made.

Brewing Type

This is a versatile machine that offers you plenty of freedom in making your coffee, as it can be used with pre-ground coffee or with coffee beans that it grinds itself directly into the filter. Due to the solid steel conical burrs, the flavor will be more intense and the high 200°F brewing temperature assure the best flavor release.

Performance&Features

This machine comes with plenty of convenience features that make it very practical and easy to use. First of all, it uses a grinding technology based on solid burrs that slowly grind the coffee to maintain more taste than the regular blade grinding. It also lets you choose the amount of coffee you want to grind for 2 to 10 cups and it comes with three aroma choices that deliver three coffee intensities, namely mild regular and strong. Another feature that makes it very versatile and suitable for many tastes is the fineness setting that adjusts the level of grinding to the type of coffee beans that you use. The darker and oilier the beans, the rougher the grinding. It holds the coffee in a permanent Gold Tone filter that is easy to use and clean, and the charcoal water filter removes up to 80% of the impurities in the water.

The fact that the coffee filter holder stays inside it preserves more aroma and reduces the mechanical movements and the two modes of the unit let you choose if you either use ground or beans coffee. It also includes a pause feature that allows you to stop the brewing process and pour a cup of coffee without coffee dripping from the filter, due to the drip stop spout. The glass carafe sits on a coated non-stick warming plate that keeps the coffee warm but make sure that you drink the coffee within 2 hours, otherwise, it will have a burnt taste. The unit can be programmed to start at a precise time that will be displayed on the LCD screen along with the time, grind option, and strength setting. For increased safety and convenience, it will automatically shut off if you don’t use it for 2 hours.

Warranty & Support

The drip coffee machine comes with a limited 1-year warranty for household use, but it is a very durable unit thanks to its manufacturing process and the technologies that it uses.
