Featuring a built-in conical burr grinder and a stainless steel thermal carafe, the Capresso CoffeeTEAM TS 10-cup Digital Coffee Maker is the most compact and convenient coffee maker/conical burr grinder combination on the market.
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.

Fantastic on paper, mixed results in actual usage… Let me start by saying that I’ve been a big fan of grind and brew coffee makers. I know full well what to expect. My last grind and brew was a Cuisinart DGB-550 which means I was already accustomed to cleaning 7 different parts every time I made a pot of coffee and having my cats run for cover when the grinding began. The Cusinart had served me well for over a year but I really wanted something with a thermal carafe and I was excited for the prospect of a burr grinder. On weekends it can take me hours to drink a pot and I hated having my coffee cook during that time. Not to mention the wasted electricity while keeping that carafe piping hot for hours.PROS====1) Conical burr grinder. The burr modules spin at lower speeds than standard burr grinders, imparting less heat to the beans.2) SUPER easy clean up. I don’t think anyone can beat this model when it comes to clean up. Just 4 parts — 3 if you use paper filters. The carafe, carafe lid, basket…
Simply Awesome – So Far Let me start by qualifying my comments, not that they are any more valid than anyone else but, I’m VP of R&D for a high end hobby company. I develop products for a living and I’m very critical of poor designs.That said, the Capresso 465 arrived at my office earlier today so, I unpacked it and took it for a spin. It would have shipped back the same day if it didn’t pass muster but, I took it home at lunch and it’s on my counter, set up, filled, and programmed to make coffee tomorrow morning.The guys and I evaluated the machine and the overall design quality, materials, and construction are quite good. We cleaned it up a little and then brewed a pot of coffee. The maker worked flawlessly and the coffee was excellent. We grind beans and use a Bunn at the office so, myself and the guys are more than just coffee drinkers.OK, to keep things brief, the best feature is the simple and elegant design that makes using and clean up about as simple as it…
