Capresso CoffeeTEAM Therm
Page 2
If you read my previous review of the Capresso Infinity Burr Grinder I mention that coffee beans that are ground in a blade grinder will heat up and lose the fresh aroma and taste of the coffee. The freshest coffee comes from fresh roast coffee beans and fresh ground coffee, ground right before you brew the coffee.
Using fresh cold water and a clean coffee maker helps for fresh good tasting coffee but I have read from many, many sources on the internet that the best coffee comes from good fresh ground beans. Brewing right after you grind the beans makes for the freshest and best tasting coffee that will not be bitter or burnt tasting.
The CoffeeTEAM Therm has a conical filter for better even dripping and the basket this sits in is spring loaded and springs to the brewing position. To brew the coffee you clean out the basket from the previous use, it says this several times in the instructions but I am sure it is a great reminder.
When you push the filter basket to the grinding position it will click in with a latch that is controlled by the programming of the coffee maker. When your coffee is brewing either on automatic using the clock or by brewing now it will latch and unlatch by the program. You can release the latch by pushing down on the pivot point as long as the coffee maker is not in a grind cycle.
You can brew coffee in two ways, by the program method or by brewing now. The program sets up a clock and the time you want to brew the coffee that is also used for the brew it now medthod. There are a few steps to program the clock and coffee maker to set your time, strength of coffee and the amount.
