"Where Do I Begin to Tell the Story of How Great a Love Can Be?" Capresso's Coffee Á La Carte

-






Confession:  I was intimidated by this machine.  How could one machine make a single serve cup of coffee, without a K-Cup and brew a carafe of coffee without a filter?

But once I overcame the fear, I was able to push through the process and enjoy the ease, simplicity and fabulous-ity of the Capresso Coffee Á La Carte!

The concept gently compresses the coffee and I found that it can make even a "mediocre" coffee taste better.  AND, it also brews tea!

I've been testing it for a few weeks now, and I couldn't be more pleased.  In fact, I think it's going to be hard to use anything else.

Just when I thought I couldn't love an automatic coffee maker more than my Capresso thermal, Capresso takes it up a notch.
Feature and Benefits
  • Quick-heat pump brewing system can brew first single cup in less than 60 seconds
  • Brews 42 oz. carafe in less than 6 minutes
  • Innovative brewing system adjusts automatically to the amount of coffee in the filter to deliver mild to double strength coffee
  • Completely customizable brewing and size options
  • Programmable small cup, large cup and tea buttons
  • Optimal brewing with wide, maximum saturation and extraction brew head
  • Separate dishwasher safe coffee & tea filters for no flavor exchange
  • Quick brew, rapid steeping tea system
  • Removable 52 oz. water tank
  • Auto shut-off after 2 hours
  • Removable drip tray
  • Dishwasher safe coffee filter, tea filter, glass carafe and drip tray
  • Slim design, less than 7 inches wide


How Things Work
Adjust coffee's strength by adding as much or as little ground coffee to the filter up to 60 grams per cup. Cup platform and carafe are interchangeable to switch from brewing a single cup to full carafe. The quick-heat 2.2 bar Italian-made pump system always brews to the optimal temperature above 200 degrees F.


"(Where Do I Begin?) Love Story" is a popular song published in 1970, with music by Francis Lai and lyrics by Carl Sigman. The song was first introduced as an instrumental theme in the 1970 film Love Story. The lyrics were added after the theme music became popular.
*Capresso provided me with a free Coffee Á La Carte Coffee and Tea Maker for the purposes of preparing this review.

    Love to drink espresso that is made by a special process--forcing hot water through some finely ground coffee--so your regular coffeemaker will not cut it. espresso manufacturers vary from a simple two-chamber pot to totally automatic machines.

It's Not Your Mother's Eight O'Clock Coffee - Columbia Single Serve Cup

You may not have noticed, but Eight O'Clock Coffee (which I used to refer to as Eight O'Clock Bean Coffee) has experienced a new attitude. There's new packaging and now there is even an Eight O'Clock K-Cup(R). I enjoy and delight in experiencing artisan roasted coffee and I can ride the "third wave" as good as the next person, but sometimes I just want to remember the way things used to be. So, the Eight O'Clock K-Cup  is the perfect way to enjoy a coffee that's always had a special place in my heart - but with a new twist. All these new single-serve coffees are making me lazy. But, don't worry, I'm an equal opportunity coffee-lover. Here's to the weekend!

All Time Favorite Coffee Jingles

I have consumed a lot of coffee over the last couple of decades, but it's mainly through "trial and error," "word of mouth," or "pure luck," that I found those I've enjoyed the most. And, of course, the folks who reach out and let me know about the great coffees that are out there. But with micro roasters becoming more and more popular, and grocery store coffee being talked about less, even though many supermarket varieties are very good, I can't help but remember some of those jingles and television commercials that remain etched in my mind. Some of my favorite coffee jingles: "Good to the Last Drop" (TM) (Maxwell House) "Richness Worth A Second Cup" (TM) (Yuban) "The Best Part of Waking Up, Is Folgers In Your Cup" (TM) And, last but not least, drumroll. . . .my all-time favorite: "Fill It To the Rim With Brim" (TM) (Brim Decaffeinated Coffee) (special thanks to my sister for remin...
