Coffee Machines 85: Capresso 454 CoffeeTEAM-S Coffee Maker/Burr Grinder Combination Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
We bought one, loved it and after several years bought a new one. Also, bought one for my Mother-in-Law, Sister-in-Law and Aunt. The digital readouts on all four machines have broken within 6-18 months. Capresso says we can send the machines in for repair at a cost of around $100.

Four out of four machines bought at different times tells me that this is a design flaw. Capresso clearly knows about this, but is unwilling to fix the problem. By the way, this only seems to apply to newer machines with the orange/red backlight.

Product Description

The only combination machine with a Conical Burr Grinder! Just pour in the beans, program the time and amount of coffee to be ground¿and CoffeeTEAM-S does the rest! Only CoffeeTEAM lets you program the amount of coffee you want to grind: choose from 2, 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 uses solid steel conical burrs. The slow grinding of the burrs imparts minimal heat, preserving more aroma than blade grinding. It also allows for a finer and more uniform grind than combination machines with a blade grinder. Grinding and brewing are separated, keeping moisture away from the grinder. The CoffeeTEAM grinds the programmed amount of beans directly into the filter. Then the filter automatically swings back and the brewing process begins.
