COFFEE BEANS AND THE BUILT-IN BURR GRINDER
Grinding the beans just before brewing will maximize the flavor and aroma of your coffee. Conical burr grinders are considered the best way of grinding beans. The slower grinding speed of the conical burrs creates less heat thus preserving more aroma of the ground coffee. Following the recommendations below will make your coffee taste better and your machine last longer.
FEATURES AND BENEFITS OF THE COFFEETEAM
- After grinding, the CoffeeTEAM automatically starts the brewing process.
- Drip-stop function lets you pull out carafe and serve a cup or two before brewing is finished.
- CoffeeTEAM GS, #464 (glass carafe): Warming plate keeps coffee hot for 2 hours, then the warming plate shuts off.
- Easy to read LCD display with AM/PM clock and auto-on programming.
- Machine can be used with or without grinder to accommodate pre-ground coffee.
- Heavy duty, conical burr grinder delivers slow, precise and no-heat grinding to preserve natural coffee bean aroma.
- Grinds directly into filter holder.
