Capresso S7 Super Automatic Coffee & Espresso Machine: The S7 Super Automatic is equipped with an 18-bar power pump and a dual, 1250 watt ThermoBlock heating system for fast, continuous operation for that big party, for the office personnel or for light commercial use. Though it comes with five automatic, preset, coffee push buttons, it also allows you to customize each button with regards to the amount of coffee, amount of water and temperature. Program the coffee amount from 5- to 16-grams for each of the five coffee release buttons, and select mild to extra strong. A professional, solid steel conical burr grinder offers consistent results, preserving the fresh aroma of each cup. Six settings allow you to adjust the fineness for all kinds of beans - from light to dark roasts. Beans are stored in the 10-oz. bean container; grind up to 40 portions of coffee before refilling. There's even a separate funnel for pre-ground, decaf or flavored coffees. A two-step, pre-infusion cycle moistens and conditions the ground coffee for maximum flavor extraction with perfect crema topping. Program the water amount for each cup button from 1/2- to 8-oz. per cup (max. of 16-oz. for the two-cup buttons). With its CLARIS Water Care System, chlorine, lead, aluminum and copper are removed for a better tasting coffee. A special organic additive removes almost all carbon and eliminates decalcifying altogether. An electronic CLARIS cartridge change indicator makes sure you always have the best water possible. A 96-oz. removable water container is good for 60 espressos at a time. For dispensing, the height-adjustable coffee spout (from 2- to 5.5-in.) lets you brew into small espresso cups or in your special Latte Macciato cups. You can even fill your 16-oz. commuter mug without spilling. For frothing and steaming smaller amounts of milk (for one or two cups) the Dual Frother Plus is fast and easy to use. It comes with two settings: one for latte (steaming milk) and one for cappuccino (steaming and frothing milk). Immerse the DualFrother PLUS into your milk pitcher and push the permanent steam button for immediate and continuous action. Push again to stop. A height-adjustable, separate hot water spout can be used for a cup of tea or to transform your espresso into a Coffee Americano, from 1- to 16-oz. A cup storage space on top of the machine also acts as a warming plate so your cups stay warm. Other hightlights include an illuminated brewing area, a choice of seven languages, a "Continuous-on" or "Auto-off" from 1/2 hour to 9 hours in one hour increments, an electronic water level sensor and a five-level water hardness selector that corresponds to your water's hardness. Compact in size, the S7 fits neatly under most kitchen cabinets, and comes with an instructional video.
