Automatic Tamping for perfect Crema Espresso
Tamping (packing the coffee) is one of the crucial steps when making espresso. The Capresso Ultima does it by itself, all the time. Just fill your ground espresso coffee in the machine, and turn and close the lever. When you turn on the pump, the brewing chamber automatically seals itself so that all the water is forced through the coffee, resulting in wonderful, thick crema espresso with a wonderful aroma.

Where Does The Used Coffee Go?
When you finish brewing your espresso, turn off the pump, lift the lever, and swing it around. At the same time the used coffee is automatically discharged into an internal container. When the internal container almost full (it will hold more than 20 used coffee portions) an indicator light reminds you to empty the tray and the box. Just pull out the complete drawer and remove the coffee. Rinse the drawer and you are ready for the next twenty servings. No other espresso machine is easier to clean. You can even clean the inside of the brewing chamber.

Large Removable Water Tank
A 53 oz. removable, see-through water tank lets you prepare up to 30 cups of espresso at a time. You can also leave the water tank in place and just refill the water with any other container.

The new, simple way of making Espresso / Cappuccino:
Capresso "Ultima" eliminates all the inconvenient steps of conventional espresso machines: no more complications with tamping, hot filter holders, or cleaning and rinsing of sieves. Just fill coffee to your liking (7 to 15 grams) into the machine, turn and pull the coffee lever down, and switch on the pump. Within seconds, any size espresso or up to 12 oz. of coffee are ready. The double coffee spout even adjusts to accommodate different size cups. Then pull up and turn lever to prepare the next round of espresso. At the same time the used coffee is automatically discarded into an internal container. For complete list of features see below.

QUESTIONS?

Q: There are machines out there with pre-packed espresso pods and capsules. Isn't this even more convenient?
A: Pre-packed coffee is definitely very convenient. However, the cost of the pre-packed coffee is often two to three times higher than ground coffee. So, if you make 4 drinks a day, you spend anywhere from $250 to $350 more per year just on coffee. Pre-packed coffee portions might not be available in your preferred roast or flavor. Pre-packed coffee pods lose flavor much faster than coffee beans. Finally, with the Capresso "Ultima," you can adjust the amount of coffee to the strengths you want.

Q: Can I make a regular cup of coffee?
A: Yes, we call it "Crema Coffee." Just put a large cup underneath the double pouring spout, fill one to two scoops of your preferred coffee into the brewing chamber and brew approx. 8 oz. of coffee. Pressured brewed coffee tastes completely different from drip coffee. The main reasons are that the brewing time is much shorter and flavor and aroma are extracted under pressure.
