Amazon.com Product Description
With over 60 square inches of 24-karat gold-plated front panels, a high-polished ebony satin finish, and titanium-coated GoldTone accents, this limited-edition espresso machine majestically honors Capresso's 10th anniversary. The unit's front panels are specially treated to protect the gold plating from steam and hot water, while its die-cast coffee spout and stainless-steel grid finished in titanium GoldTone provide a striking look and long-lasting durability. The espresso machine is designed with high-gloss black operating buttons with GoldTone imprints and behind its pullout tray is a laser-engraved limited-edition number from 001 to 555.
Combining dramatic aesthetics with advanced technology, the fully automatic machine grinds, tamps, brews, and steams with the touch of a few icons on the control panel. Its commercial-grade, solid-steel conical burr grinder provides six fineness settings, and the unit can be tailored to specific tastes for coffee strength, water amount, temperature, and steam quantity. The unit features a 15-bar pump and a single 1450-watt ThermoBlock heating unit, as well as a pre-brew system that moistens and conditions grounds for maximum aroma and flavor. A dual Frother Plus comes installed and a frothXpress Plus is included. Other handy extras include an illuminated cup area, an adjustable coffee spout, and a multi-language display. Self-maintenance features include automatic rinsing, cleaning, and de-calcifying functions. The bean tank stores 7 ounces and the 64-ounce water tank is easy to fill.
Two Claris water filters and six cleaning tablets, along with a special limited-edition commemorative certificate, are included. A free coffee coupon is also included for up to six 8-4/5-ounce bags of Capresso's Grand Aroma coffee beans with the choice of regular, decaf, and espresso roast. Measuring 11 by 16 by 12-1/2, the commemorative espresso machine carries a one-year limited warranty and comes with special customer service, which includes two free maintenance schedules within the first five years.
