FEATURES AND BENEFITS OF THE CoffeeTEC
• 10-cup coffee maker with stainless steel vacuum carafe keeps coffee hot for up
to 4 hours without reheating. (A full pot of coffee is more than 180˚ F after brew-
ing, and more than 160˚ F after 4 hours.)
• Carafe lid is closed during the brewing process, preventing aroma and heat loss.
Since lid is closed, carafe can remain on the platform after brewing has finished.
• Safety push button swing-out filter prevents accidental opening.
• Drip-stop allows you to pour a cup of coffee while brewing.
• Removable filter holder for easy cleaning.
• Fast brewing process allows you to brew 10 cups of coffee in under 8 minutes.
(Remember the shorter the brewing time, the less bitter your coffee tastes.)
• Illuminated digital programmable clock/timer displays the time and allows you to
program the coffee maker to make coffee anytime you want.
• Five signal lights indicate the status of your CoffeeTEC.
• Removable water container has cup markings and two water compartments for
coffee and steam. Automatically fill water for brewing coffee
and
frothing milk, or
just fill water for frothing milk.
• Patented frothXpress System instantly delivers hot milk or milk froth for up to
8 regular cappuccinos at a time, directly into your coffee mug or cappuccino cup.
No frothing pitcher needed, no waste of milk, simply the fastest way to produce
frothed milk.
