3. Welcome To The Capresso C1300
Thank you for choosing the Capresso C1300. The C1300 can prepare 1 or 2
cups of excellent, professional-quality espresso or 1 or 2 cups of crema coffee at
a time. The unique pre-wetting function ensures optimal coffee extraction. The
C1300 functions fully automatically at the touch of a button. You have the
choice between regular, strong and extra strong coffee to suit your personal
taste. The integrated burr grinder grinds beans to the preferred fineness level.
A separate funnel lets you use ground coffee. The cup size dial lets you choose
any amount of coffee between 1 oz. and 15 oz. The Dual Frother lets you froth
and steam milk for delicious cappuccinos and lattes. It delivers unlimited
amounts of steam. The hot water function lets you prepare tea in seconds.
The stainless steel lined ThermoBlock prevents water from coming in contact
with aluminum and allows you to brew coffee immediately after frothing (no
purging!). The water level and used coffee container are monitored automatically.
Using the enclosed CLARIS water filter cartridge eliminates decalcifying.
3.1 "Crema Coffee" and Pressure Brewing
According to the majority of coffee experts, grinding, tamping and brewing
under high pressure is the ideal extracting process for maximum flavor and
aroma. Your C1300 automatic coffee center will always produce espresso and
coffee with a thick, foamy layer called "crema." The crema traps the fine aro-
matics and the light gaseous flavors that register on the palate. The high pres-
sure and the short brewing time prevent the extraction of bitter oils and release
less caffeine than any other brewing method. You will always make the
absolute freshest and most aromatic cup of coffee. This is the reason why
many European restaurants and hotels serve only fresh pressured brewed
coffee. Experiment with your new machine and prepare yourself the best and
most enjoyable cup of coffee!
