2. Welcome To The Capresso C1500
Thank you for choosing the Capresso C1500. The C1500 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
C1500 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 frothXpress system deliv-
ers unlimited amounts of hot frothed milk or hot chocolate at the push of a but-
ton. 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 the used coffee container are monitored automatically. Using the
enclosed CLARIS water filter cartridge eliminates decalcifying the C1500.
