Quotes from the New York Times
Article on June 13, 2001 by Amanda
Hesser:
"...At
the end of 1999, Capresso released
a high-end model with the tight
body and clean lines of a luxury
car."
"...After testing the Capresso and Cuisinart, and two other models, one
by Krups and one by DeLonghi, the winners and losers separated like oil and
water..."
"...Any positive attributes of these first three evaporated as soon as I
tried the Capresso CoffeeTEC."
"...The cone filter opens with a button rather than your having to wiggle
it out of its slot. The water compartment is a separate
carriage with a handle for lifting it out of its cradle and carrying it to
the sink (no more pouring water all over your countertop)... and it has
an excellent milk frother, which turns milk into that tight, silky cream
you seem to find only at cafes. The machine is solid, and all of its parts
are well fitted. The thermal carafe has a matte steel vacuum-sealed container
that holds 10 cups of coffee. It is short and fat, with a comfortable handle
for pouring the coffee and a wide mouth, which makes cleaning the interior
possible. And the coffee comes out at 186 degrees, just above the standard."
