"Ultima" Model # 121
The new simple way of making Espresso / Cappuccino:
Capresso "Ultima" eliminates all the inconvenient steps of conventional espresso
machines: no more complications with tamping, hot filter holders, or cleaning
and rinsing of sieves. Just fill coffee to your liking (7 to 15 grams) into the
machine, turn and pull the coffee lever down, and switch on the pump. Within
seconds, any size espresso or up to 12 oz. of coffee are ready. The double
coffee spout even adjusts to accommodate different size cups. Then pull up and
turn lever to prepare the next round of espresso. At the same time the used
coffee is automatically discarded into an internal container. Please watch the
video clips to see for yourself how easy it is to make professional espressos.
Tamping
Tamping (packing the coffee) is one of the crucial steps when making espresso.
The Capresso Ultima does it by itself, all the time. Just fill your ground
espresso coffee in the machine, and turn and close the lever. When you turn on
the pump, the brewing chamber automatically seals itself so that all the water
is forced through the coffee, resulting in wonderful, thick crema espresso with
a wonderful aroma.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: There are machines out there with pre-packed espresso pods and
capsules. Isn't this even more convenient?
A: Pre-packed coffee is definitely very convenient. However, the cost of
the pre-packed coffee is often two to three times higher than ground coffee. So,
if you make 4 drinks a day, you spend anywhere from $250 to $350 more per year
just on coffee. Pre-packed coffee portions might not be available in your
preferred roast or flavor. Also, with the Capresso "Ultima," you can adjust the
amount of coffee to the strengths you want.
Q: Can I make a regular cup of coffee?
A: Yes, we call it "Crema Coffee." Just put a large cup underneath the
double pouring spout, fill one to two scoops of your preferred coffee into the
brewing chamber and brew approx. 8 oz. of coffee. Pressured brewed coffee tastes
completely different from drip coffee. The main reasons are that the brewing
time is much shorter and flavor and aroma are extracted under pressure.
