frothXpress
- frothXpress
instantly delivers hot milk and milk froth for up to 8 regular cappuccinos
(32 oz.) at a time, directly into your coffee mugs or cappuccino cups. No
frothing pitcher needed. Attach cold milk container to the frothXpress and
turn the selector switch to steam. In less than 10 seconds, the
electronically controlled steam pump dispenses hot milk and froth right into
your cup. (see video "Frothing"). Add coffee and your cappuccino is ready.
- The fastest way to
produce frothed milk. Comes with its own 32 oz. cold milk container, which
can be stored in the refrigerator. An adjustable valve lets you increase or
decrease milk temperature.
- Stand-by mode and
2-hour auto safety shut-off. CoffeeTEC will remain in stand-by mode for two
hours after coffee brewing is finished so that you can prepare another cup
of cappuccino during that time.

chocolate. Fill chocolate milk into milk container and turn to steam. Within
seconds, you will have hot chocolate with rich foam on top.
- Easy to clean (see
video "Cleaning").

How Things Work:
The One Minute Cappuccino Act!
"You jump out of the shower at 7:00 a.m. 10 cups of piping hot coffee are
waiting in a sealed double stainless steel vacuum carafe. Place your mug
underneath the cappuccino spout and snap in the cold milk container, turn the
switch and hot frothed milk is automatically dispersed into your mug, simply
add coffee and enjoy it at 7:01! Bravo!"
Testimonials:
"I
bought your CoffeeTEC approximately one month ago. We keep saying that it's
the worst thing we could have done since it makes it so much harder to get out
of the house in the morning (we sit around drinking our coffee with frothed
milk for way too long!) Anyway, great machine."
T.C., WA
"Our CoffeeTEC, well worth the price tag! It brews the best coffee we've had
at home, and the milk frothing/steaming feature is wonderful."
A.V., MD
"NO way to improve on perfection!"
J.N., IL
"I
just wanted to let you know that I purchased the CoffeeTEC a few weeks ago and

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."
