Caple coffee machines are built-in bean-to-cup machines from the Caple Sense collection. They're for anyone who wants freshly ground coffee from a machine fitted into the kitchen units rather than one taking up worktop space. They all share the same core design and come in black glass, gunmetal or stainless steel, so you can match them to your other built-in appliances. You'll find them under Caple built-in coffee machines too.
The 200g bean hopper feeds a grinder you can set coarser or finer, and the machine brews at 15 bar pressure. You can also use pre-ground coffee when you fancy a different blend. Touch controls with a white LCD display let you choose from five strength settings, three temperatures and five drink volumes, from an espresso up to a mug. There are 30 automatic programmes in all. It can make two cups at once, and a steam nozzle heats and froths milk for cappuccinos and lattes.
The water comes from a removable 1.8 litre tank, so the machine doesn't need a mains water connection, though you'll need to refill it by hand. To keep it working well, you can set the water hardness, it warns you when it needs cleaning and it has a descale programme. A timer can switch it on and warm it up at a set time, ready for the morning.
The features are the same on all three, so the main choice is the finish. Pick black glass, gunmetal or stainless steel to suit the oven or other Caple built-in kitchen appliances it will sit beside.
