Capresso On-the-Go Coffee Maker
Capresso On-the-Go Coffee Maker Overview
With a 4 minute brew time and the option to brew into almost any travel mug, the Capresso On-the-Go Coffee Maker is suited for avid coffee drinkers who frequently find themselves on the go but don’t want to sacrifice quality for speed and convenience.
The On-the-Go comes in a sleek, yet simple stainless steel housing and includes a 16 oz stainless steel thermal travel mug that can hold your favorite drink warm long after brewing. If you’d prefer to use your own mug, the On-the-Go is also compatible with most mugs up to 7 inches tall.
Also included is a permanent nylon filter that works with ground coffee or soft coffee pods and effectively eliminates the need for paper filters. The permanent filter is also easily removable and, along with the travel mug and filter basket, is dishwasher safe.
Features and Performance
The Capresso On-the-Go Coffee Maker has a length of 6.5 inches, width of 5.25 inches, height of 12 inches and weighs 3 pounds, making it the perfect choice for homes or offices where counter space is at a premium.
With a stainless steel housing, the On-the-Go not only looks good, it’s also easy to clean and will look and run like new for a long time if properly maintained.
The included stainless steel travel mug matches the stainless steel housing and holds up to 16 oz of brewed coffee and is thermally insulated to keep your brew at the ideal temperature for an extended period of time. For those who would rather use their own mug, the On-the-Go works with mugs with a maximum height of 7 inches.
The On-the-Go boasts a 4 minute brew time, due in large part to its ability to heat quickly to the optimal temperature of 200 degrees Fahrenheit, as well as its large shower head that aids in improved saturation and extraction. As a rule of thumb, fill the mug you plan to use with water and add that to the machine’s water reservoir prior to starting the brewing process.
Up to 6 tablespoons of ground coffee and/or soft coffee pods are compatible with the included removable permanent nylon filter, eliminating the need for paper filters. To lessen the strength of your brew, lessen the amount of ground coffee used, as needed.
For added safety and convenience, the On-the-Go will automatically shut off when finished brewing. The included travel mug, coffee filter and removable filter basket are also all dishwasher safe, ensuring a quick and easy cleanup every time.
Why You Should Get It
For its features, efficiency and price point, the Capresso On-the-Go Coffee Maker is an excellent choice for coffee drinkers looking for a quick, painless and delicious brew from a compact and sleek unit.
For those always rushing from place to place, the On-the-Go boasts a 4 minute total brew time. This is thanks in large part to a short startup time that quickly heats to the ideal brew temperature of 200 degrees Fahrenheit. Also aiding in the speedy brew process is a removable permanent filter that works with up to 6 tablespoons of ground coffee and/or soft coffee pods. This removes the need for paper filters that frequently need to be disposed of and replaced.
As is the case with the On-the-Go’s stainless steel housing, the included 16 oz stainless steel thermal travel mug not only looks sharp, but is also an ideal vessel for those who simply want to brew their coffee and have it stay warm as they start their day. The On-the-Go is compatible with other containers up to 7 inches tall as well for those who insist on using their go-to cup or mug.
When it comes time to clean up, the included travel mug, removable filter and removable filter basket are all dishwasher safe.
