If you drink filter coffee, our fully automatic, bean to cup Professional Grind & Brew Plus is the perfect machine. It produces the ultimate filter coffee by freshly grinding your beans, with its built-in burr grinder, before brewing. The built-in burr grinder presses the beans between its plates, for a perfectly even grind, extracting maximum flavour, without causing friction, which can affect the taste of your coffee. With the Professional Grind & Brew Plus, all you need to do is add the amount of water for the number of cups you want to make, from a minimum of 2, up to a maximum of 12. Add your choice of fresh beans and select the strength of your coffee from the mild, medium or strong settings. You also have the option to use pre-ground beans, if you prefer. The machine is fully automatic and will grind just the right amount of beans, to the perfect consistency, before brewing up to 12 cups of coffee, for you to enjoy throughout the day. The double walled, thermal carafe will keep your coffee warm and fresh for hours. Fully programmable, you can have fresh coffee waiting for you in the morning or ready to be poured after a dinner party. There is no need for paper filters, as a professional gold tone filter is included, along with two charcoal filters. These are used to purify your water and help stop the build-up of limescale. Clean up is easy, as the bean hopper and carafe are both dishwasher safe.
