The Capresso MT500 introduces the concept of a stainless-steel-lined heating system, which eliminates contact with aluminum, thus dramatically reducing the need to decalcify, or clean, your coffee maker. The Capresso MT500 is handsomely constructed from a high-gloss aluminum alloy that looks like polished stainless steel, but is designed to hide fingerprints and keep its luster. Black trim accentuates the unit’s smart appearance. The MT500 comes with a 10-cup stainless-steel insulated thermal carafe, which keeps coffee warm for several hours. This unit also comes with all the usual bells and whistles. It has a smooth touchpad control panel, a digital clock/timer that enables you to preprogram the brewing time, a charcoal water filter to remove chlorine and impurities, a pause-to-serve function, a permanent gold-tone filter, a 3-5 cup setting for smaller batches, and automatic shutoff. One design element to note: The MT500 is quite tall--standing more than 13 inches--so be sure to measure your available space before making a purchase.
