Welcome and Thank You
Thank you for choosing the CAPRESSO MT500. Your new MT500 is the only
coffee maker on the market with a stainless steel-lined heating element eliminating any contact with aluminum. It reduces decalcification dramatically. Its
unique alloy body gives it unsurpassed stability. The specially treated surface is
easy to clean and will keep its luster for many years. The charcoal water filtration indicator takes the guess work out of replacing the charcoal insert at the
right time. The stainless steel thermal carafe will keep your coffee hot for up to
4 hours. The auto shut-off turns the heater off 2 minutes after brewing is finished.
Please read all operating instructions before using your MT500.
Understanding
the machine is utilized without risk and to ensure safety during operation and
maintenance.
