Some would say it’s about time. That old drip coffee maker could use some new tweaks, not to mention a facelift. In fact, the design of an automatic drip coffee machine hasn’t changed much in a decade. A glass carafe, digital timer for automatic turn on, and lots of plastic has traditionally been the recipe for an inexpensive yet functional coffee machine.

But 2006 is shaping up to be the year of the drip coffee machine. This year, Closter, NJ-based Capresso Inc. has introduced a new drip coffee machine designed to turn the usual suspects on their heads.

The Capresso Coffee Team Therm distinguishes itself by being the first coffee maker that includes a conical burr grinder which grinds beans directly into a reusable Gold Tone filter.
