The coffee team gs uses the same solid steel conical burrs as found in high-end automatic coffee machines. The slow grinding of the burrs imparts minimal heat, preserving more aroma than blade grinding for a finer, more uniform grind. The coffee team gs lets you program the amount of coffee to grind: choose from 2, 4, 6, 8, or 10 cups and select mild, regular, or strong. The coffee filter holder stays inside the machine during grinding, preserving more aromas and reducing mechanical movements. You can also program two completely different settings, one for manual operation and one for automatic operation.
