2. HOW DOES IT WORK?
The Home Café™ System uses uniquely formulated coffee blends packaged in single-serving "pods" that are specially designed to work with the Home Café™ system, allowing the coffee to stay fresh while being stored. When you're ready to make a cup of coffee, you simply place the pod into the appliance, choose your settings, and in about a minute you have a fresh cup of delicious, pressure-brewed coffee! To clean up, simply throw away the pod – and there's no pot to wash!

5. IS THE HOME CAFÉ™ DIFFERENT FROM AN ESPRESSO MACHINE?

The Home Café™ System makes delicious coffee, one cup at a time, with little more than the push of a button. You may enjoy a variety of coffee flavors with the Home Café™.
