Celebrate National Coffee Month in August by upgrading your drip coffee maker to the Capresso MT600, a 10-cup programmable coffee maker with thermal carafe. A better coffee maker is an investment that improves quality of life 365 days a year.

Here are pointers from Capresso on what to look for in an upgraded drip coffee maker:

Faster Brew – For coffee with maximum flavor and aroma, the coffee maker needs to brew fast. The MT600 brews 10 cups in just under 8 minutes, the optimal speed for great-tasting drip coffee.

Compact Design – Want more countertop space? The MT600 features a small footprint and compact design.

Thermal Carafe – Keep coffee hot without "cooking" it on a burner. The MT600 stainless steel thermal carafe, with a brew-through closed lid and drip-free spout, keeps coffee hot for hours.

Convenience Features – Permanent GoldTone coffee filter, concealed cord storage, safety auto shut-off, easy-to-read external water level indicator, and charcoal water filter that removes up to 82 percent of impurities from tap water.

Programmable Clock/Timer – Look for an advanced illuminated LCD display with soft-touch controls. Program the MT600 to brew right before you get up.

Drip Stop - Can't wait for that first cup? The MT600's Drip Stop lets you interrupt brewing to pour a perfect cup without making a mess.

Small Cup Setting – Don't need a full 10 cups? No problem, the MT600 has a special setting for maximum aroma for 3 to 5 cups.

The Capresso MT600 10-Cup Programmable Coffee Maker with thermal carafe has an actual retail price of $139.99 and is sold at specialty and online retailers, including Sur La Table (www.surlatable.com or 800-243-0852) and www.amazon.com.
