Does coffee making feel like a daily grind? The Profi-Coffee Center is a built-in coffee maker that is totally automated, all stainless steel and self cleaning. It doesn't just make coffee (and Cappuccino, Lattes and Espressos), it has an internal professional-grade coffee grinder.

"Touch-Me" control pad technology allows you to design (and re-create) your own custom cup of coffee. Instant hot water is supplied by two internal heating units. The Coffee Center can be ordered with a water kit (reservoir) or plumbed into existing lines. MSRP is $2,750 (November 2004).
