Capresso 153.04 C3000 Automatic Coffee and Espresso Center, with Pump-Auto Cappuccino System Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We have owned several home espresso machines and this is by far the best one ever. The ability to froth milk automatically just before or just after making coffee or espresso is unique. In most other units it's necessary to purge the water system before steaming milk and then purging it again to regain brewing temperature. In this unit you just press the button and frothed milk foams out into your cup, and is pre-programmed to stop at the right moment. The milk unit can be removed and stored in a refrigerator and the parts are easy to clean. It even tells you when to run a cleaning or decalcifying session. Programable in English and several European languages. It's also easy to make hot cocoa by frothing chocolate milk. Electronic controls dose out the amount of coffee or espresso from a short shot of espresso (single or doppio) to a mug of coffee. It turns itself on and off and pre-measures the coffee you grind and the strength of your coffee. This is an electronic wizard that does lots more than brew a great cup of coffee. This is an ideal machine for an office or a household with a big entertainment kitchen.

Saeco Odea Go Fully Automatic Espresso Machine Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)It lives up to the functionality described fairly well. However, there are a couple of things you should know.
1) Even at the full-cup setting, it doesn't really fill up a coffee cup. If you have a large cup, it might fill it up half way, if you're lucky.
2) Due to #1, the picture that shows two cups being brewed is somewhat misleading. The picture would look like the one shown only if the cups were left in place after the first brew cycle in order to run a second brew cycle into those same half-filled cups. This no faster than just brewing one cup and swapping in the next cup for the second brew cycle.
3) There is a low water sensor to let you know you need to fill up the reservoir -- which is good. However, it will stop brewing the instant the low water sensor triggers even if it is in the middle of brewing a cup. This ruins the cup in progress, but to make matters worse, the low water sensor triggers when there is about two cups of water left in the reservoir. There is pleny of water left to finish the currently brewing cup (and probably enough for yet another cup), but the brewing comes to a crashing halt mid-brew. I wish it would perform the low water sensor check AFTER finishing a cup so you know when to refill the reservoir withot ruining a brew cycle (or wasting beans).

Saeco Talea Giro Fully Automatic Espresso/Coffee Machine Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I received my coffee maker and loved it for almost a year, until it stopped dripping the coffee. I had followed all the directions for cleaning and servicing the machine. I called the Arabee company from whom I purchased it.
They promptly made arrangement for me to get it back to them, as it was still under warranty. They have now had it for over 4 months and I can't get a proper response from them. I have been told that it took 6 weeks in the queue to get to service, then they needed a part, which may or may not have had to come from Italy. Now they won't even return calls or answer when I call. The next step, I guess is a legal one to get a new coffee maker or some form of recovery.

De'Longhi ESAM5500M Perfecta Super Automatic Espresso Machine Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Buyer Beware. This machine puts up a good front, however, after about six months it stops working. Cheaply made. Sent off for repairs and after two months it was sent back to me only to work for another two weeks before breaking again. Delonghi seems to be content with having the machine in transit and repair longer than in my kitchen. Very poor product. Very high price. Stick with your local gourmet coffee shop.
Main problems: Milk frother will not work. Leaks water from the bottom of the machine.

Saeco A-IR-Bk Incanto Rondo RS SBS Fully Automatic Espresso Machine, Black Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Either my machine is a lemon or there are some serious design flaws. In short, ours' clogs up very easily. I finally bought Lavazza beans at the recommendation of a Saeco retailer who said that the beans are that much more important with conical burr grinders. At first the lavazza beans seemed to solve the clogging issue but after about 8-10 coffees it happened again. I can't imagine Saeco would intend consumer to clean the brew unit every couple days and not everyone buys the "perfect" gucci italian coffee bean. Also, when my wife set the dial to 7 to make basically a full cup of regular coffee, part of it leaked out the bottom of the machine (it's happened twice now). It's amazing how quickly coffee will stain a countertop if yr not aware the leak is there at first. Needless to say, for marital harmony the machine is going back and I'm going to pop more $ for a gaggia or Jura Capresso. We had a Saeco Royal previous to this one and honestly we abused that machine with oily beans, we didn't clean it often and it just kept on ticking. When the Rondo did brew a shot in the last few weeks of use the coffee was very good with a nice crema. Saeco customer service blamed the clogging on the coffee beans I was using previously (Cafe Vivace - seattle) which I found hard to believe. We have not called them about the leaking as we've just given up at this point. It CAN make good coffee but either there is a serious design flaw, or again, we got the lemon. Just be advised since many of you know how poorly a day can start at 0530 when yr denied coffee.....

Incanto Classic Espresso Machine Silver Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Actually I have this machine. I wrote this below review for older model.I got this machine from ebay because for lower price was available there.
So I have used it already for one month. The espresso is coming out a fabulous, I think better, then Starbucks, even I have used Starbucks beans. I have tried three types of beans (Lavazza, Starbucks, Costco Hawaiian (yellow package) brand), so the best taste and creamy was from Costco Hawaiian brand. Lavazza in other hand was creamy but is not strong enough.
The cleaning is easy and fast. The frothing pitcher is produced good milk for cappuccino. I don't have any problems with this machine.
I have also noticed that me and my family is started consuming more coffee. I last time I have bought Starbucks coffee was just a day before I got this fabulous machine.
Also I will to suggest a follow the user manual and if you don't now something called to CS Saeco[...]
Because remembering, its European product, so it's like a German car- amazing to drive but easy to break, if you're not followed to user manual.
I gave four stars is only because the trash container need to be emptied too often, even the last one was not full and water container I wish will be bigger.

Saeco Talea Touch Super Automatic Espresso Machine Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The Talea Touch makes terrific coffee and has functions that are well thought out and easy to use. The only problem is that they can't make one that works.
I bought mine in Dec. 2009 from Seattle Coffee Gear. By March 2010, I had returned my third defective machine to Saeco. All three had different problems; the first leaked all over the counter when brewing (an internal hose defect), the second could not be programmed or hold a date and time; the third has a steam wand that leaked (poured) water during the brew cycle - enough to fill a shot glass for each coffee made. As of September, I have had to return it two additional times for repairs - a total of 5 times.
Saeco will fix or replace this again but what does that tell you about their QC? Saeco customer service has been helpful and courteous - once you reach them. Be prepared to wait > 45 minutes on their customer support line to reach a human being.
Saeco came highly recommended and it does makes great coffee and lattes when it works. If you like Audi's, this may be the coffee machine for you.
One last note, I have attempted to submit this review many times at Seattle Coffee gear and somehow it never appears on their website.

DeLonghi ECAM23210B Compact Magnifica Beverage Center, Black Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I studied different machines until I was dizzy. The only requirement: It was important to me to have a machine that loaded water from front. When you look at the dimensions, it is not much smaller than others. The product weighs a ton already, and I am happy it is not stainless.. It is reasonably as quiet as a coffee grinder could be and makes beautiful espresso consistently.. The DVD instructions are... well.. instructive.
To decide, ask yourself this question: If you were a smoker would you roll your own cigarettes, or buy a pack to smoke. That is the difference between a manual/semi automatic vs a superautomatic like this one.
You add one feature and the other and then you say do I really need all this?
Set expectations. It comes down to budget, ease of use, and space requirements.
The fact is that it was cyber Monday, I was going to buy a perfecta at a bargain price, the seller ran out, and gave me the compact which was more expensive for half the price. There is concern out there that super automatics in general break easily if you use hard water and don't change the filter. If it works for two years for me, I will be happy. If it breaks, we will be coffee addicts and buy a semi automatic to experiment with our addictive urges.
My smart busy wife pushes one button. She is happy, the whole family is happy.
The product came with a year of free coffee from Illy that was not posted on the merchant's web site ($140 value) :)

Saeco S-TT-ST Talea Touch Super-Automatic Espresso Machine Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Maybe it is a little premature and I admit I was spooked by the negative reviews, but so far I have been very happy with Talea Touch. I bought it refurbished, not from Amazon but from an auction site (you know which one) and took out an extended SquareTrade warranty. It took little to no time to prime the water circuit, make custom adjustments to the grind and strength of the shot but it resulted in amazing espresso. Prior to this, I was using a Starbucks (Saeco) Barista espresso machine with a de-pressurized portafilter along with Ascaso I-mini grinder to make my espressos/lattes/cappuchinos. Despite reading coffeegeek and Home-barista.com, adjusting the grind/tamp/temp surfing techniques, my pulls were still resulting in shots too sour or too bitter. I was considering buying a higher-end espresso machine and PID kit for better temp control, but realized that I was spending way too much time in the morning griding/dosing/pulling and cleaning when I and my wife just want the d*** coffee. Yes, with Talea touch you do have to clean the group head, descale etc. Yes, the water reservoir could be bigger, the milk island could be cheaper (don't have one), the spent water/coffee puck reservoir could be a bit bigger as well... but when it comes to shot quality, it was on par with the shots I had in Italy or local Stumptown. And it takes less than 5 minutes to pull a shot. So far I am very happy with the purchase. Durability remains a concern so I will update the review accordingly.

With 15 bars of pump pressure, this super-automatic espresso machine brews coffeehouse-quality espressos, lattes, and cappuccinos with minimal effort, in just a few minutes. Its innovative brewing system makes it easy to create an infinite variety of coffee drinks from just one machine. Turning the dial either right or left changes the strength and consistency of coffee by increasing or decreasing the water pressure moving through the grounds. The unit's OptiDose system has an adjustable 7- to 10-1/2-gram doser, which regulates the amount of beans to grind per serving, while its aroma system injects hot water into ground coffee to maximize flavor extraction. The unit's user-friendly black-and-white touch-screen technology offers special icons that give clear, instant details for each function. The unit will automatically grind the right amount of coffee, tamp, brew, and dispense used grounds into an internal dregdrawer, all at the touch of an icon.
The machine also provides an adjustable built-in ceramic disc grinder, which delivers a more even grind, allowing for perfect dosing and blending, plus it operates considerably quieter than stainless-steel grinders. Especially convenient if a guest wants decaffeinated espresso, the machine comes with a pre-ground bypass doser. Simply pour the pre-ground decaffeinated or flavored coffee into the pre-ground coffee funnel without having to empty the beans in the grinder.
For added convenience, the espresso machine offers a stainless-steel Pannarello attachment for steaming milk or dispensing hot water, as well as a stainless-steel boiler system with Rapid Steam technology, which means no waiting between frothing milk and brewing espresso. The unit's easy-to-clean system features a patented brew group that can be removed at the push of a button for rinsing and chemical-free cleaning. Other highlights include indicator lights, a cup-warming surface, a removable 57-ounce water tank, a motorized adjustable drip tray, and an Aqua Prima water filter, as well as an adjustable coffee-volume dial, temperature control, an 8-ounce coffee-bean hopper, and a 14-puck used-ground capacity. Housed in a modern two-tone silver-and-titanium design, the 1500-watt super-automatic espresso machine measures 16 by 13 by 14-1/2 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.

Saeco Incanto Deluxe Automatic Espresso Machine, Stanless Steel Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I got this thing 4 days ago when Costco had it on sale. Awesome coffee, whether you just want an Espresso, Latte, Cappucino, or a regular coffee. Easy to use. Not too noisy when grinding, tons of options to program. So, all in all, seems like a great machine. But...I have to say I already had to use their manual pump twice to "ventilate" the system (charging the circuit with water). It is supposed to do this once when installing, and then after a long time of not being in use. Well, I already had to do it twice within 4 days. Worse, it did not do it automatically, so I had to use this 20 cent hand pump that does not properly fit. It's ridiculous, this is a $1,200 machine. I really love the coffee, so I want to believe in it, but if this happens a few more times, I will check with customer service, and if this does not stop I will send it back and get a manual 15 bar one without so much electronic. Too bad though, coffee is really great.

Saeco A-IC-SS Saeco Incanto Classic Super-Automatic Espresso Machine Stainless Steel Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I read reviews of multiple automatic expresso machines (deLonghi, Saeco, Gaggia, etc) and was concerned that most brands tend to have some negative reviews of their selected expresso machine breaking down after some time. Since there was no single review that reports on the reliability of these machines, I decided to take my chance with this expresso machine.
The manual of this expresso maker lacks sufficient instructions. Mine came with the new series Intenza water filter. The instruction, with the new water filter, instructs that the existing small white filter needs to be removed and does not provide instructions on its removal. It is only upon calling Saeco customer service that I understood how the small white filter can be removed. And when necessary, I sometimes called Seattle Coffee Gear, whom I originally bought mine from, who has excellent product expertise and customer service.
Most automatic expresso machines come with plastic parts from in to out. So this machine stands out in that the main body is still made from steel.

This product comes with an inbuilt grinder, with small to coarse grinder settings, and thus making it super-handy (fully automatic!).
I used this machine to brew some Blue Mountain coffee. It came out so rich in aroma and taste. Previously I was using some traditional filter to brew this coffee and was not able to discern the aroma and taste of this Blue Mountain coffee.

And the frother is able to froth the milk with a consistent quality as well. And it comes with the option of hot water as well.
I bought this during Jan 2010, so I can't comment on the reliability as yet. So far I cleaned this up after each use. In case, this machine starts breaking down, I will update my review so that future buyers can be fore-warned.1.5 mths later:
Upon power on, the 2 top & 1 bottom leftmost LEDs started flashing. I referred to the manual and it indicated loading and to wait. After waiting 10 mins and resetting the machine, I still observed the same phenomenon. After some tests, I found that it needed priming. So far this has happened twice in the last 2 weeks and priming solves the problem. Saeco USA needs to improve on their manual instructions !!!

Saeco Stainless Steel Xelsis Digital ID Automatic Espresso Machine Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Let me start by saying this machine is AWESOME. It's so easy to use, and so easy to customize, that everyone here at home is now a coffee (espresso) addict!!!
Pros:
- Amazingly easy to use. Push one button and it'll make your preferred beverage.
- It comes with a milk carafe that's sealable, so you can keep it filled in the fridge
- When you want it, just pick the carafe and attach to the machine. It'll then automatically make your cafe latte, latte machiatto or whatever beverage you prefer...
- You can customize everything. I like a strong espresso, but when drinking a machiatto I only want foam, not milk. It can do that.
- Stainless steel, so it's pretty sturdy. No easy to break plastic parts here.
- It looks great!!!
- It cleans itself (including the milk carafe) so you never get that "old coffee" taste
- It has a separate slot for ground coffee, so my GF can make her decaf at night!
Cons:
- Water tank could be bigger
- It has a drip tray, but it gets full kinda quickly. No biggie since it's easy to empty it though
Overall, it's a GREAT machine. The ease to use makes drinking espresso and lattes a breeze. The fingerprint Id reader is a nice feature, but not a must in my opinion. It's very sturdy and very easy to clean!

Saeco Syntia Stainless Steel Automatic Espresso Machine Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is the first espresso machine I have owned, so I won't be comparing it to other machines. I've had the machine for about 5-6 months now, using it once or twice nearly every day with no problems.
I have been drinking espresso for a long time and I appreciate a well-balanced, properly extracted, silky crema and rich cup of gold. This machine is quick and consistent with every cup. With the touch of a button, you can go from bean to drinking within seconds. I prefer heavy thick espresso, so I keep it at it's finest setting for a powerful cup. There are two methods to set the potency: one to adjust the coarseness of the grind and one to adjust how much to brew in each cup. You can use pre-ground as well, however, I have not tried it.
The steamer works fantastically and takes mere seconds to warm up. The design makes a great foam on top for a perfect cappuccino or latte.
It's easy to keep clean and it is very easy to set up right out of the box. The brushed finish leaves no fingerprints and the steam wand wipes clean with a damp rag very easily.
The machine is built sturdy and is very low profile, which is great for smaller kitchens lacking counter-space. You can adjust the height of the spout for different sized cups. The full operation (grinding, tamping, brewing, and disposing) is not loud at all compared to some machines I have heard.
Since the machine is relatively small in size, it does not hold a massive quantity of beans, the water tank does have to be filled often (but it is very easy to fill), and the waste bucket needs to be emptied after 4-5 uses (easy to dump).
I have nothing bad to say about the design, operation, interfacing, or maintenance of this machine. I highly recommend it to anyone and wouldn't return it for anything. It truly is the best part of waking up!
--Salud!

Saeco Black Focus Automatic Espresso Machine Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This review applies to the steel version as well, except for the aesthetics. The design and layout of this machine has been well-thought out by Saeco. I had a difficult time choosing between the steel and the black version, and ultimately chose the latter because I preferred the contrast of the black and chrome (and it matches my decor better). The set-up of the machine is a bit confusing because there is a small insert paper with instructions that slightly conflicts with the full manual. Perhaps the translation from the original Italian is not entirely accurate. The insert indicated that the supplied intenza water filter must be installed - but this is optional and is not supplied with the machine. So don't waste your time looking for it. Once it is up & running, familiarizing oneself with the meaning of the icons on the LCD is important. Thankfully, Saeco designed the machine with access to the water tank in the front. The spent grounds compartment is also in the front and the beans go in the top. This is important for a compact machine as the potential buyer probably has size restrictions. Some superautos, like the Jura Ena 3/5 have the water tank attach to the back and the Gaggia Platinum I considered has side access.The draw of a superauto is the ability to go from bean to cup with one machine at the push of a button. In this regard, the Syntia performs very well. The bean hopper and water reservoir are small, but if you want any compact machine then this obviously is necessary to retain a small footprint. The espresso the machine produces is quite nice. I choose the strongest setting (3 bean icon) for a dark espresso. I also prefer to produce a double (click twice) rather than a long coffee for a cappuccino so it is not watered down. The machine grinds & brews twice in quick succession when double clicking. I would prefer a more solid feeling (seems to be part steel & part plastic at the top) however it does a surprisingly good job at foaming milk for cappuccino. The foam I've produced is slightly too stiff & aery - but I think it is more a technique issue at this point. Hopefully with practice I'll get just the right consistency between airy & dense. It is also excellent for steaming hot chocolate, Italian style. Just toss in your preferred hot chocolate mix with some added chocolate and a little milk and steam it until all is melted. Go bitter and serve it with some sugar on the side to taste. Clean-up is a breeze. The tray pops out easily. The top comes off via a magnet and you can rinse it in the sink. The water & spent grounds reservoirs pop out from the front easily for rinsing. Wiping down the machine is not a problem. Overall, I've been very pleased with this small machine. It is very easy for anyone to use and you can get great results without much effort.

Saeco S-OG-SG Odea Giro Super-Automatic Espresso Machine Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a great machine for the price! At first I was nervous because of the plastic feel, but it seems to be holding up really well. It is very quick to heat up. VERY quiet considering the ceramic grinder. It is given 4 stars because of how quickly the drip tray fills up (near the coffee grounds drawer) otherwise I would give this a 5 star rating. It has to be emptied once a day if you have used the machine a lot. We do because it has the awesome feature of sending out hot water with the spout just by pushing the water button and turing the knob on top. So we use this machine for hot tea too! Also the water tank is a little hard to get out. Maybe we are being too gentle with it, but you do just have to give it a little extra pull. The adjustable drip tray (in front) is great. I just make my latte to go in a travel mug. The ability to switch from frothing the milk - which is very fast - to immediately making the espresso it my favorite feature.
Overall this is an excellent machine, makes great espresso, easy to use, and looks great too!

Saeco Xelsis SS Automatic Espresso Machine, Stainless Steel Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have (now you can say had!!) the Saeco Primea Touch Plus. I mainly make cappucinos. With the Primea, I had issues with the milk temperature (too cold) and no milk foam. Also, the cleanup was a pain.
I decided to try the Xelsis and I am glad that I did. So far I have had the machine for about two weeks and it is a winner. The milk comes out hot and the foam is perfect (looks like micro-foam done by a wand). It is easy to maintain and has worked flawless. The only negative is that the drip tray is kind of small but is it very quick and easy to empty. If you are looking for a quick and easy cappucino this machine is for you.

Saeco SMK-06 Automatic Espresso Maker Maintenance Kit Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)needed (basically just) descaler but this kit came up as recommended on Amazon for our Saeco Odea Giro unit. the kit also includes the lubricant, a "paintbrush" to apply it to the brew group's hard-to-reach places, and a water filter (which we don't bother with; our drinking water is triple-filtered as it is). there's also a package of cleaning tabs which can't be used with the Odea Giro, unfortunately (as it doesn't have an automatic cleaning cycle).
next time around, i'll just buy the less expensive Urnex Dezcal descaling solution, which is evidently the OEM product that Saeco private labels in this kit.
