Product Description:
Your espresso machine is a real pleaser as it makes rich, delicious coffee beverages. Keep your coffee tasting great by descaling it every few months. You will need to descale your machine every 3 to 6 months depending on the hardness of the water you are using in your machine. Even if you use filtered water you will need to descale your machine occasionally to remove traces of limescale from pipes, valves, and the boiler. If you are not already using filtered water then we would recommend that you do - even if you live in an area with soft water a water filter will still remove impurities and improve the taste. The harder the water is the more often you will need to descale your machine. Water test strips can be used to find out how hard the water is in your area. No matter how good your water filtration may be, you're still getting calcium in your boiler tank. While small amounts of calcium won't alter the flavor of your espresso too much, over time that small amount will grow into a large amount causing a very bitter flavor in your cup and eventually causing damage to your machine. Some machines actually cease operating if parts require descaling. The descaling procedure may vary depending on the type of machine and the descaling product being used.Specifically formulated to quickly and effectively descale the hot water tanks and components of coffee and espresso machinery. By removing mineral deposits which clog and impair brewing equipment, Dezcal allows machines to perform at optimal levels

Delonghi Magnifica Digital Superautomatic Espresso ESAM3500N Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Well the machine was good until the warranty ran out. It started leaking water a little at a time, then the water stopped flowing into my cup and just ran out from under the machine. I am pretty handy so I thought I would take the back off and see if it could be fixed.I found that the heating element that the water flows through has a small hole in it.No problem I will just order one and be done with it. NOT gonna happen. It appears that some genius at Delonghi made the decision not to let customers that spend over $1000 dollars on a $200 machine buy internal parts, of course they want to rape me on repair charges plus the shipping both ways. The repair takes all of maybe 15 minutes if I had the part.If anyone knows where I can order a heating element please let me know. I will NEVER buy another Delonghi product!!!

Saeco S-TRP-ST Talea Ring Plus Super Automatic Espresso Machine Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I owned a Jura Impressa S90 for 6 years at a daily rate of 8 espressos . No problems , I sold it to upgrade it for a professional like machine.. Bad decision, The Talea Ring Plus has a beautiful design and is relatively small for a full automatic, but...
After 4 months it was leaking (faulty 0 rings ), it wastes more water that it goes into the coffee, it is very high maintenance to clean (new filter every 2 weeks, cleaning tablet every 3 weeks, descaling twice in 3 months), but most important if you have a problem forget about Saeco customer service:rude, incompetent and they don't return emails or calls, so you better have a good relationship with your retailer to enlist their help. After the repair of my NEW machine, Saeco lost my original box and protective pads, they scratched the led display and plate and the serial number sticker was missiing...
After 8 single coffeesyou must empty the grounds and the drip tray! the container is flooded with water.
What about the coffee? Just OK , not any better that one could get with a machine one third of the price.
If you are thinking superautomatic forget Saeco( at least this model)

Saeco S-PR-SG Primea Ring Super-Automatic Espresso Machine Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Yes, this machine is very expensive.I was lucky enough to get it at a very very good price when amazon temporarily reduced the price, otherwise no way I would spend so much on something like this....

Anyway, this thing is quite simply awesome.My wife and I are now addicted to coffee :-)Latte machiatos and cappuccinos in the morning, espresso in the evening, hot milk for our daughter too!

The machine is totally automated, it will tell you when to clean it, when to add stuff, it will keep your cups warm, and did I mention it makes wonderful coffee?You can personalize how you want each of the different coffee drinks to come out, stronger, hotter, more robust.You can double the quantity of coffee coming out.It will accommodate various cup sizes, from espresso cups to large coffee cups.Did I mention it makes wonderful espresso/coffee:-)

Now the negatives:the machine is rather large so make sure you have the space for it, figure about a 1'X1' footprint of counter space, but it looks very modern and high tech.You do have to keep it clean, certain things have to be done about 15 minutes after your first cup (if you use the cappuccitore to make milk based drinks) but that is understandable as you want to make sure the milk doesn't start clogging everything.The water reservoir is not very large (you can get about 6 cups of coffee out of it) considering the size of the machine.You do have to learn to navigate the touch sensitive ring to get to what you want, I can imagine some people finding it frustrating.The machine does seem to have a lot of moving internal parts, when you use it you hear all kinds of mechanical noises in there, it makes you wonder how long that internal mostly plastic apparatus, called the Brew Group, will last; it's the heart of the machine.I am now drinking more coffee than ever!!!

All in all this thing is awesome, I hope it lasts a long time!

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

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 S-TG-ST Talea Giro Super Automatic Espresso Machine Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Seems expensive, but please add up your Starbucks expenditures for the past year and then buy this with no hesitation!

Many espresso purists turn their noses up at superauto machines, but as someone who has owned a high-end non-auto machine, this Saeco will reliably produce a high-quality espresso shot with virtually no effort!With my manual machines the shots would vary in quality, and while at times I could produce a better shot on my own, it would require a lot of effort.This superauto produces espresso that is 100% reliably better than most but not all of the shots I could produce manually, and it does so with almost no effort on my part (add water, beans, empty dreg drawer, that's about it).

Oh, and definitely get the [optional] Milk Island, which produces a phenomenal microfoam, to the point that you can do some basic latte art with it; again not better than some I could produce manually, but consistently better than most I produce manually, and with no work at all!

This machine looks great, heats up INSTANTANEOUSLY (that's right, no waiting at all for a boiler to heat up), is fairly quiet (thanks to ceramic grinder), and produces espresso that is superior to anything you could ever get a Starbucks.

I also looked at just about every other superauto in the $500 to $1,500 price range, and in fact tried a number of them out in person.This particular unit was my favorite by a wide margin!

BUY THIS AND THE OPTIONAL MILK ISLAND AND NEVER GO TO STARBUCKS AGAIN!I'm serious.

Saeco 658 Odea Giro 15-Bar-Pump Automatic Espresso Machine Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Seeking the perfect 'superautomatic' espresso machine, we bought this model a little over 2 years ago.Worked fine for a while. Coffee quality good, nice frothing.Then, after about year, it began to leak water from beneath.When this got to the point of flooding the counter, we sought service.Nearest Saeco-registered service center (and the only one in Missouri) was 100 miles away.Dropped it off, left the required $75 deposit. It took the service shop a NINE MONTHSto receive parts. And, it turns out, not all the parts were sent. Service bill: $200 (1/3 the cost of the machine)ON WARRANY. After another 200 mile round trip, it was back in the kitchen.It lasted 2 weeks, and completely stopped functioning. Among other things, the frothing stopped workingThat's all for this SAECO."Superautomatic" sounds too good to be true, and it is.

Advice:
1) don't buy SAECO machines
2) don't buy any machine lacking reviews after at least a year of use. Read a lot of reviews and you'll see that this kind of breakdown is very common among all brands of superautomatics.
3) get up early enough to make a cup of coffee yourself.

We're back to our totally reliable, unbreakable, Mukka Express.

Saeco Nina Traditional Espresso Machine Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Just got the Nina and after taking a few minutes and following the well detailed instructions to a T had made one of the finest home-brewed cups of java in a while. For those who enjoy the good cup and cannot afford(or as I justify) spending a few thousand bucks on a real fine machine this one takes the burden away. If you want to brew a full cup you simply hold the brew button down untill your cup is filled.
I've been trhu a few of the 200+ dollar machines and this one is well to compete with the 500+ dollar machines minus the bells and whisltes and it makes a cup just as good as the two-thousand dollar machine without the bling.
If your looking for a fine home-brewed espresso machine then look no further as this one wil make you exactly what you want.
Thanks for reading

Saeco 641 Odea Go Super Automatic Espresso Machine Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I recently upgraded to this model from a Krups steam espresso maker and it was probably one of the best decisions I've ever made.I can't believe I did upgrade sooner.

The espresso comes out perfect, just like those at places like Starbucks.My favorite part about this model is the minimum work required for cleaning.It has a bin that collects the used grounds so you don't have to empty and clean after every cup.

The steam for the milk frother comes out super fast and super hot.It takes less than 30 seconds for me to froth milk.And when you're done, just rinse the plastic nozzle and you're set for the next cup.

Now the only downside about this model: it doesn't store too much water.If you have 2 or more people using this thing every morning, there's a good chance someone will always have to refill the water in the tank after the machine pumps out a half cup of coffee and blinks its red light.Even then, for the price, it is well worth it and provides great value.

Update 4/7/2010 - Still turning out great coffee/espresso with ease after 3 years of service.Must've saved me $1000 from morning trips to Starbucks annually.

Product Description:
Make any rainy day better by brewing crema-rich espresso drinks from the comfort of home with this simple-to-use espresso machine. The unit's Easy Eject filter system makes switching between the three included filters effortless--choose from single (7 grams), double (14 grams), and pod. Each solid stainless-steel filter offers dual-wall crema technology to ensure a rich, smooth flavor. The machine also comes with a 15-bar Triple-Prime pump that delivers three bursts of hot water into the filter head prior to extraction. This increased pressure expands the beans and helps eliminate air pockets, which allows the appliance to extract more crema for a rich, smooth-tasting coffee. When it's time to produce steam for frothing milk, the espresso machine provides a thermocoil heating element that increases the water temperature, a 45-degree pivoting steam wand with a stainless-steel frothing attachment, and a froth enhancer and stainless-steel jug for barista-style results. After frothing, its Auto-Purge function returns the water temperature to the optimal level for brewing. Other thoughtful details include a 91-ounce removable water tank, 4-1/2-inch head elevation to accommodate full-size mugs, and a warming tray on top of the machine that can warm up to six espresso cups. A combination tamping tool and measuring spoon comes included. Housed in durable stainless steel with a refined finish, the espresso machine measures 8-1/4 by 9 by 13 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.

Saeco 21103 Royal Professional Fully Automatic Espresso Machine, Silver and Blue Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Unlike the review below we've been lucky in that we've had no problems with our unit.

It's been exactly 3 years since we purchased our machine and we haven't looked back.The machine was bought as we were spending $40-50 a week at Starbucks.Now we use organic milk and beans and make our own latte's at home.

The machine is super easy to use.There are various settings for the grinding and dose of coffee.I just set the dose on max and change the grind depending on what beans I use.The machine gives you 3 sizes of coffee depending on what you want.The steam wand works well but can only be used after coffee dispensing is finished.It takes 15-25sec for the steam wand to really start.. steaming.The cappuchinore on my machine doesn't work but I only tried to use it after we had the machine for 2 years so I'm not bothered too much.I also have the direct water connection to my reverse osmosis system.So I haven't had to de-scale yet and might never need to.
Another useful item is the rinsing cycle where the machine runs hot water through itself for 10mins.At the end you get to see how much "dirt" was cleaned out.Quite satisfying :)
The machine also has some idiot proof features.One is when you put in pre-ground coffee but then press the coffee button instead of the pre-ground button first.The machine makes some funky noises but then dumps everything out.I'm not proud to say I've done this more than once....

Overall through it's the best $$$ I've ever spent and would highly recommend this machine.It might not be the cheapest (or most expensive!) but you get what you pay for!

p.s. the coffee is amazing!!!!!!!!!

Saeco 00385 Nina Bar Traditional Espresso Machine Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I almost always look at Amazon reviews before I buy anything these days.Shopping for an espresso maker with this method was extremely frustrating because the reviews for most machines are all over the map.The same machine will be loved by some, hated by others.This seems to be because people are looking for different things.The would-be barristas (why would anyone dream of working at Starbucks?) want all the bells and whistle and others just want the basics.For me, this machine does a pretty good job of covering both worlds.I have had it about a month and use it many times each day and have had no problems.I mostly use it for espresso using freshly ground beans and it works well for that.I have also used it with pods a couple of times and that seems to work well also.I think the Cappucinator attachment is pretty cool.Basically, you pour some cold milk in a cup, stick a little plastic hose from the Nina's Cappucinator attachment in to the cup, place another cup under the Cappucinator and turn it on and out comes steamed milk with froth.I get a nice froth with 2%, not so much with skim.One other reviewer notes that you need to prime the pump for making espresso after each of the steam wand and/or cappucinator.This is true but it is a simple and quick process and doesn't bother me.Overall, I'm very happy with this machine.

Saeco Aroma Espresso Coffee Machine - Black Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Fine machine.Brews an excellent shot with good head.Heats up quickly and the durability has been excellent.Steams well but it definitely takes longer than I'm used to.I have this one at work but the 30013 at home which I think is an even better model.Brews and steams much quicker and while the case is the same the push buttons on this one feel less solid than the flip switches on the 30013.

Breville ESP8XL Cafe Roma Stainless Espresso Maker Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This review is based on a latte a day for about a month now.

-Customer service was great: one part got jammed during shipment (despite how extraordinarily well the manufacturer had it packed inside the box!).I called and a person answered the phone right away who helped me figure out the problem.

-Thus far, the espresso comes out hot with a great crema, and my milk is also nice and hot (from 120-160 Fahrenheit depending on how you want it) and well-frothed (meaning microfoam(!) not seafoam).With the frother it's essential to keep the full rubber head (meaning the fat part) submerged in the milk to get it hot (including the intake air vents on the side).

Bottom line: I am very impressed that this quality comes at such a great price.

Product Description:
Re-create the flavor of authentic Italian cafe drinks with the Cafe Roma espresso maker. Style-conscious coffee lovers will treasure its attractive, stainless-steel housing that conveniently sits on a countertop. Espresso enthusiasts will delight in the 15-bar Thermoblock pump which forces water through coffee grounds at the ideal pressure to create delicious, rich espresso shots. The machine also produces an abundance of crema--the light brown liquid that sits atop an espresso and characterizes a well-pulled shot--via its dual-wall filter system. Filters synchronize with heated and pressurized water to perfectly extract and caramelize coffee oils, resulting in a velvety, flavor-packed crema that will impress purists and novices alike.
The machine is simple-to-use, with a removable 1.3-quart water tank and an external water window that indicates when the tank is low. The tank is much larger than most consumer machines, so espresso enthusiasts can pull shot after shot without running low on water. As with any good espresso machine, the unit also includes a warming plate to prevent shots from prematurely cooling when poured into cups. Additional features include a froth enhancer for flavorful lattes and cappuccinos, and a removable drip tray and grid for easier cleanup. As a bonus, the machine also comes with a stainless-steel espresso cup set and a frothing jug.
