Excellent product, easy to use, quiet, efficient and highly recommended!, August 30, 2010

This review is from: Saeco Syntia Stainless Steel Automatic Espresso Machine (Kitchen)

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... Read more

We Love This Machine, May 31, 2011

This review is from: Saeco Syntia Stainless Steel Automatic Espresso Machine (Kitchen)

We have had this machine for a couple of months and love it. We spent a lot of time looking at different machines. We were looking for durability, brew quality and price (I know, not a big surprise). Finding all three is a challenge in the superatomatics. The Saeco Syntia seems to meet all our needs.

It costs a little more than some of the others, but the issue I saw again and again with cheaper models was that they just didn't hold up. There were very few reviews outlining any problems with the Syntia.

So far everything is great. The documentation with the machine is just OK. I strongly recommend viewing the how-to videos on You-Tube by Saeco; they were very helpful.

The machine is much smaller than I thought it would be and fits very nice on our kitchen counter taking up just a little more space than a coffee maker. For the savings in space, the size of the water tank is sacrificed; we need to fill it every day. This is the only complaint thus... Read more

A great Automatic Espresso Machine, November 30, 2010

MovieGuy (Knoxville, TN) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Saeco Syntia Stainless Steel Automatic Espresso Machine (Kitchen)

This one is small compact and easy to use; I been through about 3 different brands. This one seems to be holding up fine. Small footprint; but it has small water capacity-which is easy to fill. Beans are easy to load, display is user friendly.

This review is from: Saeco Talea Giro Plus Automatic Espresso Machine, Silver and Titanium (Kitchen)

Definitely worth 5 stars overall in my estimation - having done lots of research and knowing its limitations before the purchase. Quality of the espresso produced surpasses almost all coffee shops including Charbucks and others by far. An expert barrista may be able to produce slightly better quality, but even their results are not consistent.

I previously returned a Jura-Capresso 13423 Impressa S9 One Touch Automatic Coffee-and-Espresso Center, Platinum because it produced inferior espresso and frothed milk with gigantic lukewarm bubbles. I would not have returned it (even at that price) if it had performed as well as the Talea. (THANK YOU AMAZON for a great return policy.) In fairness to the Jura, maybe it was faulty - at the finest setting the grounds looked very coarse - coarser than I would use for French-Press... Read more

This review is from: Saeco Talea Giro Plus Automatic Espresso Machine, Silver and Titanium (Kitchen)

I have had my saeco talea Giro for about two years now. It had to be serviced once during this time. The machine is a bit touchy and you really have to get to know how it works before you can judge it. First of all you have to keep it cleaned and de-scaled to keep it in good working order. If you have no time for this then do not buy it. Lights will come on before you start to brew to let you know you have to clean out the coffee grounds or empty the water well. This can be annoying if you are ready to have an espresso and you have to stop and clean things out. It will not work unless this is done first. So what I do after I brew is take the time and clean and empty grounds so the next time it is ready to go. With that said, I absolutely love making my latte it is of the highest quality that you would find at Starbucks or any other great coffee house. I even take it with me on vacation, if I can. I think for the money though, it should be made of stainless steel and not... Read more

A princess but worth it., April 29, 2011

Cyanwood - See all my reviews

This review is from: Saeco Talea Giro Plus Automatic Espresso Machine, Silver and Titanium (Kitchen)

I've had this machine almost a year and have used it at least once a day with no problems. It's my first expresso machine so it's really my testing machine. It makes great expresso and it's very quick and easy but as previous reviewer said, it's a bit touchy and I found the initial learning curve annoying.
Pros: I can make multiple cups easily.
It has the ability to select shot size, strength of expresso and the amount of water dispensed with the shot.
It has a pre-ground coffee bypass feature which I love for late night decaf and trying different brands for different family members tastes.
Because it warms quickly I can have a latte before work in the morning.
As semi automatic its convenient, consistent and makes great lattes.
No more costly Starbucks!
Cons :You have to stay on top of the maintenance and prep.
Lights will come on if the grounds aren't emptied and water tank filled.
It takes up a good bit of counter space... Read more

DeLonghi (ESAM3300) Magnifica Super Automatic Beverage Machine + Deluxe Accessory Kit saeco automatic coffee machine

saeco automatic coffee machine

Customer Rating :

List Price : $1,399.99 Price : $899.99

Product Description

Capable of preparing espresso, coffee, cappuccino, latte drinks, and more, this super-automatic machine features a unique beans-to-brew system that grinds coffee beans right before brewing for exceptionally aromatic espresso. The appliance comes equipped with two stainless-steel boilers that provide excellent heat distribution, as well as an instant reheat function, which keeps the machine at an ideal temperature, no matter how long the interval between cups. In addition, its quiet burr grinder automatically grinds beans and can be set to a specific grinding level, but the unit can also be used with ground coffee if preferred. The unit's front panel offers easily accessible controls for the on/off switch and cappuccino system, as well as for adjusting the quantity of water and coffee to suit individual tastes, from long or short to weak or strong. Its patented cappuccino system rotates 180 degrees to allow for any size milk container, plus the coffee spigot height can be adjusted to accommodate all different cup sizes--from a classic espresso cup to a tall mug. Even more, the unit's exclusive cup tray keeps cups warm before use, and its three-hour automatic shutoff provides added safety. Other highlights include a 60-ounce removable water tank, a handy water-level indicator, a 7-ounce bean container, an electronic steam and coffee thermostat, rinse and decalcification auto programs, and a removable drip tray for easy cleanup.

This review is from: DeLonghi (ESAM3300) Magnifica Super Automatic Beverage Machine + Deluxe Accessory Kit (Electronics)

One of the best purchases I have ever made was to purchase this machine. I have owned it for just under a year and it has performed perfectly since I took it out of the box. The frother does an excellent job of creating luscious froth. It is easy to clean and looks very nice on my kitchen counter. I have no more messy coffee grounds to deal with.

This review is from: DeLonghi (ESAM3300) Magnifica Super Automatic Beverage Machine + Deluxe Accessory Kit (Electronics)

First, this unit makes some of the best coffee and espresso that I have ever had and is extremely easy to use...that is when it works. And when it doesn't, don't expect good customer service or warranty service from Delonghi.

I've been through three of these from last October to this August...11 months. The first unit started leaking muddy water after a few months. A call to Delonghi promised me the "white glove treatment". What that means is that you wait for 1 week for them to send you an empty box so you can ship the unit from Massachusetts to California. After 6 weeks, I received the unit back broken in pieces because it wasn't packed correctly. They sent me a refurbished unit after two weeks. That lasted all of a couple of months before all of the buttons stopped working. Delonghi sent another refurbished unit after another 2 weeks. This one was "the best" of the lot. The pump broke after one month.

Into the trash its going. I'll buy a unit from another... Read more
