Purchasing a Saeco coffee machine takes your kitchen upto a whole new level of style and sophistication that will set you apart from non-owners, yet before you can do it you will need to look at the long list of Saeco expresso machines and decide which one is the one for you.
Saeco is one of the top coffee and espresso machine brands in the world, a fact that means they make a lot of machines which in turn makes it a little harder for you to decide which machine is the best choice for you.
I find that, as with many more complex and expensive products, the best, fastest and easist way to choose is to get online and check out actual owner experiences and reviews on the specific Saeco expresso models that fall close to your needs and budget. However, in the case of Saeco there are so many reviews that it can become very time consuming!
So, to help you cut some corners and save time I'd like to review for you, 3 of Saecos best known and highly consumer rated espresso machines. Hopefully one of the following Saeco espresso machines is the one for you!
Saeco Vienna Plus Super Automatic 4038 and 4045
The Vienna espresso machine runs on a high powered 1250-watt motor and has a built in coffee bean grinder. Having a bean grinder in a model in the price band of the Vienna is unusual (in a good way!) as bean grinders are typically only found in very much more expensive expresso machines.
The Vienna Super's bean holder gives you 12 ounces (300 gram) bean holding capacity and...and this is very good, lets you program how fine you'd like it to ground the beans, a feature generally only offered by much more expensive machines. A bean grinder that gives you control over granularity in this way means you can treat yourself to the most perfect fresh ground coffee every time! In addition the Vienna can be set it to make different espresso size shots so you control how much coffee is made.
The result is that with the Vienna Plus Super Automatic you get total digital control! The Vienna's design and looks are quoted as a favorite feature of many owners. The contempory stainless steel exterior looks great and suits both modern and traditional kitchens.
Saeco Xelsis SS Automatic
The Xelsis SS, like the Vienna is a stainless steel Saeco espresso machine but one of their more highly priced models. As with the Vienna Super Plus model, it allows you to grind fresh beans and brew them fresh right away for a perfect cup. Plus, the Xelsis has many professional features, for instance, you can set the strength level at a per cup basis when making several at a time, this means it is a great family or dinner party expresso machine.
You can define settings for upto 6 different drinks, meaning the brewing process for fresh espresso is incredibly quick, professional cafe like in fact. An example of how useful this can be is that you can program 6 drink options and save them, that's perfect for a family or regular social group. Overall the Xelsis is a beautiful, sleek, top of the range model, it looks great yet functions better still. If you have budget, really worth your consideration.
Saeco Via Venezia Traditional
If you don't feel ready the automatic Saeco espresso machine experience yet then the classical model which uses a pump is one to take into account. The Via Venezia has a digital display that's simple to use and see your settings on. It is a popular model for lower budgets to but keep in mind that it does not come with a grinder so you can only use pre-ground coffee.
The Saeco coffee makers you look at are determined by what you want from such a machine as well as, your budget. Machines such as the Xelsis SS basically offer you true luxury, delicious top restaurant espresso and cappuccino in your own kitchen whereas traditional machines such as the Via Venezia give you great quality expresso with simple brewing, while a machine like the Vienna sits in the middle and is ideal for those needing or wanting the effectiveness of an automatic with great quality coffee but without the price tag of the Xelsis.
