Product Description
With the Saeco Xelsis, it is like having a coffee-bar in your own home. Making use of cutting-edge technology, the Xelsis is extremely versatile and able to offer multiple types of beverages, all of which can be completely personalized: from strong Italian espresso to a mild American-style coffee, cappuccino to latte, and even hot water for a cup of tea. It is possible to create up to 6 user profiles, of 6 drinks each, customizable for each family member. The Xelsis’ 36 unique beverage settings are all activated with the simple touch of an icon. All beverages and functions are accessed through the wide, easy-to-read display screen located prominently on the front of the machine. The Xelsis also provides an entirely integrated milk solution to automatic espresso machines, making it easier than ever to enjoy cappuccinos or lattes at home. The large external milk carafe with a built-in cappuccinatore hooks directly to the front of the machine, automatically frothing milk directly into the cup. The milk circuit is completely separate from the rest of the machine so that no milk operations involve the internal machine circuits. This makes milk carafe cleaning fast and immediate, with no intervention required from the user. Utilizing the finest materials such as stainless steel and chrome to offer an elegant and noble touch to this new machine, Xelsis fits easily into any kitchen décor. The robust and sturdy construction will result in long-lasting performance

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.

I bought this machine as an upgrade to my Talea Touch Plus. And I have to say I think Philips ownership is starting to show. First, we got one that had all kinds of odd problems. The "Error E05" when I went to prime the pump was frustrating, but eventually unplugging the unit, plugging it in, and restarting it got around the issue. The front of the unit (which unlatches and swings out to reach the brew group) NEVER stayed completely closed and would go slightly out of alignment with the rest of the unit.
So we exchanged it.
The new unit has the same door issue (tho less promient).
The unit never reports to add coffee beans when it's empty. Fine - we can pop the lid open and look, but that's hardly working as advertised.
We also have a problem where the milk frother will occasionally just sputter and not dispense steamed milk. Cleaning the frother only seems to have limited success.
And when I call to ask questions from Philips (formerly Saeco USA)? If the tech in question doesn't know the answer, you get the generic response of; "Take it back for service unless you bought it recently and then just have the retailer exchange it".
Really Philips?
Overall the machine does a really good job. But for me to give it a 5-star rating it'd have to do an *outstanding* job for the money I paid. And it simply is not outstanding vs. the money spent.

I've had this machine for a few months and I now look forward to waking up everyday. Before drab boring dark coffee please pull the trigger.. But now Every Time I see it do its thing ,I'm amazed by its engineering. I just changed the setting to the lowest milk, strongest coffee w/ longest pour and its nice and strong. I got mine for a killer deal on eBay try to look around although good luck trying to pay under 2k. Is it worth it 2k to change your life I think so. Everyday I'm sipping the perfect cappuccino thinking to myself life is good.
