Product Description

From the Manufacturer

With Royal Cappuccino of Saeco’s Top line, you can prepare a fabulous cappuccino with a soft frothed milk thanks to the exclusive Cappuccinatore. And, at the same time, a very good espresso coffee thanks to the Instant Steam system.

Features:

• Bon Temp: Pre-warmed cups make coffee even more good, exalting the aroma and creaminess of it.
• Cappuccinatore: It’s Saeco’s practical and hygienic system that takes the milk directly from the pack, transforming it in a thick and creamy foam.
• Optidose: The coffee dose regulation allows personalization in order to make your coffee more or less full-bodied, satisfying any taste need.
• Removable brew group: The removable brew group: the heart of Saeco technology. It suffices to push a button and Saeco automatic machines instantly and completely automatically grind the coffee beans to maintain their aroma, dose the required quantity, brew the coffee and discard the grounds. Moreover, by a simple gesture it can be rapidly removed from the machine and easily cleaned. It is in fact enough to rinse it under running water, to remove all traces of dirt and coffee residues. All without using chemical additives that can alter the taste and the aroma of coffee. Thanks to this Saeco patent, the quality of the best espresso remains constant through time.
• Saeco aroma system: Thanks to pre-brewing, another Saeco patent, coffee gains major aroma and body.
• Saeco warranty plus: Besides the 2-year warranty on the whole machine, Saeco offers an additional 5-year warranty on removable brew group, the heart of Saeco’s automatic machines, for a reliability lasting for years.

5.0 out of 5 stars Some things are worth the money, December 8, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Saeco Royal Cappuccino SuperAutomatic Espresso Coffee and Cappuccino Machine (Kitchen)

I know - this machine is expensive. Very expensive. But it makes the best coffee I've ever had!

I spent a long time hunting for a great automatic coffee machine. Saeco pluses compared to other machines are:

1. Very large capacity water tank, that is easy to fill
2. High quality construction - it's solid and well designed. It's very simple to access the internal grinding mechanism for occasional cleaning. It is actually intended for semi-commercial use, and the quality shows.
3. It has two water pumps, so for example you can make cappucinos and brew coffee at the same time - or dispense hot water and make espresso simultaneously.. etc
4. The milk frother attachment on the side sounds dodgy, but works amazingly well (you just insert the tube into a container of milk, and the machine pumps it through a foaming attachment into your coffee)
5. Beans are ground to perfection, and disposal is clean and simple
6. The entire (large) unit is on a swivel base
7. The electronic controls allow you to set a wide range of preferences, such as how much to fill your cups, how hot the water should be, when to remind you to perform descaling etc.
8. Descaling is as simple as running the automatic descaling function when the machine reminds you to
9. Machine is extremely simple to use - just press a button and you'll have perfect coffee in no time. It also has a timer, and one button standby mode. Visiting friends get a real kick out of "making" their own coffee now.

10. My full size coffee mugs fit under the dispenser - you don't have to suffer with tiny cafe style cups.

My only gripe with the machine is that it is very noisy when grinding and tamping the beans - but the process is over in less than a minute.
If you love coffee, and can stomach the price tag, do yourself a favour and buy a Saeco. Life's too short to be drinking bad coffee.
