I bought this product for commercial use and it's wonderful. It has a timer so I can prep the urns the night prior and they are brewed and ready first thing in the morning. It makes great coffee and keeps it at the perfect temperature. Very sharp looking too!!!

I liked it so much I bought another one!

I bought two of these coffee makers about 3 months ago for my church because I liked the features, thought they looked nice, and believed the Saeco brand to be reliable. I had to return the first one right away because it leaked from the side of the urn--not at a seam, but from a flat area. I couldn't see the hole but it was dripping none-the-less. Now I find out that the second urn is not working correctly. It shuts off during the perk cycle then starts again, stops again, etc. Aside from making poor coffee it takes a couple hours just to brew one pot. I am very disappointed and won't be buying this brand again.

No quality problems with the unit I purchased, works great. Having the timer is a nice bonus and having the "automatic perk shutoff to stay warm mode" is great. A full 60-cup load takes about 40 minutes to perk, so it's not a quick process. But it is very nice to start the perking when guests arrive and basically forget about it through dinner until it's time for coffee. Also a very nice looking unit, not out of place at all in the kitchen.

Very loud and unstable. Takes a very long time to brew the coffee. Not worth the money.

I bought 3 of these and returned all 3, one wouldn't work at all, one the pouring spout broke off the the last one spewed coffee through the back of the lid onto the wall?? Why the manufacturer believes this product is worth $150.00 is beyond me?

We have purchased three Saeco Renaissance coffee urns for use at our church. One lasted a little over a year, and the other two lasted only a few weeks. Problems included leakage, the power cutting out during brewing, failure of the digital readout and timer, and a spigot that worked intermittently. The timer feature was important to us and we found it very convenient, but we are now having better success using a standard coffee urn and a $10 timer from the hardware store. Saeco is no longer manufacturing this urn and I suspect that there may be design flaws. I can't recommend this product.
