Not for the fast cupper's,
By Rev. Jeffery L Thummel "Rev. Jeffery L. Thummel" (Idyllwild, California USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Saeco USA Nina Cappuccino/Espresso (Kitchen)
Just got the Nina and after taking a few minutes and following the well detailed instructions to a T had made one of the finest home-brewed cups of java in a while. For those who enjoy the good cup and cannot afford(or as I justify) spending a few thousand bucks on a real fine machine this one takes the burden away. If you want to brew a full cup you simply hold the brew button down untill your cup is filled.
I've been trhu a few of the 200+ dollar machines and this one is well to compete with the 500+ dollar machines minus the bells and whisltes and it makes a cup just as good as the two-thousand dollar machine without the bling. If your looking for a fine home-brewed espresso machine then look no further as this one wil make you exactly what you want. Thanks for reading -Jeff

Really nice all round!,

This review is from: Saeco USA Nina Cappuccino/Espresso (Kitchen)
I got this machine because it looks cool and modern and not boxy like the majority. It's more streamlined for my small kitchen.
It make really nice espresso and cappuccinos, very tasty and no ground coffee in my drink. I read two bad reviews of how it's annoying to have to prime the machine with each coffee but it's not a problem, it primes in seconds and is ready to go, you just need to practice, that's all! It's very simple in function, meaning it's not over-complicated with too many buttons. I love the fact that the steamer nozzle comes off for proper cleaning and it just the right length (not too short as some machines and not too long!) This machine makes easy cleaning, everything comes away for a quick rinse after use and goes back together easily. It's still fairly new so I hope this review doesn't jinx my machine but so far I am very pleased with my purchase!

SO FAR SO GOOD...UPDATE,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Saeco USA Nina Cappuccino/Espresso (Kitchen)
I have had the Nina for 2 days and it seems pretty good so far. I owned a wonderful Turmix 10 (discontinued, sadly) for 21 years..awesome machine. I am a bit of a coffee snob, and returned a DeLonghi EC155 Espresso maker (supposedly highly rated), it was just awful. I like the ritual of making espresso, so I didn't go for the all automatic version. I think for the money this is a sweet machine. I will update this after about a month of use and give you all the scoop. Below are the pros and cons to this point...
Pros- Really great crema (used store bought espresso, not my burr grinder, to give it a fair test). It is reasonably quite. Looks pretty trick. Steaming milk works very well. Cons- The 50 oz. water tank is difficult to access. You need to prime the machine (had to do that with the Turmix also, never a big deal for me). I hope that it will be as good as my old machine...however can't imagine any machine working for 21 years like my Turmix (good ole Swiss quality). Hope this helps, good brewing to you all.... 12/2/2009 It's almost a month now, and wanted to update the review I gave when I first purchased the Nina. I have put 100+ espresso shots through it now, and am still pleased. I will pretty much stay with the above review. The only thing that is a pain (a small one at that) is filling the water tank. Should be able fill it without moving the machine IMHO. You really only have to prime the pump (its easy) once per tank filling in my experience. It makes a really great espresso and the crema is a thing of beauty. All the best brewing... PS- I purchased the Nina from J&R in New York through Amazon. It was priced $[...]...a week later it had a $[...] price drop. I called J&R, asked about price protection...and they rebated me the $[...]. Thought a company that acts with integrity should be lauded.
