Saeco MinutoSuper-automatic espresso machine

Ready to use right out of the box. Easy to understand cleaning instructions. Quieter than my old one too.

I feel as long as it is maintenanced this machine will continue to perform excellent .

My older Phillips Coffee/Latti maker is the one I use, not as pretty this one is for my back-up.

Overall, we liked this espresso machine. It made good coffee--both espresso and a "regular" cup. When it worked well, it was great. It is important to clean it regularly--and grease the brewing unit well. You lose a lot of ground coffee that never makes it to the brewer if it isn't greased well. The most disappointing thing is that after 3 1/2 years, the sensor on the grinder quit working (and yes, we spoke with customer service). The coffee would grind and go into the brew unit, but the sensor thought it was out of coffee, and so it would dump the grounds and not brew. I believe this expensive of a machine should last more than 3.5 years without having to send it in for a repair. We did replace it with another Saeco product.

Overall good as long as you don't use pre-ground coffee. For some reason pre-ground dosent work very well - I get a lot of coffee-bean errors. Also, unfortunately 6 months after warranty expired something internal broke so I had to send it out of state for service.

Machine is easy to use and comes with excellent instruction book I have it set in the hottest temp and wish it would be about 10 degrees hotter but it is just a personal preference. I think most people would be happy with the coffee temp I had a little trouble with the bypass ground coffee shoot but again not a big issue as I rarely need to use it Overall I rate it 8 out of 10 and I would recommend to others

Average product. Could be better. But design is good.

It was very disappointing. Only made really strong coffee shots...it all tasted the same and crema was never produced.
