Philips Saeco RoyalSuper-automatic espresso machine

Once set up this unit has delivered excellent quality coffee for us whether we use the one touch settings or manually create a special Coffee.

I Roast my own coffee so how it is made is improtant to me. We have owned 3 Saeco makers and this is by far the best. Our first Royal circa 2000 was given to a friend and has brewed 22,000 cups and is still running. Great coffee

We had a Royal Professional for over ten years and it was well worth the cost. Finding a machine that had the same or similar capabilities was a challenge. So far, the new model has met and exceeded our expectations. The test will be whether it will last as long with all the electronics.

Clean design. Excellent simple controls. Very customizeable. Ability to use ground coffee as well as the beans in the machine allows using everyone's favorite. The latte and cappucino are so fast and simple. Power management saves emnergy and keeps you from fkorgetting to shut down. Warmup is quick.

Have had the Royal Professional model for over 20 years and it made a great espresso. Am a little bit disappointed with my new machine as it needs to be restarted often. Secondly, we also have the Vienna Plus model which actually makes a better coffee than the Royal. ~$350 vs ~$1200! Saeco machines have changed in the years. Seems to be less dependable. When did Philips buy Saeco? Had always been a loyal Saeco customer but will try other makes in the future.
