Saeco TaleaSuper-automatic espresso machine

The Best Saeco mashine. It is a very exellent product.

I make lattes at last twice a day. It's easy to use and makes great lattes. I have owned several and this one is the best one yet.

the Espresso is wonderful and the ability to also produce a variety of sizes and strengths makes it the best for any household and for company. I look forward to ordering the Milk Island to make Cappuccinos for myself and guests as well. Thank for bringing this wonderful machine into my life.

I enjoy a good cup of espresso very often during the day, and this machine gives me the best every time.

An overall good machine. Operation is most simple and straightforward. It's a lot quieter than my last unit. Warm up time is fast and switching between brewing and steaming is only a few seconds. There are many options available from the touch screen menu, such as water temperature, amount of beans & water per cup, rinsing & cleaning & descaling cycles, pre-brewing, lots more. The coffee itself is fairly good, but not great. The upside is you get a consistent cup every brew. Steaming / frothing is pretty simple but the steam wand is very limited in it's ability to move positions. Also, the water tank seems to need refilling rather quickly. I was rather concerned when the frothing unit totally died on the 3rd day I had the machine. Saeco handled the problem like a charm, paying for shipping both ways and getting my unit back to me within a week. It now works without a glitch and I'm a happy camper!

I purchased this item after using another brand for years. The machine is not easy to use and it stops you at almost every cup. My machine had a leak around week two, although prior the coffee favor was below average for a machine of this caliber. I have resorted to fixing the machine and shelving it, I went back to my old machine and am enjoying it. I will try a built-in brand in my new home and hope for success....btw, I am a heavy coffee drinker(8 to 12 cups a day).
