The heart of Saeco automatic machines is the patented removable brew group. This device allows the machine to tamp, brew and dispense the coffee in one cycle. The brew group can be removed at the push of a button, for convenient rinsing and chemical-free cleaning. This brew group is exclusive proprietary Saeco technology and one of the unique advantages that has made Saeco the world leader in automatic espresso machines.
The ceramic disc grinder is one of Saeco’s recent innovations. It provides an even grind, allowing perfect dosing and blending, giving you more control over the density and body of your coffee. Because ceramic is inert it will not absorb the flavor of the coffee overtime, it is much more durable, and grinds considerably quieter.
If your Saeco machine sits idle, Energy Safe mode is automatically activated. The machine can also be set to stand-by mode to run even more economically.
The pinnacle of coffee enjoyment starts at its most basic elements. That’s why we’ve placed a renewed focus on the fundamentals of excellent coffee – infusing our new ideas with our passion for what we do. More aroma, more purity, more freshness. In each and every cup. To us it is the Saeco Freshness Promise. To you it is a new dimension of enjoyment.
The Pannarello frothing device dispenses steam in three different directions and makes it easy to froth milk for cappuccinos and lattes. It also dispenses hot water for Americanos, teas and hot chocolate, and is completely removable for easy cleaning.
Rapid Steam® technology reduces the normal waiting time between brewing coffee and steam output to just a few seconds. A separate heat exchange for steam provides fast and continuous steam pressure for frothing milk within seconds.
The cup warming surface keeps your cups and espresso at an optimal temperature while enhancing the full flavors and aromas extracted from the bean.
The adjustable drip tray can be easily raised or lowered allowing different cup sizes. Espresso cups or glasses can easily be accommodated. It is also removable for easy cleaning. No matter what mood you’re in, we can fit the mug that goes with it. (Not dishwasher safe.)
Thanks to its coffee control dial and large buttons it is possible to customize the length of your coffee with one simple movement. This way you can have coffee and your favorite drinks with minimal effort, in just a few minuets. Alert lights to the left of the dial give clear, instant details for each function.

Place a container under the Pannarello and press the hot water button to activate. Turn the hot water/steam knob clockwise and allow a steady flow of water out of the Pannarello. Close the knob and remove the container.
For rich and creamy frothed milk, start by filling the frothing pitcher 1/3 of the way full with milk. Position the pitcher under the Pannarello, with the tip of the wand immersed in the milk. Turn the steam/hot water knob clockwise to begin frothing. Gently swirl the pitcher to create the perfect froth. When the desired amount of milk has been frothed, close the knob. Add freshly brewed espresso to the frothed milk to create a cappuccino or latte. When the wand has cooled down, remove the plastic attachment and rinse it thoroughly under running water.
To care for your machine, perform these steps regularly. Wipe the outside of the machine with a soft cloth. Empty and rinse the drip tray daily. Empty the used grounds container and rinse it weekly or as indicated by the machine.
