Error message after every single cup of coffee
on August 6, 2018
Posted by: SFUnhappyCustomer
After a third of a pound of beans, the machine became a frustrating piece of junk. Every single cup of coffee results in a "no water in the internal circuit" error. After following all of the reprime instructions carefully, I get 1 cup of coffee and a "no water in the internal circuit" error. It's frustrating and defeats the entire purpose of owning this piece of junk. After 10 times, I still get a "no water in the internal circuit". Saeco used to make great equipment.
We have a motor home and we love our big Saeco espresso machine so much that we actually lug it along with us. When we saw this smaller machine we decided to give it a try....... it's absolutely perfect! Makes a great cup of coffee in a much smaller space ....... the milk frothier is great....... yes, you may have to refill the water a little more frequently, but it's easy to do. We really enjoy this machine and it's very affordable.
Finally a small automatic espresso machine. With the right coffee beans the espresso is perfect. After a few cups you will get used of it what to check. The only thing I would recommend for the next edition of this machine, make a clear see you strip on front of the water tank.
It does a great job and makes a great cup of coffee

It is a sturdy machine. Took a little bit of getting use to, but for the most part it is what I wanted and needed. I'm still learning about the frothing. I changed the amount of coffee brewed with each cup and it's pretty well perfect. Loving it.
We must add water everyday and empty coffee grinds every other day. The water container is difficult to remove. The bottom line is that it makes great coffee.
