Most importantly, this machine brews a lovely cup of coffee with beautiful crema, each and every time. I love the adjustable brew lengths for the water and the easy to view options for the strength of the beans. Very customizable for each individual. I find the unit works better with drier, less oily beans. It takes a day or two for the brew group to figure out the beans and adjust the grind to optimize the coffee. I preferred the design of the previous model which allowed you to access the water reservoir and beans from the front rather than the top of the unit.
This is the second Saeco/Philips Super automatic we have owned. First one lasted 6 years. Makes great espresso and is very easy to set up and use. The only drawback is the wand obstructs the drawer when you pull it out. You have to remember to move it all the way up. Since we don't make many cappuccinos, we forget it's there until we can't remove the drawer without hitting it. Other than that we love the machine.
Great espresso machine and good value for the dollar spent

Aromatic Hot Cafe Coffee

Phillips gave me this product to review and I love it.
The sleek, elegant, easy to use machine quickly brew hot espressos and cappuccinos in your own home.
I received the Saeco Incanto super automatic machine to review 2 weeks ago. I quickly and easily set the machine up and had a hot fresh aromatic espresso within minutes. The user manual had easy to follow instructions for first time setup.
The machine has 6 sleek and easy to use buttons which allows the user to quickly brew an espresso, espresso lungo, steam for cappuccinos and hot water for tea. One button also easily adjust the strength of the coffee to satisfy the coffee drinker of all tastes and preferences from pre-ground coffee to strong espresso.
The ceramic grinders consistently grind each coffee bean without overheating the beans. Coffee is brewed fresh and aromatic each time.
I was especially surprised by how hot the coffee was brewed. I have never had an espresso from an automatic coffee machine that brewed an espresso this hot. The frother made making cappuccinos and latte very easy. The first time I tried the frother, the milk came out hot, light and fluffy, like I was an expert.
The Saeco Incanto has a standby mode, so your coffee craving can easily be quenched at any moment.
I especially like that each member of the family can quickly and easily brew their own coffee to their liking.
The machine is easy to clean. The drip tray removes easily to allow it to be emptied and rinsed. The discarded coffee pucks are also in a tray that can be easily removed and cleaned.
Overall, if you are looking for a premium automatic espresso machine you need look no further. It is right here.
Saeco gave me this product to review and I highly recommend it. You can easily satisfy your craving for hot cafe-style coffee without leaving your house.
Pros: fresh hot espresso, elegant design, very easy to use
I would recommend this to a friend!

I bought this machine 10 months ago and I’ve been having issues since day one. It’s showing no beans and it’s full of beans, when I try again maybe is doing my coffee but I wasted a lot of coffee beans. I don’t have the right words but I’m telling you do not buy this coffee machine
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
