Pros and cons

According to our Fully automatic espresso machine expert

• With the touchscreen color display, you can easily control the espresso machine thanks to an extensive menu with selections.
• You can prepare 2 espressos, but also 2 milk specialties with one touch of a button.
• In addition to a cappuccino or a latte macchiato, you can also brew a flat white and an Italian cappuccino.
• A coffee machine with a plastic casing isn't as durable as one with a stainless steel casing.

A good all rounder

• Easy installation
• Makes very good milk foam
• Tasty espresso
• The grinding degree could be a little more refined

Below is my review per part that I personally find important when buying an espresso machine.

Installation:
This is really very simple. You can leave the manual in the box, because you don't need it. As soon as you have unpacked the machine and plugged it in, the machine guides you step by step through the installation process via the touchscreen. The machine is ready for use in no time.

Coffee flavour:
After setting the correct grinding degree, the machine makes a good espresso and other coffees. You can set the strength, number of milliliters and temperature. Once you have found the perfect settings, you can easily save them by creating a user profile. This is done quickly and definitely recommended to do.

Setting grinding degree:
The grinding degree is set via a rotary knob in the bean container that you have to press and turn. It works eventually, but it's not a sophisticated way of setting it up and the numbers on the button are hard to read. A rotary knob on the side of the machine with the grinding degree digital on the screen would work better. Given the other fancy gadgets of the machine and the touchscreen, the current way of setting feels old-fashioned. Not a deal breaker, but room for improvement.

Milk foam:
The milk froth the machine makes is very good. You can set how many ml of milk you want in your milk variant and whether you want no, normal or a lot of foam. You can also set whether you want to brew the coffee first and then the milk (foam) or the milk (foam) first and then the coffee. If you mainly drink milk varieties such as lattes and cappuccinos, this machine will make you very happy.

To clean:
This is again simple. The water filter that is in it lasts a long time and that is why you only have to descale the machine after a long time (1-1.5 years). After each time you have used milk froth, the machine automatically cleans the milk hose by means of a burst of steam back through the hose. You can empty the collection reservoir for water and coffee grounds in no time.

General:
After switching on, the machine is quickly up to temperature and ready for use. It happens when you make a coffee, the water reservoir is empty in the meantime. The machine interrupts the brewing process until you have filled the water reservoir again. If you are a connoisseur you will taste the difference with a normal brewed coffee that has not been interrupted. This could have been a bit smarter by indicating in advance that there is not enough water in the reservoir.

Besides the 'dumb' water tank and the 'old-fashioned' grinding degree adjustment, I am impressed by the performance of this espresso machine. It is easy to use, the touchscreen works great, the milk froth is very good and it makes tasty espresso/coffee. In short, highly recommended.

User-friendly machine for everyday use!

• Delicious coffee
• User friendly
• sleek design

I was about it, my next coffee machine had to be a bean machine. After years of using a filter coffee machine, I had my sights set on a bean machine that can also make a delicious cappuccino or Latte Macchiato. After a lot of research and reading reviews, I ended up with the Saeco GranAroma SM6585/00. The party started with the unpacking of the machine, it is well and properly packed for shipping. The machine now stands as a showpiece in our kitchen. Beans and water in the machine, milk in the separate milk container, and choose your favorite coffee. The first coffee that came out of the machine was of course a delicious cappuccino, with a lovely firm foam layer. Also the Latte Macchiato is perfect! The machine is very user-friendly, the operation is very easy. Even our children can get by with this machine! Most parts are easy to disassemble and can be put in the dishwasher, making maintenance of the machine a piece of cake.

Now that I've been using it for a while, I haven't regretted the purchase for a second!

In short, a very nice user-friendly machine for daily use!

After years of owning a Saeco Intelia, we thought it was time for something new. When we looked at the Saeco site, our eyes fell on this versatile machine. The big difference with the intelia is that it already contains a huge variety of pre-programmed drinks. You connect the milk container, you scroll through the 'menu' and you choose what you want. Ideal. It is very nice that every drink can still be adjusted to taste; You can set the strength, amount and even the desired temperature to your liking. What is also nice is that the cleaning service programs are explained step by step by means of an animation on the screen. A great way to quickly familiarize yourself with your device.

The coffee is fine, the coffee variants with milk are also very tasty.

The various parts are easy to keep clean. The milk tube and nozzle are even sterilized by means of hot steam. A lot can go in the dishwasher. Also very convenient.

The ease of use is great, it is a beautiful and fine device and definitely recommended.
