Great while it lasted...Saeco service is terrible

We really liked it for a couple months. Then our cleaning lady misaligned the brew group, the gears got stripped, and our local repair shop has been waiting for the spare parts from Saeco since then...waiting for 12 months, that is (!!!). The trains in...

Great espresso, classy looks, so-so reliability.

Excellent Machine!

 

Our first experience with Saeco Incanto Sirius was in our cabin aboard a cruise ship. I was shown by our butler how to use the machine for both ground coffee and fresh beans from the hopper. We were instantly taken with this technological advancement...

Easy touch screen operation, frothing wand, dual spouts, sleek look, degrader notices are very helpful

Machine worked well but licensed 3rd party repair service was an issue

 

I'm updating my review since Saeco Canada repaired the machine and had it returned to me within one week, which I would rate as excellent service. My original problems were caused by a licensed 3rd party repair shop, that were incompetent. Now ...

Makes very good coffee.Electronic controls easy to use.Bypass port for decaf

Service from licensed 3rd party repair shop was an issue for me

Fabulous Machine - the most used appliance in the house

 

My husband and I purchased this machine 14 months ago as a gift to ourselves and it has reaped benefits galore. We love it. We find this particular model easy to use, easy to learn and it tells you exactly what's wrong with it and what to do and when! ...

Fabulous coffee, minimum fuss, easy to clean

Cost if you don't drink a lot of coffee

Product Specifications

Saeco Incanto RS SBS Fully Automatic Coffee Maker Silver has adjustable dosing and 6 grind fineness settings to control the strength of the espresso. Each shot can be set to use up to 12 grams of coffee, depending on your liking. In addition, the SBS dial on the front of the brewing dispenser regulates the pump pressure of the machine. In the full clockwise position you get the intense and flavourful espresso experience. The more the SBS knob is rotated left, the more pressure and brewing water are bypassed and the the coffee becomes more like an American style long (drip) coffee, but with much more flavour and with crema on top. So now you can retire the drip maker to the yard sale the Incanto satisfies all tastes.  You can also use preground coffee (usually decaf), instead of the whole beans that are in the hopper, by using the bypass doser. New features include long-life Stainless Steel boiler, metal Panerello frother, illuminated push buttons and simplified menu programming.
