Philips Saeco PoemiaManual Espresso machine

my ever reliable saeco poemia, I have been using this for the past three years and have no problems. Best espresso shots in your own home

Great design follows its practicality and functionality. I was surprsied that Poemia makes much better or tastier, if you will, espresso with the same coffee compared to my "old" machine. It is my morning joy and ecpresso ritual.

Replaced previous machine with this one, and I love it. It was less expensive (got it on special for less than 200$ last year), its light weight, easy to use, and takes great coffee, better than my previous machine that had cost me 3 times the price ! Highly recommend!

The espresso is very good, the milk foaming capability is more than adequate. An excellent product for the price.

I have been using this product for approximately three months now. Every morning I wake up and a shot of espresso is the first thing that I think about because of the Poemia. It produces a near perfect shot of espresso, and it is hard to tell the difference compared to a shot of espresso from a high-end coffee shop. The milk frother also works great. For the mornings when I do not feel like having a plain shot of espresso, the milk frother makes it easy to turn the shot into a macchiato. Not only does the machine make great shots of espresso, it also looks very nice. In my opinion it looks a lot classier than the average drip coffee maker. I suggest this product to anyone that wants a great espresso machine, and does not want to spend hundreds or thousands of dollars.

While vacationing in Venice, the owner of the Bed & Breakfast we were staying in used this machine. We thought it was as good as we had had all over Italy. When we got home, we ordered it! It is easy to use, the expresso has lots of crema. We love it and it has been so much fun to play with!

This Philips Saeco Espresso machine is a perfect choice for a daily used espresso coffee maker at home. This is our first experience with an espresso machine. Becoming familiar with the process is complicated, but by methodically following the included instructions we have mastered the technique for outstanding results. Design of the machine is very important to us and Saeco certainly has a beauty in the chrome model we chose. We recommend it very highly.

What a bargain. You will not get an espresso this good out of any other machine for this price. It froths the milk with ease sometimes a little to much. The only problem is the pump is a little loud.

This is a good espresso machine. It works great. My only issue is that the space to put my coffee cup is not high enough. I have to use a smaller bowl first and then pour my coffee into my coffee cup. And the creama isn't always great. So I guess there is so room for improvements, but all in all for the price it's the best machine I could find I think.

The metal screen that sits inside the receiver for the basket keeps falling off. The screw stays in place, but the screen falls off. Made on a Friday.
