Saeco MinutoSuper-automatic espresso machine

Although very intuitive to use I found the over all experience lacking. Both the large and medium coffee settings do not make a strong enough coffee (I use fresh locally roasted beans). I have resorted to brewing coffee using the espresso setting for 2 shots and then the coffee setting for one to get a cup that doesn't taste watered down. I find the steamer is high maintenance since the milk runs through it as opposed to inserting a steamer arm into a milk cup, you must take the time to clean every use not just wipe down the nozzle between steams and clean at end of day. Another issue is that it does not fit all sizes of togo cups (mine are the contigo you get in two packs at costco). I would just use shorter togos but most of them do not fit in my cars cup holder. I am happy I have it over a drip coffee maker, but over all expected more for the money. I would still recommend the company but not this exact product.

Concept of machine is great but even with regular maintenance expect breakdowns. I would buy the machine again if the defects could be corrected and water temp is hitter when using the coffee feature.

I have had problems with it since I bought it. The bean sensor fell. The coffee started to leak out on the side of the downspout. This all happened within a year and a half of purchase. I previously owned aSaeco Majic Deluxe for over 10 years and had very little problems but I needed a part but was not available because the model was discontinued. I am using a different espresso maker and the Saeco is in my cupboard.
