Philips Saeco RoyalSuper-automatic espresso machine

5th Saeco espresso machine in the last 24 years and by far the best model I've had.

I bought my Saeco Royal 17 years ago and have brewed 16885 cups of excellent coffee and the machine is still going strong. Cannot imagine there is a better machine to be had. Thank you Saeco

Had the first Royal Professional 220 v available in Canada. Served me well. However would prefer to have available the euro model in black / dark grey, with the more traditional cappucinatore attached to the water / steam stick. The unit is much more robust looking and easier to keep looking clean. Should also be $150 less expensive.

I have had my Royal for over 5 years now. It's ease of use and speed with which you can make yourself an espresso or 5, still amazes me! Weaker, stronger, more water run through, etc, are all easily adjustable. Want a little different taste, use another coffee bean! Just got back from holidays, 2 weeks away, and when my wife asked me if I missed her, I said yes.... but was thinking, next time, I'll take my Royal with me!! LOL

We would lke this coffee maker a lot more if the dispensed products were hotter. Americano is nice and hot but latte is almost cold and foam is weak and little structure. Would certainly recommend if weak points disappeared.
