Saeco Intelia DeluxeSuper-automatic espresso machine

This machine is great. Very flexible in that all of the adjustments are easy and work well, that is coffee strength, volume and temperature. Frothing works well. Be aware it is a small machine and not good for high volume needs. We are 2 and use it at our vacation home.

We have been using this all weekend and absolutely love how good that coffee is and how easy it is to use. I will try to keep up with the cleaning as per other users reviews and will try to get back to this review at a later date to update but for now we are blown away!

Was given this machine as a house warming gift 5 years ago. It is used at least 4-5 times a day. It gets cleaned every Sunday Morning,( after our first cups) as a ritual. (We de scale it only about twice a year as we have excellent water and don’t get build up.) We have NEVER had an issue with it. Excellent coffee every time. Only 4 stars because of the vague instructions that came with it. YouTube is your friend, as is this site. Definitely recommend it to anyone who loves good coffee. GET GOOD BEANS!!! Play with the the settings to find the best grind and mixtures for you.

I was somewhat concerned after reading reviews but quickly determined that weekly cleaning and proper care are all that is required to make great shots. There is a learning curve as instructions are not all that good, but YouTube and common sense help. For the price this is an awesome machine.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Excellent product, we have tried a few of them and this has the best tasking coffee, espresso

Very easy to use. Auto grinder, adjustable in many ways. The menu options could be more intuitive, as far as how much water you want in the Cafe Lungo.

This product is difficult to learn how to use. Without good tech people on the phone I would have returned the product. Very noisy and drip unit fills up very fast. We only have a few cups of coffee each day and have empty the drip unit every day. It is only 1/2 inch deep and easily spills when try to get to the sink. We had a Saeco unit before for about 5 years that was great. Would not recommend this unit.

Extremely easy to use almost intuitive and makes good coffee but on the bad side, the drip tray fills up quickly, and the water container needs to be filled up every morning. I used a cup to collect the rinse water so I wouldn't have to remove the drip tray but that doesn't help as half the water from each cup goes in the drip tray and only half goes in the cup. I think they have a flaw in the design, and I can't imagine why Saeco can't figure it out. I saw an youtube video of one handy guy who fixed the problem with a toothpick, well not really fixing the problem, but why would someone spend this much money to have to improvise? Other than that, good coffee machine. I am debating if I should buy it again and just deal with the filling up and emptying out drip tray. Not sure if I would recommend this unit.

My machine is only 2 years old and it leaks. Also the display is gone. I think this machine should have lasted at least 5 years before having these problems.
