Is this a single serve coffee maker?
Those that are in the know, would not ask this as saeco name is always related to espresso maker. They only make espresso machines and this happens to be one of their super automatic espresso machine.
I would not want to take a stand that say that it is better or worse than a single serve coffee maker, I like the single cup coffee maker, and I love this machine as well.
The different is really the profile of the individual drinking the coffee.
Although this is a one button machine, it does not dispense from coffee pods but coffee beans that are grounded before brewing the cuppa for you.
So, if you think about it, this is a one button solution that is serving freshly ground coffee, the brew of course would be very fresh!
Does it comes with a grinder?
Of course, this saeco primea touch plus comes with a grinder, in fact, the grinder also adds value to the overall taste of the coffee.
Almost any coffee grinder that you can in contact with uses metal blades, but this saeco espresso maker uses ceramic ones.
The difference according to its marketing journal is that they would not alter any of the coffee flavor. I believe it is because ceramic generate lesser heat, thus able to retain more of the coffee flavor.
One thing which is very evident is the lower noise that is produced by this grinder. And this is a huge plus point if you preparing coffee in the morning for your family!
Can it handle the pressure?
If it is an espresso maker, one of the questions that people would definitely asked is the amount of pressure that this machine can take. Or rather, what is the working pressure of this machine.
Because most coffee lovers would be drinking espresso, too low a pressure would lead to under extraction of the coffee.
This machine can delivers a maximum of 15 bars, which is way above the 12 bars for a good espresso. And it does not stop here. The pressure switch is just a knob.
So, if you want lower pressure, say for an Americano, all you need to do is to turn the knob
What is my take on this coffee machine?
Well, if you have the budget and is looking for a reputable espresso maker that is easy to use and brews great coffee, this saeco machine would be the one...
