Excellent espresso machine for the price. What it lacks in asthetic appearance is more than made up for it's capabilities. Learning curve may be a bit steep especially if you aren't/weren't a barista at one point in your life. But once you find the right beans, the right grind, the correct tamp, and how to froth milk properly, the Saeco Aroma delivers a consistently delicious--and beautiful (see my posted image)-- cup of coffee every single time.
Rating: - Excellent machine - quality for years (from user of previous model)
I actually own the previous model (Saeco Classico, now replaced by the Aroma), but I am so happy with it that I came back to write this review. I have had it and used it heavily for five years. Never once have I had a problem with it, with an occasional descaling it runs as new. The brewing routine is obviously a little more elaborate than for automatic machine, but you get to keep control over all the parameters. The machine itself is quite heavy and rugged, but it lends it a solid, professional look. And the espresso is fantastic - I do not recall having a better cup at any restaurant or coffee ... Read More
Rating: - The espresso machine I have been dreaming of...
I have had my machine for a little over a month and couldn't be happier. It is simple to use, easy to clean and makes great espresso very quickly. It's worth every penny!
Rating: - awesome
I'm not much of a reviewer, but more of a rater only. But, I give this 5 stars because it is simple to use, it has a great price, and produces amazingly good espresso! Definitely get this model if you want a good machine that won't break your bank!
P.S. Illy espresso pods work great with this machine.
Rating: - dangerous compression
After making a cup of coffee it is normal to be able to remove the Portafilter. With this machine the pressure stayed on and would not let up. When turning the filter handle to open hot coffee grounds sprayed 4' to 5'
away, accompanied of hot steam and water, causing a mess and risk.
The customer service department was not very helpful. I returned the unit to Amazon granting me a complete reimbursement. I am done with this brand.
