Description   Saeco's key to consistent quality coffee production is their patented, stainless steel boiler and pressurized portafilter system. Whether you are an expert or novice you will love the reliability of this system to pull flavor rich espresso shots with thick crema, time after time. Your lattes, cappuccinos and mocha's will always have more than enough hot milk due to the Aroma's efficient heating element.  For classic performance and reliability, we recommend the Saeco Aroma!    Learn more about the Saeco Aroma: Pros & Cons How it Works Care Features & Accessories Tech Specs Watch Gail use the new non-pressurized portafilter on the Saeco Aroma Watch Gail discuss semi-automatic espresso machines, including the Saeco Aroma Pros Sturdy Compact Design - The Saeco Aroma has a compact and sturdy all metal design and fits easily into compact spaces. Ease of Use - With its pressurized portafilter this is one of the easiest to use espresso machines we have tested. Shot Quality - Its easy to produce excellent espresso and coffee from the Aroma. Upgrade the portafilter to a non-pressurized version for an even better shot rivaling what can be achieved on the Rancilio. Cons Steam Wand Location - The steam wand swivel nicely but because of the compact design of the machine it can be difficult to get large frothing pitchers under the wand easily. A 12 oz. pitcher works fine but it helps to elevate the machine to use large steaming pitchers. Messy Portafilter - When using the pressurized portafilter the coffee will be a little messy after brewing. Tip: upgrading to the non-pressurized portafilter improves this with a little bit dryer puck that slips out more easily into a knock box. How it Works Full operational details are available in Saeco's user manual. Care For detailed care instructions, please refer to your machine's user manual. We recommend that you also incorporate the following into your cleaning routine: Descale every 2 - 3 months. We recommend using Dezcal. Wash all removable components with soap & water on a regular basis (many are not dishwasher safe). Remove and clean panarello wand weekly. Clean brewhead with group head brush weekly. Features & Accessories Solid, simple and affordable! The Aroma has these great features: Components & Functionality Simple to Brew With Fill the portafilter with finely ground espresso, tamp lightly and secure in place on the machine. Press the brew button to initiate brewing and then press again to stop. Frothing Tip for Perfect Foam Like magic, your Aroma stainless steel steam wand will make beautiful foam just by slipping on the Pannarello frothing tip. Mounted on a swivel joint, the wand conveniently swings aside and clean up is a snap. Perfect Espresso No Matter What The Consistency Of The Grind It stands to reason that the correct texture of the coffee grounds and the right pressure used to pack them, (know as tamping), makes a huge difference in the quality of espresso produced. The Aroma's heavy-duty pressurized portafilter does away with that concern by pressurizing the brewing chamber to improve extraction from the ground beans, promoting the perfect brewing conditions. A non-pressurized portafilter is also available for those that are into tamping their own grinds. Built In 80 oz. Water Tank The 80 oz. water reservoir is prefect for home and entertaining. You can brew a number of espressos and then refill the reservoir right where it's at, even if it is still brewing. Simple to remove, the reservoir can also be carried to a faucet. Powerful Pump System The Aroma boasts a powerful vibratory pump rated at 15 BAR of pressure, the same pump found on top of the line Saeco espresso machines to pull maximum flavor from the coffee beans. Removable Cup Tray, Drip Pan & Cup Warming Shelf   This removable cup tray and plastic drip pan make clean up simple. The polished steel construction makes it simply stylish. A cold cup can pull the heat and heart right out of an espresso. If you've ever had a tepid espresso you'll know how important a warmed cup can be. The Aroma provides a stainless steel passive heat cup warmer that cleverly eliminates the problem. Safe, Rapid Recovery Boiler   No hot water, no espresso. The Aroma keeps hot water coming with a large stainless steel, 950-watt quick recovery boiler of stainless steel. This boiler also has burnout protection; a thermal fuse to shut down the heating element should the machine run dry during operation.

Good espresso, bad steaming wand. February 15, 2010 Reviewer: PdP Designs from Appleton, WI United States   My husband bought me this machine for christmas to replace a similar design and priced machine.  All though this one does make a better shot I drink lattes and the steaming wand is so inconvienent to use I wonder if they had any one test it before marketing it.  I have to pull the machine all the way to the edge of the counter in order to get a small frothing pitcher(once steamed and full of froth and milk) out from under the wand and then the residual milk from the wand drips on to my floor!!!  I only use the machine once or twice a day and my husband cannot find the receipt or I think I would return it.  Next timeI hope they test out the steaming wand with a pitcher full of milk. Thank you for your feedback on this review. We appreciate your input!

I love my Saeco Aroma September 2, 2009 Reviewer: Steve from Seattle, WA   I have owned my Saeco Aroma for over two years.  I purchased it from Seattle Coffee Gear of course.  My use is limited to one or two Americano a day so I am a casual user.  I rarely froth or steam so the single boiler is just fine.  However, I will say I am not fond of the pannarello frothing tip but it is adequate for the few times I use it.  I did upgrade to the non-pressurized portafilter which I think is mandatory.  I also have a quality burr grinder which is also essential in my opinion.  Other than the routine cleaning and everyday maintenance all I have done is to replace the portafilter gasket once. I will challenge any espresso shop or stand around to brew as good a shot as this machine consistently gives me.  When I do occasionally buy a shot or an Americano I am usually always disappointed. I am totally satisfied with my Saeco Aroma and recommend it to anyone looking for a quality machine at a great price. Thank you for your feedback on this review. We appreciate your input!

Great little machine February 18, 2009 Reviewer:  jmillet from Shoreline WA   After using an Estro 410 for over ten years I moved up to its big brother the Saeco Aroma last December and couldn't be more satisfied with my choice. My only complaint is the ackward wand location but that can be overcome by locating the machine near the edge of the counter-top. Thank you for your feedback on this review. We appreciate your input!

Great machine in the price range February 14, 2009 Reviewer:  LongHairedWeirdo from Renton, WA   Okay, first... you can make fine espresso in this machine without doing much of anything, if you want to. "But wait!" you say. "What about the golden rule, 20-25 seconds for a double shot of espresso?  Does it just not apply any more?" Yes, it still applies. A random extraction from this machine might come out in 10-15 seconds. It'll taste good, and it'll have crema, but you might be disappointed, if you've ever drawn some *really* good shots from a commercial portafilter. But you can adjust the flow, and make the espresso better. First, you can tamp  the grounds in this machine - not too hard, but you can tamp them. And, you can grind your coffee beans finer than you might for a commercial portafilter. By varying the grind, and the tamp, you can still get your espresso to follow the golden rule. I'd give this machine 5 stars, but for one thing. It is as hard as blazes to get the grounds out of the portafilter! Thank you for your feedback on this review. We appreciate your input!

Another New, Happy Seattle Coffee Gear Customer... December 19, 2008 Reviewer: Mark from Iowa   Thank you for taking the time to "educate" a real rookie on the finer details of semi-automatic espresso machines. I cannot thank you enough for listening to my situation, and then pointing me in the direction of the Saeco Aroma. I just ordered one a few moments ago and couldn't be more excited about my purchase. I'm sure that you have many customers and they probably all have bigger budgets than me. Please know that you've managed to make a strong impression on me while representing Seattle Coffee Gear extremely well. For what it's worth--I plan on telling everyone about my experience with your company. Thank you for your feedback on this review. We appreciate your input!
