Saeco Aroma Stainless Steel Espresso Machine - SS (00345)

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!

Crew Review




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
Each time you brew, you'll set the shot volume and dosing uniquely so you can easily tweak your shot to your preferences.

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

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.

  • 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
  • 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.

Welcome kit, user manual, tamper, pressurized portafilter with single and double baskets.
