Saeco Incanto Rondo Espresso Machine - Certified Refurbished
|
The Incanto Rondo is a perfect choice for super automatic espresso machine beginners thanks to innovation geared at ease of use. The large dial in the middle of the machine lets you control the size of your espresso or café crema coffee with just a turn. This innovative design can now also be found on the Odea Go and Talea Giro. Thanks to its simple design, espresso and coffee brewing is simple and intuitive. Simply turn the dial to select the size of your beverage (1 to 8 ounces) and press the large center cup button or the adjacent 2-cup button for one or two drinks.
Just press the button and the Saeco Incanto Rondo will automatically grind your coffee beans, and dispense freshly brewed, rich and flavorful coffee into your cup. The Incanto Rondo incorporates the Saeco Aroma System to extract the full aroma of coffee beans into every cup. A special pre-programmed step injects a small amount of hot water into the freshly ground coffee to start a pre-brewing process. The actual brewing cycle begins about 2 seconds afterward, allowing for enough time to fully saturate the grounds and achieve maximum flavor. To fully enjoy the flavor of your espresso, preheat your ceramic cups with hot water or steam from the steam wand.

Crew Review
Pros
- Steel Case - The steel casing is unique in a world of plastic superautomatics
- Ease of Use - Rapid Steam functionality means you can quickly switch between brewing and steaming
|
Cons
- Water Tank Location - It's in the back of the machine, so can be a pain to access. The swivel base, however, makes access a bit easier
- Oil-Free - Like most superautomatics, the grinder is not oily bean friendly. Try a medium espresso roast for optimum results
- Not Digital - Not as fancy of a display, although very easy to use

Features & Accessories
Components & Functionality
- One touch. All types of coffee - An
absolutely revolutionary innovation. SBS – Saeco Brewing System –
Saeco's new patented international exclusive, is the avant-garde
technology which has changed the world of coffee machines. This
ingenious system allows you to make an infinite variety of coffee from
just one automatic machine and at the mere twist of a knob. Whether it
is an intense Italian ristretto (turn the knob to the right) or an
American-style long coffee (turn the knob to the left) SBS satisfies
all tastes giving a full flavor and a truly unique creamy finish.
Moreover the coffee dose in the extraction chamber is fully exploited,
thanks to the pressure, which remains constant throughout the
extraction cycle. This way, all of the aroma is concentrated in the
cup, offering you a superb creamy finish and a truly rich flavor.
- Hot Water Dispenser & Rapid-Steam®Technology - We’re
all steamed up about Saeco's patented Rapid-Steam® system! Turn the
steam knob and have instant steam you want for cappuccinos or lattes.
Other systems can have you waiting up to 45 seconds for the steam
function to be ready but not with Rapid-Steam®; you’ll have consistent
steam for repeated drinks.
The special milk frothing tip
delivers perfect foam every time for lattes or cappuccinos, even if you
have never foamed milk before! The steam wand is located on the right
front of the machine and it accommodates frothing pitchers up to 32 oz.
If you need instant hot water for making tea, hot cocoa, or Americanos,
the hot water feature is available at the press of a button. - Espresso, Café Crème or Regular Coffee - In
addition to regular espresso, with the Incanto you can adjust for the
coarseness of the grind, allowing you to brew a Café Creme, often
referred to as Swiss brewed coffee for the country that made it
popular. For a Café Crème, (or crema coffee) a courser grind is needed.
This coarser grind allows for more water to pass through, resulting in
a frothy layer of coffee that floats on the top: the crema. Aromatic
and rich, it is not as intense a coffee as the espresso, but equally
delicious. This feature also makes the Incanto a natural replacement
for traditional coffee makers.
- Special Pre-infusion Brew System Cycle - Pre-infusion
allows you to get maximum flavor from the brewing process. This
advanced system takes the newly ground coffee beans from the internal
coffee grinder and correctly tamps the coffee. Next comes
“pre-infusion”. The grounds are pre-soaked and then brewed before being
discarded automatically into the internal dump box. The machine then
resets itself for the next brewing cycle.
- Professional Quality Ceramic Grinder - The
ceramic coffee grinder is one of Saeco's most unique innovations,
available in the latest generations of Saeco Super Automatic Coffee
Centers. After careful research, Saeco chose this material for the
Incanto Rondo to put an end to grinding with metal components. Ceramic
is inert, and thus ensures the best results without altering the flavor
of coffee. The new ceramic grinder provides an even grind, allowing
perfect dosing and blending coffee beans, and giving you more control
over the density and body of your coffee.
The Incanto Rondo has a 8
ounce bean hopper with 7 different grinder fineness settings, which
will allow you to adjust the strength of your beverage. Long-lasting
with minimum noise! Thanks to its sturdy build, the ceramic coffee
grinder will quietly go on grinding to the same high standard for a
long time. - For Perfect Coffee Extraction - a Powerful Pump - Delivering a maximum pressure of 15 bars, this on board water pump pulls the maximum flavor from the coffee beans.
- Coffee Bean Storage Hopper & Internal Waste Box - Keeping
1/4 pounds of beans fresh and ready for grinding is the built in,
lidded coffee bean hopper. When the coffee grounds are spent, the
machine delivers them to the internal dump box; which can hold up to 15
expended coffee portions. It’s easy to remove and clean.
- Adjustable Beverage Dispensing Nozzle & Cup Stacking Surface - This
nozzle moves up or down to accept cup sizes up to 3.5” inches high and
can be moved aside during the brewing process. There is also
cup-stacking surface so you can keep your favorite espresso cups close
by.
- Dual ThermoBlock Boilers - The Saeco Incanto Rondo has two stainless
steel-lined ThermoBlock boilers, one for brewing and one for steam.
This same technology is found in units such as the Talea Ring Plus.
Unlike a traditional boiler, thermoblocks offer rapid warm-up times
paired with efficient, on-demand water usage. Turn on the Incanto
Rondo, and it will be ready to brew in just a few moments. The second
Rapid Steam boiler is left turned off to conserve energy until it is
needed for steam. ThermoBlock technology channels the water through the
heating element while minimizing the amount of water heated to what the
user demands. This process ensures water does not become stale sitting
in a boiler for an extended period of time. When you are ready to steam
or froth your milk, simply turn the steam knob, and the Incanto Rondo
will fire up the second boiler and start pouring out steam in about 10
seconds.
- Water Filtration -The Saeco Incanto Rondo can utilize the optional Aqua
Prima® Water Filter (sold separately) to not only improve the taste of
your coffee, but also protect the internal components of the machine.
Regular replacement of the Aqua Prima® filter ensures the removal of
chlorine, lead, aluminum, and copper for a better tasting coffee. It
will also reduce the formation of limescale and protect the Incanto
Rondo from the corrosive nature of tap water.
