Pros
- Steel Case - The all 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.
- Bi-Pass Doser - Need the flavor without all the hype? You can brew with pre-ground decaf coffee as well.
| 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

How it Works

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.
- Fully Automatic Espresso & Coffee Brewing - Do
you like to start your day with an espresso, but don’t want to have to
clean up the mess? Just press the button and the Incanto will
automatically grind your coffee beans, and dispense freshly brewed,
rich and flavorful coffee into your cup. This machine allows you to
choose the volume and strength of your coffee or espresso by simply
pressing buttons on the control panel. Then it cleans up and is ready
for the next order in less than 30 seconds. Press the brew button once
for a single espresso or coffee. Pushing the brew button twice quickly
will put a double shot of espresso or coffee in your cup.
Utilize
the enormous flexibility of the this machine’s programming options by
varying the water volume up to 7 ounces and the ability to use up to 9
grams of ground coffee per brewing cycle. By experimenting with the
water volume and grams of ground coffee you can fine-tune your coffee
and easily program these parameters into the memory. - 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. - 2 Pre-Set Buttons for Cup Size Selection - Getting
a great cup of your favorite coffee is as easy as one, two. Press one
for a short and two for a café crème. Say the word, “enchanting”, and
by then your coffee will be ready for you.
- Espresso, Café Crème or Regular Coffee - In
addition to regular espresso, 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.
- Coffee Strength Selection - Some
days you need just a little bigger kick to your coffee. The Incanto has
a feature that will allow you to adjust the amount of coffee to be
ground for each individual cup. Adjust it from 6 grams (- sign) to 9
grams (+ sign) to change the strength of the coffee. 7 grams of ground
coffee is the usual amount for espresso, 9 grams is used for coffee.
- 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 Coffee Grinder with 18 Settings - Proper
grinding is at the core of excellent coffee production. The Incanto has
a built-in, conical type burr grinder with 18 different choice of
grind, from very fine to coarse. The same type used by the
professionals. Pushing the brew button sets the cycle in motion with
the grinder measuring out the correct amount of beans for the selection
made and then grinding it to specifications.
Conical burr
grinders are made up of a cone shaped grinding wheel that turns slow
enough not to burn the coffee beans, (a problem with low cost
grinders). The heavy-duty steel of the grinding wheel promotes a life
of long service and that’s strong enough to resist damage from the
little stones that sometimes slip in with the beans. This durable
construction is consistent with top quality machines and little or no
maintenance or service is needed. - Built-in 68 Ounce Water Tank - The
water reservoir can easily be refilled while it is still on the machine
or by removing it with the easy-grip handle and filling it at the
kitchen tap. The reservoir is made of clear ABS plastic so checking the
water level is a breeze.
- 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.
- Stainless Steel Heating System - One
of the reasons the Incanto is great for anything from small commercial
settings to home or office use, is its durable 1200 watt stainless
steel boiler. It provides for continuous use or a lot of servings over
a short time period.
- 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.
- Operational Lights and Indicators - The
machine uses a system of lights and indicators to help you monitor the
brewing process and signal when the machine needs to be re-supplied
with water or coffee beans and when it needs to be cleaned.
- Swivel Base - Getting
into your espresso machine for cleaning and maintenance is important
for the long life of your machine. The swivel base makes it easy to
access all sides of your machine.
- Cleaning & Maintenance of Components - In
order to keep the inside of your machine healthy; your machine must be
cleaned periodically. Scale buildup from naturally occurring minerals
in your water can build up on sensitive components like the inside of
the boiler, which left unchecked can cause considerable damage to the
machine. By descaling your machine every two-three months, your machine
will last for many trouble-free years. Saeco espresso machine cleaner
can be purchased from us or by calling the support number in your user
guide.
The machine will tell you when it’s time to activate
the self-clean system by when the light comes on. After adding our
cleaner, just press the clean button. The machine will take it from
there. Descaling and general cleaning is important even if you have a
sophisticated water filter system, and especially if you use well
water.
Used coffee grounds are collected in the internal dump
box, which can hold up to 15 spent portions of coffee before it
requires emptying. Wastewater left over from the rinsing cycles is
stored in a removable drip tray. When the indicator lights illuminates,
simply pull out the tray, empty and reinsert in seconds. All components
such as the used grounds container, drip tray, and water tank can be
hand washed with regular soap and water.
