Pros Sturdy Builds - This package is built to last, with both the espresso machine and the grinder being of high quality construction Easy To Use - With no unnecessary bells and whistles, it's really easy to open this package up and immediately pull delicious espresso shots Consistency - Utilizing both a burr grinder and a pressurized portafilter, the consistency of your espresso will never be in question

Cons Steam Wand Location - The steam wand swivels 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 Grinder - Some customers have indicated that the excess grinds always find their countertops and the exterior of this unit, no matter how careful they are

Features on the PRODUCT NAME

Turn on the Aroma and allow the boiler to heat. Once the coffee ready light appears, place your freshly ground espresso in the portafilter and place up on the machine. Put a cup or shot glasses under the spouts and depress the brew button to begin brewing. Press the button again to stop the flow of espresso.

• Easy to Make Espresso and Coffee: Fill the portafilter handle with finely ground espresso, tamp lightly and place up on the machine. Depress the brew button to start brewing and then press again to stop.
  
  
• Frothing Wand for Easy Foam: Simply place the frothing tip (panarello) into a milk pitcher and open the steaming knob to begin steaming milk. The specially designed wand will automatically froth the milk to the desired temperature and foaminess. The wand is mounted on a swivel for easy steaming access.
  
  
• Saeco's Patented Pressurized Portafilter Design: Typically a very fine grind of espresso (from an expensive grinder) and 30 pounds of tamp are required to achieve and ideal shot of espresso. The Aroma's heavy-duty pressurized portafilter does away with that concern by pressurizing the brewing chamber to improve extraction from almost any fineness of ground beans, promoting the perfect brewing conditions. A non-pressurized portafilter is also available for those that are into tamping their own grinds
  
  
• Large 80 oz. Water Tank: You can brew a number of espressos and then refill the reservoir right where it's at (by removing the top lid). The water tank can also be easily removed for cleaning or to refill at the sink.
  
  
• Powerful Pump For Consistent Shot Extraction: 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: The Aroma has a large stainless steel, 950-watt quick recovery boiler. And the boiler also incorporates a thermal fuse to shut down the heating element should the machine run dry during operation
  
  
• Great Wheels: At the heart of the Maestro Plus is the conical (cone-shaped) burr grinder. Swiss made and designed from hardened steel, this design is preferred by espresso machine makers to delivery consistent grinding action with minimal friction and heat build-up.
  
  
• Ultimate Quality Control: The Maestro Plus is designed to allow complete control with a flip of a switch. Choose from 18 grind settings by turning the bean hopper to the desired level, and adjust as your preferences (and tastes!) change.
