Is this kit for the Intuita?
Does it have the O ring for the Intuita?
Do I need replacement O rings or just descaler and lubricant which I can buy separately. Thanks

Best Answer: Yes, you can use the items in this kit on the Intuita. It is quite infrequent that you will need to replace the o-ring on the brew unit, and lubricating the brew unit will be infrequently too (we typically recommend just if you start to notice a loud squeal as the machine brews), so you could certainly purchase descaler separately in between these maintenance kits. We recommend using either the Saeco Descaler, Dezcal, or Durgol, they will all do the same job.

Is the best kit for the Starbucks' Barista version of the Saeco machine?
Best Answer: The Saeco Maintenance Kit has some Intenza water filters and brew unit o-rings that are intended for many super automatic machines (those that have a built in grinder). Since Saeco made a Barista super automatic machine as well as a Barista semi automatic machine (without automatic grinding), I would only recommend this kit if your machine has a built in grinder and takes the Intenza filters. If, however, your Barista is a semi automatic machine and looks similar to the Via Venezia, I would recommend the Seattle Coffee Gear Tune Up Kit for the Via Venezia, found at the link below:

Does the water filter in this kit fit the Saeco Xelsis? I purchased this kit but I'm unable to get it to fit inside the water reservoir.
If this water filter doesn't fit, can you recommend one that does?
If this water filter doesn't fit, can you recommend one that does?
Best Answer: The Intenza water filters included in this Maintenance kit are the right filters for the Xelsis. How are yours not fitting? I would recommend making sure you are removing the particle filter from your machine first- the small white filter in the tank. Then, if your filter is not staying seated, try soaking it in some water overnight. It should fit just fine, but if you are still having trouble, give us a call and we'd be happy to help! 866-372-4734
Hi there,
I have a saeco intelia plus and I was wondering about the coffee oil cleaning tablets that are no longer included with the current/new maintenance kit. Where 's the best place to find those OEM Saeco tablets or would it be okay to use the Urnex Cafiza brand espresso machine cleaning tablets to do the job? From what I see, the Cafiza tablets are a little smaller (each 1.2g). Would you happen to know how many grams each Saeco tablet is? Do you think I would be able to use 2 tablets per cleaning cycle? Help!

Help!
Best Answer: We do not recommend more than just one Cafiza tablet, and they work great as a substitute for the Saeco branded coffee cleaning tablets. You could even choose the powder Cafiza and use about 1/2 teaspoon per cleaning in the bipass doser of your Saeco machine, or dissolve that amount in some hot water and soak the brew unit of any machine without a bipass doser. I am not sure where you may be able to find Saeco branded cleaning tablets, but Cafiza will work really great as well. Hope this helps!
I have a new Saeco Vienna Plus, will this kit work IE: water filters, cleaning tablets, etc or should I just buy separate items?

I purchased a Saeco odea go as a refurbished item from another seller and it did not come with a water filter or the maintenance items. I am so pleased with my new machine that I wanted to keep it in perfect condition and running smoothly.Price Quality Value
The Seattle Coffee gear company had the best price on the market. Very happy with them. If I ever need another machine I will buy it from them. (Posted on 10/21/2013) - dutch coffee nutReview by willie

Bought this to keep my new investment the Talea Touch going smoothly. So far so good. The only issue I have is there are no detailed instructions on how to lubricate the brew group. It says, lubricate all moving parts, but there looks to be a lot that moves. Would be great to have illustrations on what exactly to lubricate. Otherwise, a must have.Price Quality Value
Pros:
Easy To Use, All that you need
Cons:
Instructions are brief (Posted on 7/18/2010)
