Product Description

Making delicious espresso at home is easy when you've got the right equipment and it can be affordable too. Saeco Aroma is a traditional electric espresso maker that can be counted on to deliver excellent espresso, cappuccino and lattes with ease and comfort thanks to the patented pressurized portafilter and panerello milk frother. Made in Italy, the Saeco Aroma is designed for those that seriously enjoy coffee but want the process to be simple yet reliable. Controls are well laid out and easy to use. The control panel features back lit buttons. The flat black metal cabinet looks spectacular too. The Aroma accepts your favorite espresso ground coffee (the pressure filter handle can accept a wider range of espresso grinds while still giving good crema) and is also adaptable to accept ESE type coffee pods. So make and share delicious espresso with family and friends to celebrate the glories of life and living every day.

The best espresso machine I owned.

Review Date: September 7, 2008

This machine works great, it is heavy duty metal case and does delicious creamy espresso. This machine does not leak like the gaggia I tryed before and for the price it is far the best I used. If you get it from Amazon you will get the best service ever! The water tank on the back is removable to fill and clean, the water retention tank for the coffee drops below is also removable, easy to clean, big enough and of very good quality. The metal grill does not rust and the portafila is solid. Saeco is the perfect Italian espresso lover's machine and it is so solid that it's like it was German made and not Italian :) I checked a lot of brands, models and review and that's from far the best I found for the bucks. I owned fully automatic machines for 10x the price paid here and that one is doing better espresso than any of them... This machine is a hit!

No bells and whistles; just makes consistently great espresso.

I considered buying a better-looking Saeco machine then realized I would be paying $400 for the same functionality as this $150 Saeco model. This is a great little espresso maker...consistent, easy to use, easy to clean. Makes a nice double shot in about 15 seconds, comes out in a perfect thin stream just as it should. Beautiful crema. Reheats very quickly after brewing and steaming. The portafilter head is much heavier than the older comparable Saeco I owned, seems sturdier. My only complaint is the same as everyone else's, that the steamer arm doesn't bend, but once you realize not to overfill your milk container, it's no big deal.

This is a simple machine that works great day after day. Unless you need a BMW on your kitchen counter (the Sbux Sirena...) this will do the job for you, for a lot less money.

Great coffeemaker!!!

I did a lot of research before committing the funds to buy this machine and I have not been disappointed. This is a high quality machine and the customer service has been excellent when I had questions. I make 6 shots of espresso per day and this machine feels like it will last a long time.

Excellent, consistent, easy to use

All I do with this machine is make espresso, and make a lot of it. At least 2 shots per day, often more. It's simple to use and makes consistently excellent espresso with nice crema. People's complaints about the milk steamer are valid: it's a little awkward to use.
