How does it work?

I got lucky about a year back and won a Saeco Aroma Espresso Machine from a contest put on by a local radio station. I would never pay the kind of money that this unit costs in stores just for a fancy coffee machine, I mean I checked up on it, and... read entire review

Saeco Espresso Machine

Ok. I work at a coffee shop and i know how expensive a latte can be every morning on your way to work. So instead of paying $3 with my discount i went out and bought my own espresso machine at Bed Bath And Beyond. This machine works just like the 3000... read entire review

Somewhat of a dissapointment

I purchased this unit through Costco with a limited-time discount. I had read relatively good reviews (elsewhere) so I figured that, for the money, I was making a relatively good decision. The unit came to me and immediately impressed me with its... read entire review

  • Pros: Pressurized portafilter makes excellent espresso with nearly any quality of coffee grind. Easy operation
  • Cons: Questionable reliability. Vibrations/ratting from normal operation noisy and interferes with water supply.
  • The Bottom Line: At this price-point, I think there are better choices such as the Gaggia Evolution.

Easy to use, good expresso

EXCELLENT VALUE, CONSISTENT RESULTS

I've had my Aroma for about 3 months and am very happy with the speed, looks, construction quality and consistency of the brew. As with the prior review, I just flip it on in the a.m., prime the pump, and within minutes I have a perfect doppio with a... read entire review

  • Pros: Construction/brew quality, ease of use, compact, economical, big resevoir
  • Cons: requires priming of the pump, not the most stylish

Excellent home machine

My first espresso machine was a Gaggia basic (less than $200) which died after 2 years of daily use. I replaced it with the Saeco Aroma (stainless version, $300 at Costco) which I highly recommend. It outperforms the Gaggia in every respect: excellent... read entire review

Craphole Machine

I received this for a Christmas present. I used it once and the little piec'o'crapo aka Panarello attachment will not stay connected to the metal wand for the frothing attachment. Now that it does not work I cannot find anyone to help. Oh, I can find a... read entire review

  • Pros: really no pros that I can find with over $200 for a machine
  • Cons: The directions are horrible. Not a good enough cup of coffee for $200 dollars.
