This is the Saeco’s answer to minimalist engineering! While Saeco’s new super-automatic is easy to use, this is no poor man’s espresso machine. The Easy goes beyond the basics to offer convenience and several features to help tailor espresso drinks to your taste. With minimum prep work, you can set up your machine to produce a quality espresso shot time after time. The Easy has a professional burr grinder built in the top of the machine with a dial that lets you adjust the degree of grind for different styles of coffee. With 18 settings there is plenty of room to choose a fine grind for espresso or a coarse grind for “café crema.” The adjustable doser, which is controlled by another knob also located in the bean hopper, lets you vary how much (6-9 grams) coffee goes into each shot of espresso. And lastly, a knob in the center of the display control panel allows you to choose how much coffee you want in each cup. For example, turning the knob counter-clockwise will result in less liquid and a stronger tasting coffee. After making these choices, the Easy will do the rest. Touch the push button marked with a coffee mug once for a single shot or twice for a double shot. Pretty simple, isn’t it? Then it automatically grinds the beans and tamps the grounds, the Saeco Aroma System® moistens the grind just before brewing. This pre-infusion helps extract the most aromatic coffee possible and after this is done, your espresso will flow into your cup. Once you have dialed in the espresso to your liking, specialty drinks like lattes and cappuccinos are one step away. Their famous Pannarello steam wand froths and steams milk evenly to create a thick, creamy froth no matter what your experience level. So while the Easy is a great introduction for those new to home espresso makers, it is also a great machine for someone looking to upgrade. The Saeco Easy is housed in metal and comes in black with gray accents. Accessories include a brew group key, a cleaning brush, and a detailed instruction manual. As our introductory special we are including one can of Taylor Maid Coffee with each machine during May
