Buying a Saeco coffee machine is a statement that you have decided to bring your kitchen into a new level of sophistication, but before you can buy you must determine which of Saeco’s great machines is best for you.

Saeco is maybe the the worlds top coffee and espresso machine brand, this in turn means they have a lot of models to choose from and that fact does make it a bit harder to decide what machine is best for you.

In my opinion the easiest and fastest way to determine what Saeco espresso machine is best for you and your budget is to research online by reading current owner reviews on specific Saeco expresso models. However, the problem with Saeco is that there are so many consumer reviews that it can take forever!

So, to help you cut some corners and save time I’d like to review for you, 3 of Saecos best known and highly consumer rated espresso machines. Hopefully one of the following Saeco espresso machines is the one for you!

Saeco Vienna Plus Super Automatic 4038 and 4045
This popular, feature rich espresso machine uses a high power 1250w motor, plus it has a built in grinder for coffee beans so you are not limited to only using pre-ground coffee. Finding a coffee bean grinder in a machine in the Vienna’s price band (well under $1000) is really good since they are normally only found in much more pricey automatic expresso machines.

The Vienna Super’s bean holder gives you 12 ounces (300 gram) bean holding capacity and…and this is very good, lets you program how fine you’d like it to ground the beans, a feature generally only offered by much more expensive machines. Having a bean grinder that you can set the grind level on means you will get perfect fresh ground coffee to match your personal taste. Plus you can set it to produce different espresso size shots meaning you get to control how much is made each time.

The result is that with the Vienna Plus Super Automatic you get total digital control! A often quoted favorite feature of this Saeco Expresso machine is it’s looks and design. It is stainless steel with an extremely stylish and modern look that fits in very well with both modern and rustic kitchens.

Saeco Xelsis SS Automatic
The Xelsis SS, like the Vienna is a stainless steel Saeco espresso machine but one of their more highly priced models. As you would expect with sucha model it has a bean grinder so that you can grind fresh beans to suit your taste. Plus, the Xelsis has many professional features, for instance, you can set the strength level at a per cup basis when making several at a time, this means it is a great family or dinner party expresso machine.

You can define settings for upto 6 different drinks, meaning the brewing process for fresh espresso is incredibly quick, professional cafe like in fact. A good example of how useful this can be is that you may program 6 drink options and save them, that’s ideal for a family or regular social group. Overall the Xelsis is a beautiful, sleek, top of the range model, it looks great yet functions better still. If you have budget, well worth your consideration.

Saeco Via Venezia Traditional
If you don’t feel ready the automatic Saeco espresso machine experience yet then the classical model which uses a pump is one to take into account. The Via Venezia has a digital display that’s simple to use and see your settings on. It is a popular model for lower budgets to but keep in mind that it does not come with a grinder so you can only use pre-ground coffee.

The Saeco coffee makers you look at depend on what you want from such a machine as well as, your budget. Machines such as the Xelsis SS basically give you true luxury, delicious top restaurant espresso and cappuccino in your own kitchen whereas traditional machines such as the Via Venezia give you great quality expresso with simple brewing, while a machine like the Vienna sits in the middle and is ideal for those needing or wanting the effectiveness of an automatic with great quality coffee but minus the price tag of the Xelsis.
