Saeco's entry espresso machine, introduced in 2005. This machine is a slight replacement for the Classico machines. Includes pod adapter, froth aider, pressurized portafilter.

Bottom Line: Excellent bang for the buck, great starter machine, but don't snug up the portafilter too tightly!

Bottom Line: At the price I paid, it is a fabulous steal. Even at $100 more, I'd be pretty darn happy. And great coffee makes me very happy!

Bottom Line: Even though this machine is not as attractive as some other machines, it is very easy to use, which means I'll use it! It also keeps me out of the coffee shops, where I pay nearly $4 for a grande!
