Review of Saeco A-EY-Bk Easy Fully Automatic Espresso Machine, Black

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)At first we thought ours was defective, because it had to be primed (letting water flow through the steam wand) after every brew cycle, and the front knob wasn't working.After using it for a week with these problems, it seemed to fix itself, I guess it just needed to be "broken in".But we ended up sending it back anyway, and the reason was that when the grounds emptied into the grounds hopper, it leaked quite a bit of coffee into the drip tray.Well, we found out later that this is something that happens with every automatic espresso machine, and I personally think it's just too irritating, and doubt I'll ever get another automatic espresso machine because of it.If anyone knows of an automatic espresso machine that does not do this, please respond to this review.Other than that, it was a fine machine, and I would recommend to anyone having initial problems with it to use it for at least a week and see if they don't go away.

Product Description:
The name of Saeco's new super-automatic says it all: Easy.The Easy goes beyond the basics to offer convenience and several features to help tailor espresso drinks to your taste. With minimal 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 into the top of the machine with a dial that lets you adjust the degree of grind for different drinks. The 18 settings give you plenty of room to choose a fine grind for espresso or a coarse grind for cafe crema. The adjustable doser, which is controlled by a similar knob also located in the bean hopper, lets you vary how much (6-9 grams) coffee goes into each shot of espresso. And finally, 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 mug once for a single shot or twice for a double shot.
