Saeco Royal Super-Automatic Gran Crema Espresso Machine Pricing

Just having a quick look at this machine, one can already notice it is slightly bulkier than our entry-level Saeco Minuto. Why? Well, firstly the machines output capabilities outdo the Minuto, hands-down. It can make an Espresso, Cappuccino, Café Creme, Frothed Milk, Espresso Macchiato as well as a Latte Macchiato – furthermore, dispensing hot water at the touch of a button to assist in making your tea. With a completely removable brew group, ease of maintenance couldn’t be easier. Couple that with an automatic descaling cycle and a ceramic grinder (ensuring quality without compromise as we mention in this Blog post) – the Super Royal Automatic is really an excellent step-up from the Saeco Minuto. Another additional feature of this machine is the automatic milk frother; while the Minuto has an external milk cannister which froths your milk on demand, the Royal Super-Auto machine has an external spout to (Somewhat) professionally froth your milk. Given all these added features, along with a 2.2 litre tank make this the perfect hybrid and correct choice for larger home and smaller offices. The price this little wonder carries for outright purchase is close on R 12 000.00.

Saeco Intelia Evo Automatic Espresso Machine Pricing

Although lacking a bypass doser, this machine is a great in-betweener for the Minuto and the Gran Crema. In terms of pricing, R 8000.00 is what you can expect to pay for this beautiful form of quality convenience. Another excellent hybrid-style factor is that integrated milk frother and jug. Although small, the water container capacity of 1.5 litres will suffice in the correct setting (also suggested for smaller offices or home based usage.) The aesthetic styling is nothing to look past – and neither is the standard 2 year guarantee on the product.

Saeco Exprelia Evo Super-Automatic Espresso Machine Pricing

The one and only stainless steel automatic Saeco Coffee Machine, the appearance of this machine is something to behold. “Made in Italy” is sometimes the only stamp of quality you might need- and this most definitely bears that stamp. It does weigh a bit more – coming in at 16 kg’s, but the additional features are well worth the slight extra bulk; the Exprelia Evo contains an override doser, and another feature almost no other machines can boast. With both an external milk frother cannister, this beaut also bears an external manual milk frother. So whether you are a first time user or professional who enjoys the mark of quality suggested by then name Saeco, you are sure to enjoy the features this piece of magic holds. The aesthetic is also quite pleasing – with the LCD display screen and stainless steel finish. The price? Although almost impossible to find a local price for this machine, Amazon offers it for the average (due to fluctuating exchange rates) for around R 30 000.00 new – and about R 17 000.00 used. Why is this machine so expensive? Remember we went through the contributing factors to a coffee machine’s price? If not- read about it here. We know that the materials used in coffee machines are one of the greatest price influencers. Bearing in mind Saeco has not cut any corners and made use of nothing less than stainless steel and ceramic grinders, with varied grind size settings and product output – your price may be justified if longevity and product absolute quality is a factor.

Saeco Focus Manual Coffee Machine Pricing

Take away all the bells and whistles, leave behind the tried and tested components and you are left with Saeco’s entry-level, high quality bean to cup coffee machine., Although it’s not “automatic” in the most traditional terms, it does boast a Panarello Manual Milk frother, but simultaneously lacks a built in grinder. For some this may be a nuisance, but for the more experienced coffee maker, this allows for a bit of wriggle room for artistic display. Having said that, once you have figured out your way around the working of this machine, you may enjoy the freedom of expression it allows for brewing each special cuppa. Coming in at less than R 2 000.00 for outright purchase, this machine requires skills, not bills.
