	After careful research, Saeco finally chose this material to put an end to grinding with metal components. Indeed ceramic is inert, and thus ensures the best results without altering the flavor of coffee. The new ceramic grinder also provides a more even grind, allowing perfect dosing and blending, and giving you more control over the density and body of your coffee. And that's not all: the amount of coffee residue left in the cup is sizably reduced. Long-lasting, minimum noise! Thanks to its sturdy build, the ceramic coffee-grinder will quietly go on grinding to the same high standard for a long time.

Simple user maintenance

Energy Saving Mode

The Espresso Machine has an energy saving mode that allows it to go into "stand-by" when not in use. Never use the power button on the machine as you can easily wake the product up by tapping the screen. You can also program your machine to awaken just before you do in the morning so that it's piping hot and ready on demand. This feature is very useful, program the machine to turn on at least a half an hour before you are ready to use it and the cup warmer will have your cups toasty for your hot latte! You can also program the machine to turn off at any designated time. All programming options are completely user-adjustable, simply see your manual or navigate through your machine's menu to browse peruse the options available to you.

Aqua Prima Water Filtration

Use the Saeco Aqua Prima water filter to pre-treat the water that enters your Espresso Machine. Protect your investment with these easily replaceable and inexpensive water filters. Simply insert the Aqua Prima water filter into the water tank, prime your machine, and let the filter take care of your machine. No need to purchase expensive bottled water!

Automatic Rinsing Cycle

Your machine can be programmed to perform a rinse every time you wake the machine from energy-saving mode. This process allows the internal piping and brew group to be flushed with hot water prior to making your first cup! The rinsing process also expells any residule coffee left-over from your previous brew, insuring an ultra fresh, clean brew. Your machine is pre-set from the factory to automatically perform the rinse cycle.

Cleaning Cycle

Run a cleaning cycle one a week to flush the brew group of any left-over deposits. Simply insert a Cleanng Tablet in the bypass-doser and run the coffee cleaning cycle. This process will aide in cleaning your brew group. Brew Group should be removed from machine, behind simple access door, and rinsed at the sink once every two weeks or so.

Descaling Cycle

Scale buildup from naturally occurring minerals in your water can build up on sensitive components like the inside of the boiler, which left unchecked can cause considerable damage to the machine. By descaling your machine every two-three months, your machine will last for many trouble-free years. Use ONLY Saeco descaler, available in one year supply boxes, to descale your machine.
