To some people, the cup of coffee they enjoy in the morning is the most important beverage they have the entire day. With the Saeco Talea Giro espresso machine, you can enjoy a wide range of drinks with a touch of a button. This fully automated unit will grind your coffee beans, tamp them just right and then brew you your shots. You can adjust how strong you want your shots to be and you can also determine how much water to use, as well. The entire process is fully controllable and even your clean up is a snap. If you take coffee seriously, than this is a serious machine just for you.
Features
Looking at the price tag, it is amazing that this model doesn’t cost more. The front of the unit is graced by a large button featuring a coffee cup logo. A simple touch of this button and your coffee is on the way. You can program your machine to make the perfect shots at just the right moment or you can simply press a button and enjoy your drink at that moment. The boiler here is stainless steel and the new Rapid Steam system lets you go from brewing to frothing in seconds.
Convenience
At first glance, you may think that a machine that costs this much must require you to be an expert in the field of brewing coffee. In reality, the fully automated brewing process only has to be as complicated as you want it to be. This unit allows for a more manual touch if you want to be in control of what is going on, but even the automated setting allows you to change the strength of your pours as well as the quality. The Saeco Talea Giro espresso machine might just be the most convenient unit on the market.
Style
Although this automated unit is a bit bulky and a bit of a counter hog, it is still a beautiful shape and the grey, silver and black color scheme easily fits in with any décor you may have. The Saeco Talea Giro espresso machine features duel pouring channels so that you can make two drinks at once. The cup stand is elegant and gently curved, which only adds to the overall look. Overall, this model will be a welcome addition to any kitchen.
Value
Any unit that features the full level of automation is often far more expensive than this particular unit, so that fact alone makes this a great value. Even among other mid-range automated machines, you will usually save a few hundred dollars by picking this one over the competition. Saeco Talea Giro espresso machines have the reputation for lasting longer than most of their competitors, so you also add value to your purchase that way, as well. You do have to be a pretty religious coffee drinker to get enough usage out of this model by yourself, but if you are brewing drinks for your family and friends, as well, than this is a great model to buy.
What People Are Saying
Reviews for this model are mixed, with some people citing a poor performance while others rave about the ease of use and the ability for quick clean up. Where does the truth lie? It is unclear, you could have 100 people testing a product and you are going to have a few bugs mixed in with the units that work perfectly. An espresso maker is a complex machine, especially when fully automated. Overall, this company has an excellent reputation and it is unlikely that they would risk their reputation with a lemon.
Overall
The mid priced market for automated cappuccino machines is crowded, but the beauty, functionality and reputation that this model has is enough for many people to trust this brand over any other. Even though this brand brags about its one-touch system, make sure you read all of the directions before starting out. Otherwise, you won’t get the full experience here. If you are one of the millions of people around the world that are searching for a machine that takes coffee and raises it to an art form, this is the machine you have been looking for.
