The 9 Best Saeco Espresso Machines

This wiki has been updated 21 times since it was first published in December of 2018. Saeco might not be as old as some of the other espresso maker manufacturers out there, but that doesn't mean their machines don't produce a fantastic cuppa. After just one or two sips, you'll never feel the urge to waste money at an expensive coffee shop again, since your home creations will rival the very best they have to offer. Here you can find both automatic and manual models. When users buy our independently chosen editorial picks, we may earn commissions to help fund the Wiki.

4. Incanto HD89

With a large 60-ounce reservoir, the Incanto HD89 (about $1099) is suitable for break rooms, yet it is still small enough to fit in most home kitchens. It's available in an automatic option with a carafe or a classic model that has a steam wand for manual frothing.

5. Primea Touch Plus

The Primea Touch Plus (about $1795) has a full-color interface that makes it simple to operate. It dispenses both coffee and frothed milk from the same spouts, which means there are less things for you to clean, and features premium ceramic grinding discs.

Tamps down grounds automatically
Adjustable drip tray height

6. X-Small Vapore

If you want something with a tiny footprint that can fit into a tight kitchen and looks sleek, then the X-Small Vapore (appx. $418) is for you. It's a bean-to-cup model, which means it grinds your coffee right before brewing, and it features a convenient automatic cleaning function.

Adjustable cup volume
Short power cord

7. Exprelia HD8856

The Exprelia HD8856 (appx. $1325) has a little knob on the front that allows you to quickly and easily adjust the strength of your shots. Two boilers, each with their own circuits, let you froth milk or dispense hot water at the same time as you are brewing.

8. Intellia Fully Automatic

The Intellia Fully Automatic (appx. $1165) features a pre-brew function that increases the strength of espresso shots, which is great for those who enjoy bold coffee. Unfortunately, it takes about four minutes from the time it is powered on to have a finished cappuccino in a cup.

See-through hopper lid
Grinds quieter than most others
Drip tray fills up quickly

9. Royal One Touch

The Royal One Touch (about $1799) has a double boiler that makes it a good choice for small offices, since there is absolutely no down time between dispensing espresso shots and frothing milk. Plus, a 12-ounce bean hopper means it won't need to be refilled too often.

Pricey for the limited functionality
