Buying yourself a Saeco coffee machine is what you do when you’ve decided it is time to upgrade your kitchen to a level of true class, but before you can make that purchase you have to decide which Saeco if best for you, and there are many to choose from.

Saeco is perhaps the worlds best known coffee and espresso machine brand, which means there are many models to consider which in turn makes your decision a little more difficult.

In my opinion the easiest and fastest way to determine what Saeco espresso machine is best for you and your budget is to research online by reading current owner reviews on specific Saeco expresso models. However, in the case of Saeco there are so many reviews that it can become very time consuming!

So, to help you cut some corners and save time I’d like to review for you, 3 of Saecos best known and highly consumer rated espresso machines. Hopefully one of the following Saeco espresso machines is the one for you!

Saeco Vienna Plus Super Automatic 4038 and 4045
This popular, feature rich espresso machine uses a high power 1250w motor, plus it has a built in grinder for coffee beans so you are not limited to only using pre-ground coffee. Having a bean grinder in a model in the price band of the Vienna is unusual (in a good way!) as bean grinders are typically only found in very much more expensive expresso machines.

The Vienna Plus bean grinder holder has a 12oz (300 gram) capacity and allows you to set how fine you’d like the beans to be ground, again a feature normally only found for a lot more cost. A bean grinder that gives you control over granularity in this way means you can treat yourself to the most perfect fresh ground coffee every time! In addition the Vienna can be set it to make different espresso size shots so you control how much coffee is made.

The result is that with the Vienna Plus Super Automatic you get total digital control! A often quoted favorite feature of this Saeco Expresso machine is it’s looks and design. The contempory stainless steel exterior looks great and suits both modern and traditional kitchens.

Saeco Xelsis SS Automatic
The Xelsis SS, like the Vienna is a stainless steel Saeco espresso machine but one of their more highly priced models. As you would expect with sucha model it has a bean grinder so that you can grind fresh beans to suit your taste. In addition the Xelsis offers lots of other very useful features, for example, there is a dial that allows you to set the strength level of each cup when making several at a time, this makes it a great family or dinner party expresso machine.

You can define settings for upto 6 different drinks, meaning the brewing process for fresh espresso is very quick, professional cafe like in fact. An example of how useful this can be is that you may program 6 drink options and save them, that’s perfect for a family or regular social group. Overall the Xelsis is a beautiful, sleek, high-end model, it looks great yet functions better still. If you have budget, really worth your consideration.

Saeco Via Venezia Traditional
If you don’t feel ready the automatic Saeco espresso machine experience yet then the classical model which uses a pump is one to think about. The Via Venezia has a digital display that’s easy to use and see your settings on. It is a popular model for lower budgets to but keep in mind that it does not come with a grinder so you can only use pre-ground coffee.

The Saeco coffee makers you look at depend on what you want from such a machine and of course, your budget. Machines such as the Xelsis SS basically offer you true luxury, delicious top restaurant espresso and cappuccino in your own kitchen whereas traditional machines such as the Via Venezia give you great quality expresso with simple brewing, while a machine like the Vienna sits in the middle and is ideal for those needing or wanting the power of an automatic with great quality coffee but minus the cost of the Xelsis.
