[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] On other machines it cost from 0.75 to 1.25 a cup and not always the best coffee. For between 0.25 to 0.30 got way better coffee Downside: 1) the recipient for water is too small and with the auto-clean is always empty 2) no previous warning that the water is too low... result half a cup of coffee

I love my coffee and purchased this for my 70th birthday present to me. It took a while to get the set up to make the coffee that I wanted. But after than, the coffee is consistent. Problems: 1) The waste bin indicates full after only a 4-5 cycles 2) The water bin indicates empty when its 1/3-1/2 full 3) The largest issue is that the beans cavitats and not allow the grinder to process the correct amount of coffee. I have to routinely shake the bean distributor. The milk frother works great.

We bought this Saeco unit to replace another Saeco that had broken after two years. It makes great coffee and espresso. We hope it lasts longer
