Detailed Product Features:

The New Saeco Brewing System - "SBS"

Fully Automatic Espresso & Coffee Brewing

Do you like to start your day with an espresso, but don’t want to have to clean up the mess? Just press the button and the Rondo will automatically grind your coffee beans, and dispense freshly brewed, rich and flavorful coffee into your cup. This machine allows you to choose the volume and strength of your coffee or espresso by simply pressing buttons on the control panel. Then it cleans up and is ready for the next order in less than 30 seconds. Press the brew button once for a single espresso or coffee. Pushing the brew button twice quickly will put a double shot of espresso or coffee in your cup.

Utilize the enormous flexibility of this machine’s programming options by varying the water volume up to 7 ounces and the ability to use up to 9 grams of ground coffee per brewing cycle. By experimenting with the water volume and grams of ground coffee you can fine-tune your coffee and easily program these parameters into the memory.

New Ceramic Coffee Grinder

The ceramic grinder is Saeco's most recent innovation. 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.

Hot Water Dispenser & Rapid-Steam®Technology

We’re all steamed up about Saeco's patented Rapid-Steam® system! Turn the steam knob and have instant steam for cappuccinos or lattes. Other systems can have you waiting up to 45 seconds for the steam function to be ready but not with Rapid-Steam®; you’ll have consistent steam for repeated drinks.

The special milk frothing tip delivers perfect foam every time for lattes or cappuccinos, even if you have never foamed milk before! The steam wand is located on the right front of the machine and it accommodates frothing pitchers up to 32 oz. If you need instant hot water for making tea, hot cocoa, or Americanos, the hot water feature is available at the press of a button.

2 Pre-Set Buttons for Cup Size Selection

Getting a great cup of your favorite coffee is as easy as one, two. Press one for a short and two for a café crème. Say the word, “enchanting”, and by then your coffee will be ready for you.

Espresso, Café Crème or Regular Coffee

In addition to regular espresso, the Rondo you can adjust for the coarseness of the grind, allowing you to brew a Café Creme, often referred to as Swiss brewed coffee for the country that made it popular. For a Café Crème, (or crema coffee) a coarser grind is needed. This coarser grind allows for more water to pass through, resulting in a frothy layer of coffee that floats on the top: the crema. Aromatic and rich, it is not as intense a coffee as the espresso, but equally delicious. This feature also makes the Rondo a natural replacement for traditional coffee makers.
Coffee Strength Selection

Some days you need just a bigger kick to your coffee. The Rondo has a feature that will allow you to adjust the amount of coffee to be ground for each individual cup. Adjust it from 6 grams (- sign) to 12 grams (+ sign) to change the strength of the coffee. 7 grams of ground coffee is the usual amount for espresso, 9-12 grams is used for coffee.

Special Pre-infusion Brew System Cycle

Pre-infusion allows you to get maximum flavor from the brewing process. This advanced system takes the newly ground coffee beans from the internal coffee grinder and correctly tamps the coffee. Next comes “pre-infusion”. The grounds are pre-soaked and then brewed before being discarded automatically into the internal dump box. The machine then resets itself for the next brewing cycle.

Additional Product Features, Maintenance & Information:

Built-in 68 Ounce Water Tank

The water reservoir can easily be refilled while it is still on the machine or by removing it with the easy-grip handle and filling it at the kitchen tap. The reservoir is made of clear ABS plastic so checking the water level is a breeze.

For Perfect Coffee Extraction - a Powerful Pump

Delivering a maximum pressure of 15 bars, this on board water pump pulls the maximum flavor from the coffee beans.

Coffee Bean Storage Hopper & Internal Waste Box

Keeping 1/4 pounds of beans fresh and ready for grinding is the built in, lidded coffee bean hopper. When the coffee grounds are spent, the machine delivers them to the internal dump box; which can hold up to 15 expended coffee portions. It’s easy to remove and clean.

Stainless Steel Heating System

One of the reasons the Rondo is great for anything from small commercial settings to home or office use, is its durable 1200 watt stainless steel boiler. It provides for continuous use or a lot of servings over a short time period.

Adjustable Beverage Dispensing Nozzle & Cup Stacking Surface

This nozzle moves up or down to accept cup sizes up to 3.5” inches high and can be moved aside during the brewing process. There is also cup-stacking surface so you can keep your favorite espresso cups close by.

Operational Lights and Indicators

The machine uses a system of lights and indicators to help you monitor the brewing process and signal when the machine needs to be re-supplied with water or coffee beans and when it needs to be cleaned.

Swivel Base

Getting into your espresso machine for cleaning and maintenance is important for the long life of your machine. The swivel base makes it easy to access all sides of your machine.

Cleaning & Maintenance of Components:

In order to keep the inside of your machine healthy; your machine must be cleaned periodically. 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. Saeco espresso machine cleaner can be purchased from us or by calling the support number in your user guide.

The machine will tell you when it’s time to activate the self-clean system by when the light comes on. After adding our cleaner, just press the clean button. The machine will take it from there. Descaling and general cleaning is important even if you have a sophisticated water filter system, and especially if you use well water.

Used coffee grounds are collected in the internal dump box, which can hold up to 15 spent portions of coffee before it requires emptying. Wastewater left over from the rinsing cycles is stored in a removable drip tray. When the indicator light illuminates, simply pull out the tray, empty and reinsert in seconds. All components such as the used grounds container, drip tray, and water tank can be hand washed with regular soap and water.

Installation & Accessories

Plug it in and the Rondo is ready to go. No fuss, no mess, no special plumbing for water intake or discharge and no special electrical outlets are required. Detailed instructions on the optimum care and operation of your machine is included with the purchase.
