Saeco has a NEW entry level fully automatic
espresso, cappuccino and coffee center called the Saeco Easy. This machine
offers the same superior brewing technology as Saeco's more expensive machines,
but the Easy does not have a lot of extra bells and whistles. If you want a
basic machine for brewing superb espresso, coffee, and the ability to froth milk
for lattes, cappuccinos, and cafe mochas, the Easy is for you. The Easy is a
winner not only for its innovative design but also for its easy operation. The
innovation is in the control panel with the new coffee control ring that allows
you to regulate the quantity of coffee poured into each cup with the simple
turning of a knob to make any type of coffee.
Detailed Product Features:
Aqua Prima Water Filter
OPTIONAL water filter for a more robust coffee. With Aqua Prima the number of
flavor-altering substances found in water are reduced, and any micro-particles
and impurities are filtered. So you can enjoy the improved flavor and full aroma
of your coffee. Aqua Prima also reduces the formation of lime scale in the
machine so that it lasts even longer.
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 Easy
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 the this machine’s programming options by
varying the water volume up to 7 ounces and the ability to use up to 12 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.
Hot Water Dispenser & Powerful Milk Frothing Wand
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, with the Easy 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 courser 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 Easy a natural replacement for
traditional coffee makers.
Coffee Strength Selection
Some days you need just a bigger kick to your
coffee. The Easy 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
9 grams (+ sign) to change the strength of the coffee. 7 grams of ground coffee
is the usual amount for espresso, 9 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 Easy 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 a heated 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.
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
if 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
lights 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 Easy 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 along with a brewing
