CoffeeGeek - Saeco Classico - Phil Tellier's Review ()

  „ I was amazed at the quality of the crema, and the intensity and concentration of the taste.  I tied using his 100% Arabica coffee (same brand -- everything) in my Briel and like became boring...  Since then, I've tried espresso from different recommended restaurants and have concluded that the Saeco Classico was as close as you can get from commercial quality espresso in the confort of your own home.  I've organized an espresso tasting seminar by gathering friends who own espresso machines and have performed a head to head test amongst 5 different machines,using the same brewing conditions (I don't have the details on hand, but the Saeco and the Briel were two of them).“

  „The Barista comes with one of those spring loaded nightmare portafilters, guaranteed to spit out something that looks just like crema, no matter how crappy your beans are, how badly they’re ground etc. The first indication that this stuff isn’t crema is the fact that it disappears faster than the head on a warm Diet Coke. The second indication is, of course, the oh so bitter flavor of the beverage. This is in spite of ultra fresh beans (three days old) and a good vigorous tamp.“

  „...  adds 10% hazelnut flavored coffee to their house blend both to mask the taste of some lower end arabica but also to give it a unique character that folks can't quite place but many really like?  I'm not a fan of their house blend but here in the Northeast it's very popular and often a good alternative. I'd be most grateful if the HeadGeek could verify this whilst so close to the DD Bigwigs.“

  „If the decaffeinated arabica is commercially productive, naturally decaffeinated coffee could be on the market in five or six years. If it isn't, coffee from a cross with other arabicas could take up to 15 years.“

  „Easy to use, quick warm-up time, can be kept on stand-by, cleans up readily.  Makes good-tasting crema espresso, sits on kitchen counter where it is not in the way but readily accessible.  My previous model (111) required repair to pump every other year and finally required  replacement.  The pressure relief feature should give it a longer life-span between repairs.“

  „With a HOT machine and a filter basket filled with FRESH grounds, I pull 1 1/2 to 2 ounces of THICK CREMA containing espresso in a time period of 25-30 seconds.  (YES,  I do use a scoop to measure 14 - 16 grams of coffee, I do use a graduated glass container for the espresso extraction when creating a cappuccino/ latte, and I do use the timer on my Timex wristwatch to time the extraction period.)“
