Saeco - Italian coffee tradition meets innovation
1.7.2017
Translation: machine translated
Driven by their quest for perfection, Italians Sergio Zappella and Arthur Schmed invented the fully automatic espresso machine for home use in 1985. They have always worked hard to preserve their proud approach and tradition and bring the ultimate Italian coffee experience to your home. Today, Saeco holds 110 patents and always endeavours - with great attention to detail - to pay respect to espresso.
The most important milestones in the history of Saeco fully automatic coffee machines
Fully automatic espresso machine
Saeco invented the first fully automatic espresso machine with the "Superautomatica". An ideal and simple way to prepare and grind coffee beans and the perfect way to make espresso with full flavour and crema - at the touch of a button.

Cappuccinatore
Thanks to the introduction of the "Cappuccinatore", it has been possible to brew first-class cappuccino at home since 1996. The automatic milk frother uses fresh milk, which is frothed at the touch of a button. The milk is drawn directly from the container using a hose and the cappuccino is prepared.
Aroma system
Only two years after the "Cappuccinatore", the flavour system is introduced. With its help, the ground coffee is moistened during the pre-brewing process to bring out any hidden structures. This allows the various aromas to fully develop and the bean to unfold its full flavour.
Brewing system
New millennium, new brewing system. This allows coffee lovers to individually adjust the crema and flavour of the espresso using a practical wheel. The grinder is made entirely of ceramic and is therefore extremely robust. This patented technology ensures that the full flavour of the bean can unfold, regardless of the coffee blend used.
Adapting system
The Adapting System was introduced in 2007 and is an intelligent grinder that automatically adapts the grind size to the coffee bean.
Latte Perfetto technology
Since 2012, the patented Latte Perfetto technology has been frothing the milk twice. This technology not only ensures perfect milk froth, but also optimum hygiene thanks to the dual cleaning function.
VariPresso brewing group
One year later, the brew group invented by Saeco is further revolutionised. The freely adjustable brewing pressure and variable coffee dosage offer unlimited coffee preparation options and the two-pressure process ensures perfect espresso.
Networking for the home
The world's first coffee machine with connectivity will be launched in 2014 - the "GranBaristo Avanti". Up to six users can create profiles, compile and customise their coffee specialities via smartphone and tablet and call them up at any time. Operation is simple and the app provides statistics on consumption as well as information on maintenance and care of the fully automatic coffee machine.
Aqua Clean filter
Since 2015, the Aqua Clean filter has ensured that pure water is provided for perfect coffee and that Saeco fully automatic coffee machines only need to be descaled after 5000 cups of 1dl or 2 years. [[productlist:5314434]]

The Saeco Incanto sets new standards in its class and impresses with its elegant design and impressive coffee quality
The high-quality technology from Italy, developed for great coffee, ensures first-class performance and high capacity in a particularly compact format. The robust 100% ceramic grinder guarantees moments of pure coffee enjoyment for years to come. The ceramic material produces the ideal degree of grinding, allowing the water to flow through continuously and preserving the pure flavour of the beans. And unlike other "normal grinders", the ceramic material prevents the coffee from overheating and tasting burnt. From espresso to latte macchiato, there's a range of options just waiting to satisfy your coffee craving. Saeco Incanto cleverly combines efficiency with mindfulness for the highest standard in your home, keeping water and energy consumption low. And with the programmable standby function, you can simply tell Saeco Incanto when it's not needed and it will switch off automatically. It's that simple!
Saeco Incanto Extra fits into even the smallest corner of your kitchen with its smart design thanks to its ultra-compact format, which offers space for a single-serve container (15 portions). The machine also offers additional capacity for water (2.5 litres) and coffee beans (500g) for unparalleled convenience and longer coffee enjoyment. When time is of the essence, you can make the perfect espresso and cappuccino without waiting thanks to the fast-heating continuous flow heater. The secret lies in its housing made of lightweight aluminium and stainless steel, which can quickly reach high temperatures. Thanks to the automatic cleaning process, the machine is always kept clean and its service life is extended. So you have more time to enjoy your coffee.
