Product Information
The sleek stainless steel design of the Saeco 10-cup thermal coffee maker adds a modern and stylish finish that adapts to any kitchen décor. The sturdy conical burr grinder can grind up to 8.5 oz. of whole beans at the touch of a button. The sealed lid around the bean hopper ensures freshness and protects the machine from the atmosphere. The grind setting can be adjusted using 8 different settings, from fine to coarse. With the large steam ventilation area and easy clean window it allows viewing of the coffee grounds at all times to prevent clogging. The advanced control panel features a large blue backlit LCD and displays the many functions and settings of the machine. Cup selector, aroma selector, 24-hour programmable timer, grinder off option and cleaning indicator light are all clearly displayed. Use the cup selector to brew your coffee specifically to the exact quantity you want to ensure freshness and aroma no matter how many cups brewed. The aroma selector lets you choose the strength of the coffee brewed from mild, medium or strong. If you choose to use pre-ground coffee; simply turn the grinder off using the grind off option and use the filter basket instead. When it is time for the machine to be cleaned a reminder icon will appear letting you know when descaling needs to be preformed.

I have had this product for about 2 weeks and have owned several different brands of grind and brew machines over the years.Thus far- coffee is good (on strong); clean-up is simple; programming requires a little experience on sequencing (I've owned other brands and seem to revert back to old habits).The carafe design, however, is horrible. Whether filling the water reservoir or filling the cup, it leaks all the time unless you pour at a dribble rate (for the 1st cup of coffee in the morning? Come on!!!). About 1 cup of water seems to run over the counter when filling the reservoir. This seems to be a function of the narrow width of the spout. Should be an easy fix.Also, the carafe design always seems to leave about 1/2 cup of water in the carafe when filling the reservoir until you practically turn the carafe upside down.

as another reviewer said - i bought this despite the reviews thinking that people were being fussy. unfortunately the machine has issues that most people will find annoying. that said, if you play around a bit, you can get a great cup of coffee. issues:1) manual is a joke. not consumer friendly. not helpful. bare bones.2) carafe is terrible. all the comments about difficulty of pouring are accurate. to pour without spilling, you need to do it at a trickle. carafe also does not keep coffee hot for very long.3)i'm finding the grinder to be a little fussy.. if you don't move beans around with your finger then they may not go into the grinder. there are moments you hear the grinder going but nothing being ground.4) for some reason the "check basket" light comes on automatically before every use.all of this is aggravated by saeco usa customer service being non-existent. emails are not returned. web messages are not answered. no live phone reps and messages are not returned. between this and the manual, i have to say saeco has no sense of being customer focused or friendly.tips for getting a good cup of coffee:1) use a very find grind2) set brew to "strong"3) set machine to grind 2 more cups of beans than you actually need. to make 6 cups -- set machine to grind for 8 cups -- and fill with 6 cups of waterthat's my two cents!*** UPDATE 5/4 - while I still have the same issues, I did get connected to Saeco customer service and they have been helpful and very responsive

I purchased one of these with the expectation that it would be as easy to use as other similar brands I have previously purchased. The one I received had a defect in that the retractable metal device that opens to let the grinds through and closes to keep the steam out of the grinder path would get stuck closed and not let the grinder pass the grounds into the basket. The folks at Saeco USA were helpful but didn't have one to send me to replace it but noted it in case I had a problem with replacement.Makes a good strong cup of coffee.Stainless steel carafe means:1. You had better heat it up with hot water prior to use or the coffee will be cool.2. No heating element to keep it warm or fix number 1 above - the steel carafe is suppose to maintain the temperature.3. No breaking the glass carafeI agree opening the carafe is a bit awkward and annoying.I used to purchase a similar product from Capresse, while it was better and easier to use in many ways, it broke down in constant use at home and at work (I purchase 3 of them).
