Review A Demo made by Saeco

Features:

• Rapid Steam® - Rapid Steam® technology reduces the normal waiting time between coffee brewing and steam output to just a few seconds, so you can froth milk to make cappuccinos, lattes, and macchiato coffee at the simple turn of the steam knob.
• Adjustable Built-In Ceramic Grinder - For perfect-tasting coffee every time. The ceramic grinder is Saeco's most recent innovation, available in all new models of the Saeco range of automatic coffee machines. After careful research, Saeco finally chose this material to put an end to grinding with metal components. Ceramic is inert, and thus ensures the best results without altering the flavor of the coffee. Moreover, it is perfectly safe to use. The new ceramic grinder also provides a more consistent 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 substantially reduced. Long-lasting, minimum noise! Thanks to its sturdy build, the ceramic coffee grinder will quietly grind to the same consistency and high standards for a longer period of time.
• Bean Hopper - The cover to the bean hopper has three exciting features; there is a magnet integrated into the cover so the machine will not operate when the cover is off (important safety feature); the grinder adjustment key can be used to change from one of three built in grind fineness settings; and, there is a rubber seal on the bean hopper cover to maintain bean freshness
• Pannarello Frothing Device - The Pannarello frothing device dispenses steam in three different directions and makes it easy to froth milk for cappuccinos and lattes. It also dispenses hot water for making hot drinks and soups, and is completely removable for easy cleaning.
• Aqua Prima Water Filter Capable - The Aqua Prima water filter was developed to remove impurities from your water that alter the taste of your coffee. The Aqua Prima water filter’s purpose is to improve the taste of your coffee while protecting your machine from limescale damage. Filter is available at optional cost.
• GIRO interface - The GIRO interface dial allows you to select how much water gets pump through the coffee grinds and allows selection of three different amounts of whole bean coffee to be ground.
• Saeco OptiDose - Adjustable 7-10.5 gram doser, regulates the amount of beans to grind per serving.
• Easy Clean System - Easily removable brew group for chemical-free cleaning. Sliding wheel base for convenient rotation.
• Cup Warming Surface - Controlled cup warming surface holds up to six espresso cups.

Notes:

1. Important information about warranty! Saeco offers a one year parts and labor warranty limited to manufacturer's defects. There are competitive web sites that offer free extended warranties with purchase. Please make sure to read the fine print - usually buried in their web sites 3 layers deep or not even provided until you receive the order. Their gimmick for the second year is that you pay for shipping both ways, pay for labor, and there are charges if machine was not taken care of/maintained. Saeco's one year warranty does pay shipping back to you and there is no labor charge unless damaged by you or in transit.

3. Some customers ask us what is the difference between the Saeco Odea GO and GIRO models. There are 2 basic features that the Saeco Odea GIRO have:
   
   a) The GIRO has two boilers (thermo blocks) - one dedicated for steam and one dedicated for coffee. this means there is no wait time to get to steam mode to steam/froth the milk, and there is no running of water through the steam wand to lower the temperature of the coffee boiler as needs to occur in the Odea GO espresso machine. This feature is known as Rapid Steam
   
   b) On the GIRO interface dial, there is a push button with three coffee beans pictured. This button allows the user to select how much whole bean coffee gets ground. As each bean lights up, more beans get ground and this adds to the strength of the espresso. This is known as AROMA Opti-Dose.
4. Do not use pre-flavored coffee beans in this or any other superautomatic espresso machine, as the sugars on these beans could cause damage. We recommend instead flavoring the coffee after it has been brewed.
5. Pre-ground coffee can only be used in super automatics that have a bypass doser. Unfortunately, the Odea line does not have this feature.
6. The orange version is no longer available.
