| Dialing up perfection has never been easier. The Incanto S-Class Rondo RS SBS is one of the newest Saeco super automatic machines designed with the serious coffee drinker in mind. Experience individual flavor ¿ with one turn of the dial The Saeco Brewing System makes it easy for anyone to brew coffee precisely to their individual tastes. The SBS feature regulates the amount of water pressure used to brew each cup, which changes the consistency and flavor of the espresso. Turning the dial located on the front of the dispensing head to the right delivers a robust Italian espresso, turning it to the left delivers a milder, American-style cup of coffee. A truly innovative feature, the Incanto Rondo has a brewing dial which allows the user to choose from 1 to 8 ounces of espresso/coffee. Simple turn the dial to the amount of coffee desired and press the brew button for delicious coffee. If you want two cups, press the two cup button, and the machine will automatically brew two cups of espresso/coffee. A truly innovative feature, the Incanto Rondo has a built-in ceramic disc grinder. |

| We have had this machine for a year now. It makes great Americano, espresso, etc. The adjustments and settings are convenient and easy. No waiting time between shots and steam. The brew group pops out and cleans in a minute and does not need cleaning for another month or more. The only thing that we would like is if the beans would feed better into the grinder. All in all it is automatic bliss. We would buy it again today. |
Great espressos - all the time!

I've had this machine for about 10 months now, and it's simply GREAT. Sure, it's an espresso machine, not a $20 Mr Coffee, so it does require some maintenance, but I was surprised how little of it.
Pros:
-It's remarkably easy to use. Put on the coffee beans, fill the tank, and you're good to go!
-It makes GREAT espressos. I can't find a reason to pay starbucks prices now, when I can make just as good or better at home.
-It let's you customize your drink anyway you want it. You can select how fine or coarse you like the coffee to be ground. You can select how much coffee it will spit out (for great espressos, select between 2.6 and 3.2 oz), you can make anything from an italian "this barista just raped me" espresso (as tall as a pinkie), to a full cup (lie 10oz or so). You can also select how strong you want it in the SBS.
-The water tank is good for about 8-10 espressos. Good enough for a single family home, but not so convenient for an office.
-Maintenance is a BREEZE. There are basically 3 maintenances required:
a) basic basic - after some 10 coffees, a light will come on. You open the door, empty the pot with the used coffee, replace it, and you're good to go.
b) basic v2 - Once a month or so, open the door, take the drip tray, used coffee compartment, and brew pub system, and just wash it all with water. And I mean it just like that: but the whole brew pub under a faucet, shake it here and there, and it's done. All the other parts are machine washable I believe. Put it all back and you're done.
c) Advanced maintenance - Every 3 months or so (depending on your water), you should descale the machine. It's simple enough, just follow the instructions on the booklet, and it should take less then 5 minutes.
Cons:
- It doesn't tell you what's wrong, it just tells your something is wrong. In time, you figure out it can only be water tank needs to be refilled, or you should empty the used coffee cup.
-It's kinda hard to get the coffee beans out. I wanted to use a different blend, and had to put the machine upside down to get everything out. I guess that's not necessarily a problem, but...
-If you want to make 2 coffees at once, the machine will fill out both cups halfway, then make it some more... it's like doing 2 coffees one after the other. Just 1 button pushing less.
-No compartment for pre-ground coffee.
I think this list speaks for itself. The pros are great, and the cons you can live with. Ah, it also swivels! =) |
Wow!

| Amazing! It does it all. Two boilers so you can pull the shots and steam milk, just like a barista. |
Loved it until it broke forever

| Stay away! After using (and loving) this machine for 6 months, the grinder stopped working. After 3 calls with Saeco trying different grinder settings, they finally agreed to repair it. I sent it back, and after 4 weeks it was returned with a note saying that the grinder setting was too low. They were very pleasant on the phone, and agreed to repair it (again). After another 4 weeks, I got the unit back with a similar note about the grinder setting. I was furious and videoed the first cup I made. Yep - it broke. I faxed them and called them, but they refused to take my calls (7 times). I think it was because I hinted they may be incompetent. |
