Customer Review :
Beans getting hung in grinder problem Fixed! : Saeco 12-Cup Automatic Drip Coffee Maker with Glass Carafe and Burr Grinder, Stainless Steel
First of all, many narrate on Amazon are complaining about the price they paid for the engine which was followed by subsequent price drops. Yes, the machine's former Msrp was too high, but that is how appliances / technology works -- they start high and fall sharply very quickly. My narrate is inspecting the current amazon price of the engine which is 130.xx
The engine is uncomplicated to control and requires very minimal maintenance / cleaning. All of the parts are admittedly washable and performance is as uncomplicated as turning a few knobs and tweaking the settings to your liking. I personally use dark for my coffee setting and about the third to finest setting for how fine the coffee is grind -- this gives me a good cup of coffee.
One thing to note is that even though you can control how many cups you want to brew (2,4,6,8,10,12 are the options) the engine is Only using these settings for how much coffee it grinds. This is admittedly a advantage as long as you use it correctly. For example, if you want a rich cup, set it to brew 6 cups (so it will grind more coffee) but only put 4 cups of water in the reservoir. Alternatively, this gives you the choice to make other sizes as well (a strong 1 cup would be ground to make 2 cups with water for 1 cup, etc.) Just keep in mind that like almost all machines, this will brew until the depot is empty, it will continue to brew. So if you set it to 2 cups (again this is the grind setting for how much coffee is ground into the filter) but put 10 cups of water in, you are going to end up with muddy water and not much else.
Another thing that is nice about this engine is the fact that it comes with everything you need. This includes a Goldtone filter (No More Buying Paper Filters -- Ever!), a cleaning brush, a water filter, etc. admittedly all you need to start production coffee is to buy some whole beans and get going!
With regards to the carafe, no, the create is not the best in the world, but it also is not as bad as many reviews make it out to be. You have to pour it somewhat slow and pay attention, but I have yet to spill from it (maybe they have fixed it since the older reviews? I'm not sure..) but there are no real issues there if you use some coarse care. One tip of advice is to pour a very petite bit out in the sink before you pour each cup. Because of the design, it seems like a petite extra water (on its way to evaporation) tends to secure under the ring so I pour that off first because I like my coffee as dark as possible.
One final word of advice is with regards to the water filters. These are not essential if you have a good water source (the good / purer the water, the good the coffee will taste) Also, you can save some money by using your fridge if it was a filtered water dispenser, if you have a Brita filter, etc. If you do want to use the charcoal filters (I personally use them) they are hard to find the exact model listed but I have personally bought and tested that these are the strict filters for the engine below just under a distinct name:
Capresso 3-Pack Charcoal Water Filters for CoffeeTeam Gs and CoffeeTeam Ts only
Overall, this engine has a lot of bang for its buck and is without fail worth the price.
