Features & Benefits: Coffee
Pressurized Portafilter
There are two types of portafilters: pressurized style and commercial style. The Aroma uses the pressurized style, which is easier to use than the commercial as it is more forgiving. The portafilter is made up of three parts, the handle, the filter holder, and the filter basket. Under the filter basket is a small spring-loaded valve that will not open until the pressure in the portafilter has built up. A few seconds after the pump is turned on, the pressure in the portafilter is great enough to push open the valve and release the coffee.
Boiler
The Aroma SS contains a food safe stainless steel boiler and heating element. The durable steel resists corrosion and ensures a longer life span of the machine. It is recommended that you do a simple process called decalcifying every two to three months to lengthen the life span of this and other internal components.
High Quality Controls with Temperature Ready Light
The Saeco Aroma has three easy to use control buttons. The machine is turned on by pressing the on/off button located on the top left of the machine. You’ll recognize it because it looks like an “o” inside a circle. The brew button is located above the on/off switch and will start dispensing the coffee when pushed. When the desired amount of espresso is reached, simply push the button a second time to stop the flow of coffee. The steam knob is located on the top right of the machine. To steam, turn the knob to the right and steam will be released. To stop steaming, return the knob to its original position.
Cup Warmer
Preheating your cups is a very important. The Aroma SS has a stainless steel cup warmer that will hold up to five espresso cups. It is passively heated, which means it is heated from the residual heat of the boiler.

Thermostat and Safety Switches
The Aroma has three temperature controls. There are two thermostats and one high limit. There is one thermostat for maintaining brewing temperature and one for maintaining steaming temperature. The high limit will turn off the power to the boiler in the event of a malfunction. This prevents the boiler from overheating.
Housing Construction
The Aroma SS is constructed of durable stainless steel. The drip tray is stainless while the drip pan is plastic. Not only is the Aroma SS solid and easy to clean, its brushed stainless construction fits in perfectly with today's high-end kitchen appliances.
