Features

The Saeco Aroma in stainless steel is a machine built for simplicity and durability. A pressurized style portafilter makes the Aroma a great starter machine, reducing the amount of control the user needs to have over the grind setting and tamp pressure. In addition, its 5oz boiler ensures lasting steam power that is dispensed through Saeco’s signature Pannarello wand to take the guesswork out of frothing and steaming. Neatly wrapped in a classic stainless steel housing, the Saeco Aroma is both stylish and resilient, providing café quality espresso for years to come.

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.

Features & Benefits: Frothing & Hot Water

Hot Water Dispenser

If you want hot water for any reason, be it for hot chocolate, tea or Americanos, it is very easy to do. Just turn on the pump (brew) switch and open the steam knob. Hot water will start to stream out.

Pannarello Wand

The easiest way to froth (for cappuccino) and steam (for latte) your milk is with this patented frother design.

Features & Benefits: Care, Maintenance & Other

Water Reservoir

The large transparent removable 2.2-quart reservoir can be refilled from the top any time during the operation for an endless supply of coffee or steam. The side casing is transparent so you can see the water level in the tank at all times.

Warranty

All NEW Saeco machines include a one year Saeco Manufacturer's Warranty. Call Saeco at 1-800-933-7876.

REFURBISHED machines carry a 6 month limited parts and labor warranty through Whole Latte Love.

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.

A Review of the Saeco Aroma SS

What I Like About This Machine:

Compact Design – The machine is small in stature but great for making espresso. It is only 12 inches tall and 8 inches wide. It should fit in just about any size kitchen. The Saeco Aroma is almost small enough to travel around with or bring to a small intimate dinner gathering.

Pressurized PortafilterPressurized Portafilter - This is the key to what makes this machine so easy to use. It allows you to use just about any grind and still produce a pretty good espresso. The portafilter allows you to build up the pressure to 9 bars before the coffee is allowed to flow. This means that the portafilter is creating all the pressure for you to extract an espresso. In my opinion, the Aroma has been built to be kind to newbie’s. Almost anyone should be able to brew a satisfying espresso with this machine.

Easy controls – The controls are very simple. You have an easy to find on/off switch. You also have two buttons – one for activating the steam, another button to brew with and a steam knob on top of the machine to start and stop the steaming.

Stainless Steel Boiler – This is one of the few machines in this price range that has a stainless steel boiler. This is important to many people and it also helps keep your boiler form building up mineral deposits. This type of boiler can help improve the longevity of your machine.

What I Would Change:

Portafilters- It would be nice if you could also use a non pressurized portafilter. Many semi-automatic machines offer the ability to use a pressurized or non pressurized. The Aroma only offers the pressurized version.

Pannarello Wand – You may want to get a Gaggia Latte Art Pannarello wand. This will fit on the Saeco and give you much more control over the steaming of your milk. You will be able to create perfect latte milk with some practice. The Panarello wand that comes with it will make great cappuccino foam but may struggle with Latte milk.

Recommended User:  This machine is great for people just getting in to their first espresso machine or for people that have limited counter space. It can work in a small apartment to a vacation home quite well.  I could even see it on a RV or a boat. The nice thing is with a little care and good soft water the Aroma should be a good friend for a long time.

If you would like to know a little about the many types of espresso machines we sell, this would be a good video to get you started. This video covers the machines we sell and based on your lifestyle, what you like to drink, and ease of use. It will give you an overview of different espresso machines and help you determine which one best suits to your needs.

I would watch the video and focus on a particular kind of machine—prosumer, semi-automatic, and super-automatic to decide which kind is ideal for you. Then, you can go and look at individual models to get a better idea of exactly what you want. Of course, if you narrow it down to a few espresso machines and are still undecided, give us a call and we would be glad to help!

I recently purchased a Saeco Aroma SS which replaced the older all-black version I had for a number of years and which worked well until it rusted. My experience with this redesigned machine has been very different. I have wasted more coffee with it than I have been able to drinking owing to what seems to be a woefully underpowered and/or poorly designed pump. After making one cup in the morning, the machine will not reliably produce a second. The pump buzzes, the holder fills with hot water, but I can't even get drips out. Experimenting with various grind sizes seems not help at all. When it works, the machine produces good coffee. I have contacted wholelattelove service with the issue and hopefully they'll have a solution. Perhaps I just have a bad copy, but for now I'd have to advise avoiding this machine.

This machine is about is the perfect home machine for someone who just wants a decent espresso without the hassle and expense of a more expensive machine. I worked for several years as a barista in college at a local espresso bar in Phoenix (Seattle Espresso). We served Illy exclusively and were concerned with quality above all else. I state this not to impress, but to give a little background to indicate I know a bit about making a good espresso. In my opinion, unless you are interested in coffee as a hobby, making real espresso at home is a waste of time and money. There is a reason that espresso in Italy is served almost exclusively in bars: it's too expensive and too big a hassle to do right at home. Most machines under $1000 dollars cannot generate sufficient heat and pressure to brew a quality espresso. And don't even get me started on the steaming quality of these machines. Having said all that, the Saeco Aroma takes much of the guesswork out of brewing espresso. The pressurized portafilter generates decent crema and eliminates the need to constantly tweak the grind of the coffee to get a good pour. The steaming wand is close to worthless. If you drink cappuccino, you are much better off using this machine to brew only espresso and then investing in a $20 Aerolatte frother to froth your milk. Simply heat the milk in the microwave for 30 seconds or so and use the Aerolatte to generate frothed milk for a cappuccino. Your results will be much better and your cleanup far easier. To sum it up, this is the best price-performance machine out there for the person who wants a decent espresso at home without the hassle and expense involved in making cafe-quality espresso.

Holy Crema!

Wow. This machine makes shots better than any Starbucks I have ever visited. I chose this machine over the Gaggia Classic not only because of the lower price, but also because of the good reviews. I got a refurbished model for a price that I couldn't pass up. In this price range, I would say this model is the best bang for your buck. The pressurized portafilter that is included with the machine makes surprisingly good crema. I couldn't help but upgrade a little: I purchased a stainless steel frothing wand, and an unpressurized portafilter. Now I like to pretend I am a bona fide barista :) Maybe someday I will rob a bank an buy a Silvia. But until then, I will enjoy this machine more than fly's enjoy poop.

Great machine for an introduction to making espresso at home

I'm one of those crazy Americans who used to think that Tasters Choice was a pretty good cup of coffee. I've had perculators, Mr Coffee, you name it. Then I spent a week in Sicily and got introduced to Cappuccino, espresso, etc. Unfortunatly, I reverted back to drip coffee for several years. I tried the stuff they call Cappuccino in one or two shopping mall coffee stands, but it just wasn't the same. Fast forward to a little over a year ago. After trying another cappuccino disaster at a local well known coffee chain, I decided if I was to get anything that resembled a real cappuccino, I'd have to buy my own machine and learn how to make them myself. After doing a little research online and reading a few reviews, I settled on the Saeco Aroma. I didn't really know the difference between a normal portafilter and a pressurized one at the time, but it wasn't a steam toy. The Saeco Aroma is a great machine for the first time espresso machine owner, or anyone who doesn't want to spend the rest of their life learning the trade of a barista. This little machine makes darn good espresso with just a little practice. And the Pannarello milk frothing attachment is great for making cappuccinos, once you learn the trick (see below).

How Long Have I Been Using This Product?

More than 1 year

What's Best About this Product?

The machine heats up in about 10 minutes. Run a little hot water through the portafilter, dry it out, and you're ready to go. The pannarello frothing tip is pretty easy to learn to use with a little practice. It's stainless steel and well constructed.

Some Helpful Tips For Using this Product:

If you find you're getting a lot of solids in your espresso, try a corser grind. When frothing milk for cappuccino, use the pannarello tip. Put about 3 or 4 ounces of milk in a 12oz frothing pitcher (about a quarter to one third pitcher). Use an empty coffee cup to bleed off any water in the steam wand prior to frothing the milk. You want to have just steam coming out the wand. Submerg the tip in the milk making sure that the holes on the side stay below the surface of the milk, and open the steam knob slowly until the wand starts making little bubbles. As the milk starts to warm up, it will stop making bubbles, and the bubbles will start to disappear. Once all the bubbles disappear, open the steam knob up and keep the tip in the center of the pitcher below the surface of the milk. The froth with start to rise in the pitcher. Just make sure it does not block the little pin hole near the top of the pannarello device. Raise the wand a little if you have to. Close the steam wand knob and swirl the milk/froth mixture around a little and pour. You should have a very tasty cappuccino. Enjoy!

My Experience With Using This Product:

Coffee Lover

The Coffee I've Tried With This Product:

Green Mountain Dark Magic Espresso, Malabar Gold, misc other

Some Improvements I Would Recommend for This Product:

As with other reviews for the Saeco Classico (similar) the Aroma steam wand tends to leak a little even with the knob turned all the way off. It's not a big deal. Just position the wand tip over the drip tray.

Saeco Aroma SS
Saeco Aroma SS

I think I have narrowed down my choice to either the Saeco Aroma or the Gaggia New Baby. Would you please compare and contrast the advantages/disadvantages of these units; e.g., advantage/disadvantage of stainless steel vs. aluminum boiler, large thermoblock vs. small volume boiler, stainless steel vs. chrome plated brass portafilter, pressurized vs. commercial style portafilter, 9 oz boiler volume vs. 3.5 (is this enough for 2 shots?), ,931 vs, 1370 watt boiler (will this equate to a big difference in performance?). Also, are the listed performance specs for these machines correct; e.g., the Gaggia has a much more powerful boiler; yet, your listed specs show that the Saeco has MUCH lower initial heat up, recommended heat up, time to produce steam and time to froth 8 oz's of milk (9.8 secs vs 125 secs). Is this a typo? Did you really mean 98 seconds for the Saeco or 12.5 seconds for the Gaggia? It doesn't seem as if the difference should be that great? Finally, do you recommend any other comparable machines in this price range.

mjackson ♦ Richard great questions. I think I can simplify this answer for you We do have a few typos and sorry, I like both the machines. I do know for pure espresso and a more stable platform for espresso I like the Gaggia as it gives you the advantage of a better group head and portafilter. It also lets you use bath a pressurized system and if you have a correct grind it will let you use the traditional commercial basket. Yes the higher watt boiler will make a difference. I view the Gaggia as a step above the entry level Saeco. I think the advantage of the Saeco lies in the ease of use. It is also more compact. I woudl let them both warm up about 4-5 minutes. I think you will be happier with the Gaggia especially if you think you may want to take a more Barista like approach to making great espresso. I hope this helps.

I've had my Saeco Aroma SS for about a year and a half and haven't had any issues up to this point. After a few months being unused (for which it had been both cleaned, emptied, and unplugged), I plugged it in and steamed my milk just fine, but when I tried to pull a shot the pump made a much louder chattering sort of sound and moved no water through the unit. Faulty pump? What could it be and how might it have happened? Thanks!

mjackson ♦ Alexandria,
It could be your pump needs to be primed. You may want to try these steps.
1. Make sure the espresso machine is cold and off when beginning to manually prime.
2. First, turn off and unplug the espresso machine from the power outlet.
3. You need find something that can inject water with some force. A turkey baster works well. You can also use a large syringe. Fill your device (turkey baster, syringe etc) with water.
4. Look into the reservoir and find the inlet tube. (you may need to remove the reservoir from the machine at this stage depending in the model) If there are two tubes, the longer one is usually the water intake. Some models have a water softener device on the end of the inlet tube which may need to be removed.
5. Open your steam knob all the way.
6. Now insert the turkey baster into the inlet tube and force water into the espresso machine.
a. ** The key is to make a tight seal and force the water into the machine. Using a damp cloth or paper towel wrapped around the junction of the baster and inlet tube can help **
7. Repeat 6 a few times (3-4) until you feel that water is easily entering the inlet tube.
8. Close your steam knob.
9. Fill your water tank and reinsert it into the espresso machine.
10. You should now be able to prime your espresso machine normally. Make sure to run water from both the group head and steam wand.
11. If this does not work, please call for Tech Support.

I read elsewhere that your 2 year warranty is something to get details on before ordering. I am looking at one of the gaggia machines (baby classic). You advertiese extended warranty of 1 year. Does that mean total of 2 years? I have heard if not purchased in EU then the manuf warranty is not valid. So it is 2 years from Wholelattelove or some other place? If indeed 2 years does that include parts and labor? Who is Importica?

I have had a Saeco Aroma for about 2 years. It was the first espresso machine I have ever had. I use it everday. However, now it will only work in certain outlets. Which is odd because other things will work in them. So I believe it is the machine itself. Also, it will brew but when you want to steam it will not stay heated up.
I believe at this point there could be a boiler issue or possibly a short? I feel the cost to fix isn't justified againt just replacing the unit. I live too far away from any service centers.
Thoughts?
Also - how could this have happened? Is this a user error? Am I doing something wrong? If you are supposed to prime each time before steaming - can someone run through the steps? I don't want to buy a new machine and break that one too.
Any suggestions on a new home machine?

mjackson ♦ Aimee,

It is tough to say what is causing problem. If it will not work in a plug with a GFI then it must be a short or a moisture leek. It could be your steam thermostat is going bad as well. The only preventative stuff I could recommend doing is to make sure you use soft water , descale often and do not leave machine on all the time. You don't need to prime all the time. You may want to check out our wow of the week as that is a good deal and will serve you well and you can take the next step and get a grinder, See it here

How "loud" is the pump. I realize that's like asking "how high is up", but we had a Braun Tassimo machine and we don't use it any more because it was offensivly loud. We now use a Keurig. If you could quantify the lounness between those two I will be able to relate to your answer. This looks like the best machine at a very reasonable price and hope to order one within a few months.

Good question. I would say the Saeco Aroma is quiet when compared to the Tassimo. I would say it is perhaps a little nosier then the Keurig. I do think you will be satisfied with the Aroma, not only in its performance, but also in its relatively quiet operation.

My Saeco Aroma came with a second black tray (similar to the drip tray) with a piece of wood dividing the tray. What is this tray? Thank you!

Zack Smith Jennifer, The second box that you are seeing is a knock box. The wood goes across the box so that it sits in place. You can then dump your used coffee grounds into the box without having to walk to the garbage can every time.
