The design of the Phillips Saeco Exprelia is modeled on extensive interviews with Italian baristas who shared the essential secrets to perfect espresso: At least 7 grams of high quality coffee beans. Accurate grinding; not too coarse, to permit best moistening, nut not too fine, and with a grinder that doesn’t overheat the grind. Consistent pressing of the ground coffee, to enable careful extraction at 15 bars pressure of all the aromas with the perfect brewing flow. And at the finish, a smooth hazelnut-brown créma, to protect the aromas and let them burst forth at first sip.
Did the Exprelia design team meet the expectations of the barista interviews? Yes! And then they wrapped that capability in an elegant stainless steel skin, added double boilers, state-of-the-art automatic controls, and produced the fully automatic Exprelia. Fantastic!
The Exprelia fulfills the desires of Italian coffee lovers. The integrated automatic milk function creates the perfect milk foam for a Cappuccino and thanks to the patented Saeco Brewing System (SBS), coffee lovers can change the flavor and intensity of every cup according to their personal preferences – from mild to strong. With the large LCD screen and seven control buttons that line the sides of the display, the Exprelia has a clear interactive presence for ease of use and rapid customization.
The Saeco brewing system is a unique feature that allows you to adjust the flow speed of the coffee delivery thereby influencing the richness and body structure of the créma.
The ceramic grinder guarantees consistently accurate grinding for every kind of coffee bean. It never overheats the coffee and offers supreme longevity. It creates a grind to make that Italian taste experience possible just as a professional barista would provide.
A good barista gets the most out of every single bean. So does the Saeco Exprelia – thanks to the Saeco adapting system. It automatically optimizes the grinding process to continuously guarantee the perfect unfolding of the aroma, regardless of the type of coffee bean used.
Create a specialty drink that is as unique as you are. You can always easily select the coffee strength, temperature, and length you prefer – so you can enjoy your favorite espresso at the touch of a button.
The Saeco aroma system pre-wets your coffee grinds to ensure the best possible coffee extraction. This feature, also known as pre-infusion, can be turned off or on, or lengthened to suit your taste.
The Exprelia has 2 stainless steel boilers that ensure there is always water at the right temperature for brewing, steaming, or dispensing hot water.
Simply select the level of froth you would like from the menu. From basic hot milk to creamy, silky froth.
The external milk container connects to Exprelia and automatically froths milk into your cup. The top portion of the handle swivels to the left to dispense steamed milk directly into your cup during the brew cycle. All you have to do is fill the carafe with milk and select your favorite milk specialty. Your cappuccino, latte macchiato, or caffé latte are delicious every time.
Pure milk is essential for the preparation of café-fresh froth enjoyment. That’s why automatic steam cycles clean the milk circuit after every frothing session.
Enjoy direct and clear interaction with the Exprelia thanks to the self-explanatory lighted icons display. For intuitive understanding the icons are color-coded according to the traffic light principle.
Knowing that every espresso aficionado has their own personal taste, the Exprelia design team created customizable beverage selection controls so you can select a cappuccino or an espresso with your personalized settings at the touch of a button.
The removable brewing group – a Saeco invention – is the real heart of every fully automatic coffee machine and needs to work optimally every time. Keeping it clean is essential to great brewing. To clean the Exprelia brewgroup and keep it in tip top condition: remove it, rinse, and re-insert – simple!
Thanks to the Saeco Exprelia automatic cleaning and descaling cycles, you are guaranteed that your machine will produce your favorite beverages day after day. Automatic cleaning and descaling further increases the life expectancy of your machine and lowers your overall cost of ownership.
The stainless steel housing is sleek, elegant, and extremely durable. Stainless steel boilers will give you years of trouble free service.
The 1.5 liter removable water tank includes an integrated water filter to insure clean pure water for brewing. It is easy to remove and replace the filter as necessary.

Rated 5 out of 5
Awesome machine, one-touch simplicity. Great espresso and Cappuccino's, but I must admit, it seems I have to empty it or refill every couple of drinks, either it be the coffee grounds tray or the water. The milk and hot water from the wand isn't as hot as I would prefer, but there is a different tube it came with that you can get the milk hotter at least to preference. All in all an awesome machine, enjoying it immensely.

Bought this for my wife due to her latte habit. We love how easy it is to use and the quality drinks that it makes. My favorite part, not spending $10 dollars a day for coffee drinks.
Rated 5 out of 5
This ia an awsome machine! The design and contruction is one of the best. The milk craft is so easy to use. That was one of my big concerns. Most machines you have hold the milk craft and then clean it every time. This one just snaps into place and return it to the freg. The coffee always comes out great and is HOT!! And the price is GREAT!
Hi I wanted to know if anyone else has had trouble with the milk carafe and the small tube? Have inserted this in the carafe but the milk spits out everywhere when you dispense. Want to use as the milk comes out hotter. Any ideas?

A A Cherine,
The Exprelia does not have an on/off time, just a stand by timer. The machine only takes about 2 mins to warm up and do it's rinse cycle, so it's not a huge time investment first thing in the morning! The stand by timer will put the machine in standby after a certain amount of time has passed without it being used.
Any differences between the Saeco Exprelia and the Delonghi Perfecta or Magnifica? Also, which one would you recommend and why?

A A Eric,
While all three machines have much of the same functions and abilities, they still have a handful of differences. Mostly things like capacities, dimensions, and the like. The link below compares all three machines side by side.

Just traded up from our royal professional to the Exprelia
Wow! The one touch option for specialty drinks is truly amazing. Only draw back is that the water resevoir is only 52oz.
Still, the features and great crema are worth the minor hassle
Our last machine made over 15000 cups in the past 9 years. Let's hope our new machine goes that distance!

Michael Rosso ♦ David...Thank you for your recent purchase of the Saeco Exprelia. WOW does sum up the machine. Enjoy and keep us posted. Thanks.
I just read your comparison. I'd like to confirm because I was ready to get the exprelia and then read below that it does not make Lattes. Is that correct?

Michael Rosso ♦ Pamela..Thank you for your interest in the Saeco Exprelia. Yo uare corrrect the Exprelia does not make Lattes using the One Touch features, however you can still froth milk and make Lattes manually. I myself have been using the froth milk button, then brew a shot of espresso into the frothed milk, and that is close enough for me when you consider how easy it is to do that..Thanks.
Can you steam milk separately to increase temp if necessary? What are people saying about this machine?

mjackson ♦ Pamela,
It is true you can steam the milk separately. Many people like the way it steams as well as the control. Feed back has been very good on this machine as at this price we have sold quite a few. It does brew a very nice shot due to the ceramic burrs.
mjackson ♦ Jaclyn...Thanks you for your interest in the Saeco Exprelia and the Saeco Xelsis. Here is a comparison of these two machine: Both of these machines use the same Espresso Technology: The Saeco adapting system, Aroma-system: pre-brewing, SBS crème adaptor. The Exprelia will brew: Espresso (single, double)Caffe Lungo, Speciality Coffee, Cappuccino. The Xelsis will brew:Espresso (single, double)Caffe Lungo, Speciality Coffee, Cappuccino, Latte Macchiato, Coffee Latte. They both have stainless steel boilers, use the same 15 bar pump, both milk carafes hold 17.25 ounces, both water reservoirs hold 54 ounces of water and both machines require 60 HZ/ 120 volts for power. The Exprelia Bean hopper holds 10.5 ounces and the Xelsis holds 12.5 ounces. The Exprelia Dump Box Capacity holds 11 pucks and the Xelsis holds 14 pucks. The Exprelia weighs 31 pounds and the Xelsis weighs 35 pounds. The Exprelia measures W 9.6”x D 14.2” x H 16.5” and the Xelsis measures W 11.25”x D 14.5” x H 16.5”. I hope this information helps, however if you have anymore questions please feel free to contact us directly at 1-888-411-5282 option 1. Thanks.
We've been using a La Pavoni Pro machine for 15 years but we are thinking about trying a new machine. Our goal is to get better espresso (crema) and have the auto froth attachment like the La Pavoni has. Does the Saeco Exprelia produce much better, and consistent crema? or no.
thanks

mjackson ♦ Stephen,
It is a good question. The Saeco machine will give you good Crema. You should be able to get a better product with a manual machine and a good grinder. The Saeco does have ceramic burrs and makes a surprisingly good espresso. It is really purchased for convenience. If you want to push a button and get a pretty good espresso it works very well. The milk steamer will be easy to use but you don't have a lot of control if you want to make the milk hotter. It really is made to make your espresso making much easier and it is consistent. I hope this helps and thanks for the question.
What water filter comes with the Saeco Exprelia Super Automatic machine? Is this the only filter I can use in the water tank?

mjackson ♦ You will want to get the Mavea Filter. It does not come with the filter. I would definitely suggest you get one. Here is a link. You will extend the life of your machine as well as cut back on descaling. http://www.wholelattelove.com/Gaggia/mavea_intenza.cfm
It is a nice machine and let us know if you have any more questions.
I just ordered my Exprelia and should have it later this week - can't wait. I have been using a Vienna Plus for over 10 years so this is a big jump. I was trying to decide between the Accademia or Xelsis, but after speaking to Shane, he turned me on to the Exprelia - same capabilties as the other models with the exception of the user profiles and cup warmer. This is a personal machine so I do not need these added features. The Exprelia has a smaller footprint and a reduced price point!!!
