This Package Includes:
A powerful super automatic espresso machine in a compact frame, the Saeco Syntia Focus has been created to maximize user convenience. With high-end features like Rapid Steam, Optidose and Aroma Systems, as well as one-touch functionalities, the Syntia Focus is well equipped to deliver café quality beverages quickly and easily. This Saeco model is anchored by a ceramic disc grinder and airtight, anti-UV bean hopper. But, if you prefer, an integrated bypass doser will let you brew using pre-ground coffee. Once you’ve extracted the perfect shot, the Syntia Focus has a Pannarello steam wand attachment to allow you to top it off with rich, creamy milk for lattes or cappuccinos.
This super-automatic machine has a modern exterior, with a jet black body and LED digital display; it is sure to be a standout in any kitchen. It’s also a cinch to keep your machine in ideal operating condition, as the Syntia Focus comes with a removable brew group, accessible from the front; just rinse it running water to remove coffee deposits. The Saeco Syntia Focus is a smart espresso machine for home use.
The integrated ceramic disc grinder has 5 settings that will allow you to fine tune your grind. Saeco’s Optidose feature is also available to let you adjust the grind volume for each shot, choose from 6.5 to 10.5 grams of coffee to customize your beverage strength. An automatic shut-off feature has been built into the grinder to ensure safe operation.
For your benefit, the Syntia Focus has an 8oz hopper with an airtight lid and anti-UV coating to preserve your beans. Additionally, this model has a bypass doser for pre-ground coffee, which will come in handy if you’re an occasional decaf drinker. Simply use the bypass doser for decaf coffee and the grinder for regular beans (or vice versa) to keep your coffee varieties separate and ensure pure beverages.
The Syntia Focus lets you program the amount of coffee grounds delivered for custom drinks. Use the "Aroma" control to fine tune the amount of coffee delivered to the brew group. The automatic pre-infusion cycle is designed to saturate coffee grounds before the brewing process begins to extract the flavor and aroma of your coffee and the Saeco system will constantly "learn" what is the best cycle automatically.
With the Syntia Focus, single and double-shot espressos are just a push one touch away. Both drink buttons can be programmed to brew the desired coffee volume; the machine will remember your preferences for future use.
This Saeco model has a removable brew group, which is conveniently accessible from the front for routine maintenance. The Easy Clean System lets you detach the group and run it under water for chemical-free cleaning.
A control knob, located on the front panel of machine lets you alternate between steaming and frothing and dispensing hot water. The Syntia Focus is outfitted with a Pannarello steam wand to allow you to create steamed or frothed milk as well as rich micro-foam for specialty beverages. Since this machine features Rapid Steam Technology, you’ll be able to make the switch between brewing and steaming without any down time.
The large 40oz water reservoir has an integrated Intenza water filter to remove various impurities and minerals from your tap water. This will help your beverages taste nice and fresh while simultaneously protecting the machine from scale buildup. The water tank is removable for quick and easy refilling and maintenance.
The Saeco Syntia Focus has a height adjustable coffee dispenser to allow you to fit a wide variety of cup sizes under the spouts. Brew into a small espresso cup or larger coffee mug, the choice is yours.
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.

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!

A A Darren,
Because the right side of the drip tray goes directly under the brew group, having some water in the drip tray is completely normal.
In the demo the frothing wand is stainless steel, but the image that is shown when i want to purchase, is black (plastic?). Why is it so? Can i buy the one with stainless steel wand that is in the demo?

Sanfam ♦ While the photos on the site seem to depict the Syntia Focus as coming equipped with the plastic Pannarello wand common to the Odea Eclipse & Go, the machine we received from Saeco was equipped with a metal Pannarello Wand also found on higher end Odea models and the Talea Line. The published specs for this model state that it includes a metal frothing wand--I would trust this information over the photo on our site and will see to getting this corrected!
Hello,
Can you tell me the difference, beside the color, between saeco syntia focus and saeco syntia ss is?

mjackson ♦ Barbara,
The main difference in the machine is not really the color but the material. The housing on The SS is actually Stainless Steel, The focus is plastic. That really is the difference. They will both work the same just the SS is going to be heavier and prettier if you like stainless steel.
Hello,
I have a saeco synthia SS model and am looking for the brew group to purchase please let me know if you could order this part Saeco customer service is pending my request as well. thanks.
