How,does,this machine compares to the Saceo Odea Giro Plus? I understand the price tag is different but I'd like to know as far as the Espresso shot itself is there any noticeable difference?

Sanfam ♦ While it is technically possible to brew a large shot in this machine, it is not designed with that purpose in mind. The machine grinds enough coffee to brew a balanced 1.0-1.5oz shot. Larger drinks can be brewed but will start to lose their strength and gain a bitter aftertaste. An option we suggest is to have the machine to brew two 4 or 5oz shots in sequence, the total volume being 8-10oz and the flavor being much better.
A few questions regarding this machine:
1) How does the wand perform? Is there any chance for latte art? Also, can you "upgrade" with other wands? I saw that the Gaggia Latte art wand works on the Vienna Plus, for example.
2) Putting price aside, would you go with the Vienna Plus or Odea Giro? My gut tells me the Vienna is built to last longer, but I like how the Odea Giro looks much more.

mjackson ♦ Yoseph,
Yes you can use the Latte Art wand and you can then get better milk as it lets you steam and all you results are based on technique. The Giro will make a better shot because of ceramic burrs and also the aroma control that will help get a better result then the Vienna. The Vienna is hard to beat at the price but is a older technology. If you like straight espresso get the Odea.
Does this model still have the connector in the back to plumb directly to a water source?

SonnyCorinthos ♦ No, unfortunately this unit is not able to be plumbed to your incoming water line.
Makes an excellent first time espresso maker. I bought this to replace a Krups espresso maker that I burned out. There's no fuss, no muss, just good espresso.

SonnyCorinthos ♦ No fuss, no muss indeed! Typical of Saeco machines. I'm not a translator but I think "Saeco" is Italian for "quality" ;) Great Machine!
It is possible to send Seaco spidem cappucino to Cech republic in Europe? Thank you

techkathy Unfortunately we can not ship to Europe. We also only carry 110/120V machines which will not work overseas.
The red light won't stop flashing when I turn machine on. I have checked all of the parts and they seem to be properly placed.

mjackson ♦ Elizabeth I am not sure what is going on I do know you need to get some help as you have a problem. Give Saeco technical support a call at 1-800-933-7876 and they will be able to help get you going again.
My coffee brewer works well, but when I try to steam the milk I heard the faint sound of what sounds like a pump then the sound stops and the red light comes on.

mjackson ♦ Elizabeth,
I am not sure what you mean by this question. I am hoping the steam is working. If that is the case it is the sound of the boiler going from brewing to steam temperature. It should be working fine. If it is not working please give our technical support line a call. I hoe this helps.
Michael Rosso ♦ Leslie...You are correct, the Aqua Prima Water Filters do fit the Gaggia Platinum Vision. If you have anymore questions please feel free to contact us directly at 1-888-411-5282 option 1. Thanks.
Leslie Schiff I looked and the one that came with the machine looks smaller, like half the size, and there is nothing like it on your site, but if this will work for sure, I will buy it
Michael Rosso ♦ Tina...Thank you for your interest in the Saeco Nina Bar. It brews espresso at 8 to 9 bars of pressure. Thanks.

Sanfam ♦ While the Royal Professional is an older machine, it sits far above the Odea line in terms of what features it offers. Physically, it is a much larger machine with a larger reservoir. While the brewed shots should be similar with the standard settings, you can adjust more aspects of the brewing process (temperature and pre-brewing, for example) with the Royal Professional than you can with the Odea Giro.
