Description
From beginning to end, the Saeco Incanto Deluxe has every detail right to give you the best possible shot of espresso. Your beans are stored in a dark tinted hopper; this protects them from the damaging effects of light, moisture, and air. When you press the brew button the correct amount of beans are ground using a built-in ceramic disc grinder, which can be adjusted to vary the fineness of the grind for different coffee strengths. The grounds are then pre-infused, which brings out the depths o

Sanfam ♦ Jeff, here's a few basic troubleshooting options to look into to figure out where the problem is:
Set the machine to pre-ground mode, not putting any pre-ground coffee in, and tell it to brew a single shot. Does water come out? If not, pull the brew unit out, rinse it thoroughly, and try this again. If nothing comes out, your machine might be faulty. if the machine is working correctly, brown-tinted water should come out of the spouts. A shot of mostly-water would isolate the grinder as the trouble-spot.
If water came through, try setting the grind to a coarser setting (12-14, higher is coarser), making sure to adjust it only while the machine is trying to grind. You may need to repeat the brew process one to two times to flush out any old grounds—If you weren't able to get good flow after adjusting the grinder, I would suggest removing the brew unit and lightly rinsing it (focusing on the metal filter screen) one more time and attempting one final brew cycle using the coarser setting you set it at.
If this doesn't work, or if you have any further questions, let us know!

We have an Incanto Delux and love it, but I'm extremely frustrated as of late. My coffee grinds and then the machine sounds like its gearing up for prebrewing and then nothing, grounds go into the dredges drawer and it looks like grounds exploded inside as they are everywhere, after several tries it will work sometimes, others with no luck and I end up at the coffee shop. Going without my coffee is a no go with 3 kids including an infant :/ Sometimes if after several tries of it not working, I remove brew unit and rinse, it will then work. I've taken it apart and cleaned it, lubricated it, descaled it, etc and nothing. I'll be at the point of taking it for a service call when it will up and work well for several weeks. I just want to know I can get coffee when I want it! Then this morning it was acting up, it finally after 3 tries said descale, I removed brew unit to try and rinse it off to get out one precious drink and now brew unit won't go back into place. Any help with what to try is greatly appreciated.

CustomerMan ♦ Hi Jessica, I'm sorry you're having trouble with your machine. I think I have some solutions for you. First, watch and follow this video on removing and reinstalling a stubborn brew unit http://www.wholelattelove.com/videos.cfm?playvidID=415 .
Second, after you are able to get your brew unit installed, adjust your grind setting to something slightly more coarse and your dosage to a slightly lesser setting (dosage is the amount of espresso used per shot). Your brew unit is most likely "ditching" the grounds that you intend to use because its having trouble compacting and forcing water through them. If this doesn't resolve the issue please let us know.

What are the differences on the prebrewing settings ON vs LONG? And should i the first portion of the brewing cycle when using prebrewing be discarted?

mjackson ♦ Jose,
You may want to go ahead and set it to long as it may give you a better tasting coffee. I also would not discard the first shot as it is not necessary. I hope this helps.

When I turn on the steam knob, it steams weakly about 30 seconds, then peters out, sometimes sputters back with another 30 seconds of weak steam, but ultimately stops and says CLOSE KNOB, then VENTILATE.

mjackson ♦ Doug,
You need to run hot water out of your steam wand until the ventilate sign goes away. It may or may not take a while. It could be a number of things but most likely a flow meter is restricted somehow. If you can clear it by running hot water that should get rid of the message. It may take a lot of water to be able to do this. If it does not work you may want to call the technical support at Saeco USA.

mjackson ♦ Mary,
It is tough to say exactly what the problem is. I would call where you had it worked on and see what they had to say. I am not sure what they did or what they did not do. I am sure they can help. It may be something simple or it may have been something missed in the repair.

On start up, I am getting the display blinking "self-test", and the usual pre-rinse does not happen anymore. Once it has stopped this clicking (like it was trying to do something), it says ready for use. Press the button, and then it grinds, then goes back to the "self-test" display again. The dredge drawer has the grinds, but no coffee comes out. After 2-3 of these, it will then (finally) make a cup of coffee. I have taken it apart, cleaned the whole machine out, cleaned the ceramic grinder, de-scaled, etc...nothing has helped.
Suggestions?

mjackson ♦ Keith,
I am sorry for your troubles. I am going to email you two documents that may help. It could be a check ball in your brew group is stuck. It also may be a problem with the screen in your brew group. They do have pictures that should help. If these don't work go ahead and call our technical department or Saecos help line. I hope this helps and look for my email.

We purchased a Saeco Incanto just over 2 years ago, and have had nothing but trouble. We have returned it 3 times and it just failed again this morning. No water will come through the steamer. Just cleaned it last night. Only use bottled water. Did we get lemon? What can we do?

I have unit 3 months now, I clean every 2 weeks and descale when light flashes. The last week it has slowed down in brewing the cup of espresso and now it has stopped all together. I decided to turn it off, clean it and then turn on and descale it. After turning back on it wont load the circuit and keeps flashing that request. Now it is stuck in the "load circuit mode". HELP

Michael Rosso ♦ Meredith...Sorry to hear about the trouble with your machine. It sounds like you may have developed an air void in your boiler. To correct this problem first make sure you have clean water in your tank. Then simply open your steam wand and allow only water(not steam) to run through it. This should remove the air void. However if this doesn't fix your problem, and because you have had the machine for only 3 months you will need to contact Saeco directly at 1-800-933-7876. Any further questions feel free to contact me at support@wholelattelove.com. Best of luck.

BaristaCorner Hi Bonnie...Ceramic burrs have 2 great advantages over stainless steel burrs. First of all, ceramic does not heat up from the friction of grinding coffee beans as much as stainless steel, so the flavor characteristics that were intended for that coffee when it was roasted are not altered and you have a high quality of brew. Second, ceramic burrs last almost twice as long as stainless steel burrs do. I hope that this helps. If you have any further questions, please feel free to call me at 888-411-5282, extension 5140. Thank you...Eric Black

techkathy Try resetting the machine to the factory settings. Make sure that there is nothing under the water tank preventing it from seating all the way down. You can also try manually priming the machine. Click on the link below to see a short video on priming.
