Saeco Syntia SS
I searched for a machine that made foam, my number one concern. Returned an automatic machine and now I am very happy with this one. I got over, and appreciated, the hygiene of a small water and waste capacity. Love it.

The Saeco Syntia SS super-automatic espresso machine is a one-stop solution for espresso, cappuccino and latte lovers. This compact machine has a durable stainless steel body and attractive tri-colored LCD display. Measuring only 10”W x 16.5”D x 12.5”H, the Syntia SS is one of the smallest super-automatic espresso machines in its class, but beneath its diminutive frame is a network of advanced technological features that make for an impressive brewing experience.

I am looking for hot coffee and expresso, but their seems to be little data on the temperature of the liquid coming from these machines. My neighbor bought this machine, and I taste tested the the long coffee at the high temperature setting (there are three). The maximum temperature of the coffee was 160 degrees F. I like my coffee over 170 closer to 180. Is there any machine that produces hotter coffee? Where can see the specs on this? (PS: I know I can inject steam in to the coffee after brew, but, this seems to reduce the advantage of the "superautomatic" does it not?)

If you ask me - without having seen this machine in person - this one looks a whole lot like the Gaggia Brera in a different housing - same ceramic grinder, same arrangement of buttons and controls, maybe a little bit more hip.
I love my Brera - what a great price for a great espresso machine ...

mjackson ♦ Georg,
Glad you agree and the Gaggia Brera is a great machine.
mjackson ♦ Kevin,
It is truly just called the Syntia SS. They only make this one version. According to Saecos website this is the model number. HD8838/47. I hope this helps and it is a good looking well performing machine.
Hi, how does the Syntia compare with the Gaggia Brera? Are there similar machines I should be considering? Thanks, -Ann

mjackson ♦ Deborah,
Get the Brera. I dont think we have a better value for the money.
A A Pete: I completely understand that desire for hot coffee - I am the same way you are. The Gaggia Titanium in our testing brewed between 175°-185°F, and has three programmable buttons that you can set up any way you wish.
