Pros and cons

According to our Fully automatic espresso machine expert

• You can select the type and roast of the coffee beans, so the machine adjusts the grinding setting.
• In addition to making 2 espressos, you can also make 2 milk specialties with one push of a button.
• You can make a cappuccino or latte macchiato, but also a flat white and an Italian cappuccino.
• A coffee machine with a plastic casing isn't as durable as one with a stainless steel casing.

20 coffee specialties that you adjust exactly to taste

• Choice of 20 coffee specialties
• Flavor can be set accurately via sliders
• Very user-friendly display
• Takes up quite a lot of space on your kitchen worktop

The Saeco Xelsis Deluxe is a beautiful and user-friendly coffee machine. I choose from 20 coffee specialties that I can adjust exactly to my taste. The coffee machine is a bit large in size.

Compose your own coffee recipes
What surprised me the most about this coffee machine is the extent to which you adjust your coffee to your taste. I was able to very accurately change the settings via slider bars. This was possible for the strength of the coffee, the amount of coffee, the amount of milk, the intensity of the taste and the temperature. So really extensive. I also found it useful that I could immediately save these recipes under my own profile. Then you don't have to put together your favorite flavor every time. It is also possible to create profiles for others. I also set the type of coffee beans I use; 100% Arabica or a blend. But also whether the beans are light, medium or dark roasted. The appliance adjusts the preparation accordingly.

User comfort
The touchscreen color display works very nicely. I easily swipe to the coffee specialty of my choice, which are shown as images. The coffee machine guides you during use. This way you can see exactly what the device is doing every time: heating up, pre-moistening coffee, etc. But I also received a message, for example, when I had to refill the water reservoir. The lid of the bean container closes extra well because of the silicone edge. As a result, as little air as possible gets to the beans and they stay fresh longer.

20 coffee specialties
With this coffee machine you can make up to 20 different types of coffee, with and without milk. That is why there is something delicious for everyone. For example, think of a cappuccino, flat white, cortado, espresso and a lungo. But you also make a cup of warm milk or hot water for tea. With the 'to go cup' option I put just enough coffee in my thermos cup. Handy for on the go.
Bean adapt technology

Sound during brewing
The coffee machine makes quite a lot of noise during the brewing process. If you have visitors over the floor, it is difficult to understand each other while making coffee. I don't find this very disturbing myself, because I'm used to it from my own coffee machine and because the brewing process is fast.

Difference with the Saeco Xelsis Suprema
I also tested the Saeco Xelsis Suprema and it looks a lot like this model. The Suprema is just a bit more user-friendly, sturdier and more luxurious due to the almost twice as large display and the stainless steel plating on the sides.

Do you have that now too? That curious and exciting feeling when you receive a new appliance? What would it look like, how does it work, what does it feel like, what can it do?
Well, that certainly didn't disappoint when we got the Saeco Gran Xelsis Deluxe delivered at home. Ordered on Sunday, delivered on Monday. So we didn't have to wait too long (thankfully). Of course we would have gotten an idea of the device online, but when you have it in your hands you really see what it is. The addition 'Deluxe' is certainly not an exaggeration. What a beautiful device it is. Both in terms of styling and material use.
The first thing to do is connect the device to your Wi-Fi network. That way you always have the most recent software that controls the control of the device. And how handy that you can use the device itself to find out at which online shops you can buy a new water filter or cleaning products. Do you remember when you had to grind your coffee yourself and pour it into a filter bag? Prehistoric, right? Now you are presented with a coffee experience. You can really set all important features to your own needs: temperature, amount of coffee, amount of milk or milk foam, do you want the coffee first or the milk first and so on. And that for all the different coffee products that are pre-programmed in the machine.
That's still not all. The device also serves you all kinds of specialties. Just as a recipe on your screen. I can well imagine that those recipes will simply be expanded over time via your WiFi connection.
And then finally, after looking at all the possibilities on your display, the first cup of coffee. “Which coffee do you use?” the machine then asks. Then he sets the grind on it. Our previous device was quite noisy. We had to put a rubber tile under it because the whole stone countertop started to resonate with it. So we were prepared for a lot of noise. But none of that. A civilized sound when grinding and pouring the coffee, but also when foaming the milk, whether it is whole milk or oat milk. We were used to that too.
In short, we are happy, very happy with this device. And not only we, but also our daughters who live away from home have discovered the device. After one day I saw a personal profile of one of the daughters appear on the device. And am I imagining it now, or do they come home much more often than before….

A cup of coffee the way you want it, when you want it

• Beautiful design
• Delicious coffee
• bit more noise

The SM8785/00 is a wonderful device for many different types of coffee.
Very chic design!
The device starts up quickly and is easy to operate afterwards. The device can be fully set per type of coffee, a little more milk in your cappuccino, a little less strong cup of coffee in the morning, no problem at all. You can then set this in your own profile so that you can brew your cup of coffee with favorite settings in a few clicks on the screen.

The touchscreen is fast (or the software)
You often have to wait in a hurry early in the morning until you can finally drink a cup of coffee because the touchscreen and the machine do not respond quickly.
The machine can be connected to your WiFi network so that you can update your device to the latest version. My machine was immediately ready for one. The screen does not really turn off when it is in standby, you always see a very light white haze, which is good for startup.

With the milk frother, you can make Cappuccinos and Latte Macchiatos to your liking by adjusting the temperature and amount of milk. The milk frother works well and is tastier than ready-made milk, but the foam layer is not very firm. I might have expected a little bit for a device in the price range. The milk reservoir is a separate jug, but you can also hang the tube loose in your milk carton, so that you can put it back in the fridge in both cases.

In my opinion, the device makes a little more noise, but makes a cup of coffee pretty quickly. I have an open kitchen and visitors are just a bit too loud, if only for a moment, since only the grinding makes the most noise.

Cleaning, which he indicates in the display, requires some more actions, but that is also all perfectly doable in the end.

All in all an excellent device, but at this price it should be.
