Looking at Saeco..which machine? - 2007/11/10 18:17 First off I apologize to Colin, I emailed directly with this question, but I should have posted here to get other opinions as well. I have been researching the internet, friends, etc. on the topic of superautomatics, and I had settled on the Gaggia Titanium or the Saeco Incanto Sirius. The comparable Jura is out of the price range. Anyway, I talked to folks at Espressotec, Creative Kitchens and Saeco on Dufferin in T.O., and each had a different opinion on which to buy. At Saeco Dufferin, he was really pushing me towards the Saeco Talea Ring Plus (this is where your review comes in, Colin). His feeling was, since it is newer technology, it will be more reliable in the long run. But, other than Colin's part 1 review, I've found no consumer or professional reviews on this machine.
Any opinions, please? my wife and I enjoy an excellent cup of coffee, cappuccino, and me-the odd espresso.
Thanks again, and this site is a fantastic wealth of information.

Ron

Re:Looking at Saeco..which machine? - 2007/11/10 19:20 Hey! No apology necessary. One of the advantages of being a "home barista" review website that caters to those with a budget, there are always lots of questions left over after the review. This is totally normal. That is what my e-mail is for.

What happens from time to time is - people show up in my e-mail that have not taken the time to do some basic reading OR they wish to be spoon-fed.

You and 99.9999% of my readership do not fall into that category.

Bless your hearts! Colin is the Senior editor and creator of the CoffeeCrew.Com Website

I am in about the same place as you and had the same advice from Saeco on Steeles. Have you made a decision ?
