For example, the body of the coffee is fully adjustable, along with the brew temperature and strength. The display takes you through several optional steps to ensure each brew is just right.
Instead of simply pushing a button for a generic beverage, you can customize each cup by swiping the indicator bars up or down as desired. You can create up to eight profiles and save specific drinks directly on the screen so that you don’t have to scroll through the menu to find your favorite drink. The colorful screen provides instant access to 15 different coffee drinks along with options for warm milk, frothed milk and hot water. One of its most valuable assets is a crisp and clear 3.5-inch touchscreen display with intuitive controls. Both machines also use the same brew unit.Īlthough it’s the first super-automatic espresso coffee machine that I’ve tested, the user-friendly Xelsis quickly put my mind at ease. It’s similar in size to the Philips 3200 Series Fully Automatic Espresso Machine with LatteGo, which I also reviewed. Standing 11 inches wide, 19 inches deep and 15 inches high, this is a relatively compact machine that should fit under most kitchen cabinets. This is a really nice feature to have since you’ll need to use your fingers to empty the grounds container and fill up the water tank. While the rest of the machine is mostly plastic and tends to smudge a bit, the stainless steel doesn’t seem to show fingerprints. In terms of appearance, the Xelsis looks the part of a premium home espresso machine, thanks to its sleek brushed stainless steel front. Here are my thoughts after spending a few weeks with the appliance. There are cheaper espresso machines out there, so is the Xelsis really worth it? Philips sent me a Saeco Xelsis for an in-depth review. As far as super-automatic espresso machines go, the Saeco Xelsis is a moderately priced machine and a compelling solution if you’re trying to skip the crowded and expensive coffee shops.
