Review on ☕ Experience Excellence with the Saeco HD8964/47 Gran Baristo Espresso Machine in Black by Mark Marcellus

I've been using mine for about 3.5 years. I've just checked my machine's stats and have made 3500 drinks so far and have NEVER had a single problem. This is a HUGE statement and achievement for ANY "super" car. That alone could give you the opportunity to stop reading this review and buy this one. My opening statement: if it breaks tomorrow, I'll seriously think about something else. Yes, it's expensive, but you'll only have to buy one of these over time. and it pays off (comfort and durability). It's built like a tank and offers incredible flexibility. You can customize your drink EXACTLY to your needs (volume/size of your cup, strength, temperature, whatever) and push ONE button every time to make it happen. I will not go into the description of the coffee selection (see photo). No matter what kind of lighting you have in your kitchen, it's almost impossible to read, so you have to remember the position of the buttons. The next problem is that an ordinary cup of coffee is better left to a special coffee maker, and finally. the tray rattles/vibrates slightly during operation. As with any super car, you need to maintain your car! However, here are some additional minor issues: - The "shelf" that the cup/milk carafe sits on needs to be in place for most maintenance. This limits the size of the bin you use when descaling etc. You can empty the smaller container more frequently when descaling, removing oil, etc. than if you could place a larger jug under the spout. Bottom line, despite my little things, this car is great. At the end of the day, you'll have a machine that will give you years of pleasure and will easily make 1,000 drinks at will - as long as you take care of your machine.
