I have had three other Saeco models, so I am used to how they work. The coffee quality is much better with this new model. Friends say it tastes more like the coffee from a cafe' shop. Great crema . Everything is easy to use. It has a milk island which is an optional extra. It produces a dense frothed milk, much like the style everyone is after today not the light super fluffy type, but you can still produce this by steaming the milk with the steam .
The warming tray on top is a bit small and could be hotter. There is a two year warranty and i bought that from www.espressoitalia.com.au
They have a very professional customer service and their service department is very organized.
I reccommend the Saeco Talea Touch
