The OptiDose system allows the machine to change the amount of beans used for each beverage, from 7 to 10.5 grams. Adjusting the amount of coffee changes the flavour of the espresso from weak to strong.
Advantage: Simple and Easy! You can customize every cup of coffee according to your individual tastes.

The Talea Touch features a powerful pump, rated at 15 bars (217.6 psi) of pressure. Traditional Italian coffee requires this steady pressure to produce a premium extraction.
Advantage: You brew authentic Italian coffee right in your own home.

The Talea Touch is designed with three fully programmable brew settings. To program, simply touch one of the drink icons and follow the on-screen instructions. With each drink, you can program the quantity of espresso dispensed, temperature of the espresso, the amount of ground coffee used and more.
Advantage: If there is more than one coffee drinker in the house, each can have their coffee exactly the way they like it.

The ceramic disc grinder is Saeco's most recent innovation, available in all new models of the Saeco range of automatic coffee machines. After careful research, Saeco finally chose this material to put an end to grinding with metal components. Ceramic is inert, and thus ensures the best results without altering the flavour of the coffee. The new ceramic disc grinder also provides a more consistent grind, allowing perfect dosing and blending, and giving you more control over the density and body of your coffee. And that's not all - the amount of coffee residue left in the cup is substantially reduced. Long-lasting, minimum noise! Thanks to its sturdy build, the ceramic coffee grinder will quietly grind to the same consistency and high standards for a longer period of time.
Advantage: The ceramic disc grinder grinds considerably quieter than steel burr grinders.

The pre-ground bypass doser allows your machine to skip over the grinder in order to use decaffeinated or flavoured pre-ground coffee.
Advantage: Versatility! Everyone can have a coffee no matter what their bean preference.

The motorized drip tray can be easily raised or lowered allowing different cup sizes. Espresso cups or glasses can easily be accommodated. It is also removable for easy cleaning.
Advantage: No matter what coffee mood you're in, we can fit the mug that goes with it.
