This steam-powered machine produces coffee not unlike that from a stovetop/moka espresso maker. More of a rich, strong cup of coffee than a traditional espresso extraction, this machine also has powerful steaming functionality, making it a great choice for cafe con leche/cafe au lait lovers out there. Watch Gail take us through its paces.
Here we present the new Saeco Syntia Super Automatic Espresso & Cappuccino machine. It has a nice stainless steel body and digital display. The features are outlined and the warnings are explained. There are three drinks prepared, a standard shot of espresso, a cappuccino and an americano using the bypass doser.

@cinenutz Thanks for the tip! - Kat
ReplyDeleteAs a 5-year+ steam user, I wanted to point out that you do NOT need to blow all the pressure out like that after every use. What a mess and a hassle! The pressure should die down naturally after a few minutes (15-20, in my experience).
ReplyDeleteUnless you intend to make an immediate second cup, you can just wait while enjoying your first. Before brewing number two, simply test the pressure by opening and closing the steam valve. If it sputters weakly, you know it's safe to open and refill the tank.

ReplyDelete@doctorofthefuture For under $100 check out the DeLonghi EC155. If you can go a little higher, the Capresso Cafe Espresso is a great little machine. - Kat
ReplyDelete@SeattleCoffeeGear oh ok, i understand, can you recommend any similarly price espresso machines (i.e. under 100 $) that would produce that traditional espresso machines? (i've found some other pump machines, but what in particular drew my attention to this machine was that the build quality was good and it looked like it wouldn't break down in under a year). i've watched a couple of your videos i know that u say that the pump is the best and you should get a decent grinder for the coffee
ReplyDelete@doctorofthefuture It's just a very different prep, heat, temp and duration wise than with a traditional pump driven espresso machine. This machine is very similar to what you have been drinking because it's steam driven, like your stovetop. I think this is going to be neck and neck with your stovetop, coffee flavor wise, but it's not a traditional espresso extraction. To change the flavor noticeably, you'd need to get a pump driven machine. For what this is, I think it's great. - Kat
ReplyDeleteSo would you say this is a good starting machine (i was looking for a machine somewhere around 50 dollars and i ended up getting this one before i stumbled on your video review)? What is the difference between the stove top espresso machines and the machines higher end machines? I've been using the stove top espresso machine for years and ended up getting this machine for convenience but i can't see coffee tasting much better than out of a stove top espresso machine?
ReplyDelete@SeattleCoffeeGear I had a Krups steam machine and was happy for years. What I miss is the steamed milk on top of my coffee-this foamed milk has a nice texture to drink and also insulated the coffee from going cold.
ReplyDelete@anthyman1 OK - well, I will try it out and see how it fares. I think that it's a great option for stovetop/moka pot users because the coffee is comparable; but it's not going to be traditional espresso just because of the temperature element. - Kat
ReplyDelete@SeattleCoffeeGear Don't be too sure. It might not really be crema, it might just be foam. I also couldn't get the steam wand deep enough with this machine. I think that they tried to oversimplify this machine.
ReplyDelete@anthyman1 Cool - we will have to try that out and see what kind of results we get. Thanks for the feedback! - Kat
ReplyDelete@EnigmaC4 Glad you enjoyed it! - Kat
ReplyDelete@robotmotor On my toes? I like them -- and have been wearing them there for 15 years :D - Kat
ReplyDeleteI have one of these, and I always tamp the coffee, and it usually has GREAT crema, I think...
