Blending simplicity with state-of-the-art technology, this stylish, compact, super-automatic espresso/coffee machine provides an array of convenient features. Thanks to the graphic display and user-friendly icons of its large, interactive, touch-screen display, it's easy to prepare espresso or a favorite coffee drink with only minimal effort in just a few seconds. In addition, the Saeco Brewing System (SBS) makes it simple for anyone to brew coffee precisely to individual taste. Turning the dial located on the front of the dispensing head to the right delivers a robust Italian espresso; turning it to the left delivers a milder, American-style cup of coffee. The SBS feature regulates the amount of water pressure used to brew each cup, which changes the consistency and flavor of the espresso.
Along with its 15-bar pump pressure and stainless-steel boiler, the machine also includes an adjustable conical burr grinder, a 10-ounce bean hopper, a 68-ounce removable water tank, and a used grounds container. The machine's Aqua Prima water filter system reduces the number of flavor-altering substances often found in water, including micro-particles, trace amounts of metals, bacteria, and other impurities. The Aqua Prima filter also increases the longevity of the machine by reducing the build up of lime scale in the boiler.
Virtually noise free, the machine's durable built-in ceramic grinder allows for an even grind without affecting the flavor of the coffee. The removable brew group provides a noticeably more intense flavor with up to 12 grams of coffee per cup. The brew group removes easily and can be cleaned by rinsing under warm running water--there is never any need to use chemicals to clean the brew group or machine. Other useful details include a steam wand with Rapid-Steam technology for frothing milk, an automatic decalcifying cycle, Saeco aroma system, and Saeco OptiDose, as well as a dual-spout dispensing head, hot-water nozzle, cup-warming surface, and swivel base. Housed in sleek stainless steel, the espresso machine measures 15 by 11-3/4 by 15-3/4 inches and carries a one-year warranty.
From the Manufacturer
The newest Saeco fully automatic machine is designed with the serious coffee drinker in mind. The Incanto Sirius blends new user-friendly features with the very latest in brewing technology and introduces several new innovations from Saeco. First and foremost, the Saeco Brewing System (SBS) makes it easy for anyone to brew coffee precisely to their individual taste. The SBS dial regulates the amount of water pressure used to brew each cup, which changes the consistency and flavor of the espresso. This makes it easy for anyone to experience individual flavor, with one turn of the dial. Whether it is an intense Italian ristretto (turn the knob to the right) or an American-style long coffee (turn the knob to the left) SBS satisfies all tastes, giving a full flavor and a truly unique finish. It’s even possible to change the amount of coffee beans used for each beverage, from 6 to 9 grams, by using the OptiDose adjustable doser. By adjusting the amount of coffee, you can adjust the strength, from weak to strong, without changing the amount of water used. A pre-brewing cycle injects a small amount of hot water into the freshly ground coffee to maximize the flavor extraction. Decaf or flavored coffee can be brewed by using the bypass doser with any kind of ground coffee.
Get True Italian Espresso Taste
After careful research, Saeco determined that ceramic disc grinders offer the best performance for true Italian espresso. The Incanto Sirius has the first built-in ceramic grinder to be offered in any fully automatic espresso machine! Thanks to its sturdy structure, the ceramic grinder will quietly grind to the same high standards for a long time. The Incanto Sirius also has a newly designed removable brew group. This new generation brew group provides a noticeably more intense flavor with up to 12 grams of coffee per cup. The Saeco brew group is easy to remove and can be cleaned by rinsing under warm water. The water tank, dump box, and drip tray are also easily removable for cleaning and refilling. Additional features include an adjustable and removable dual-spout dispensing head, adjustable cup-warming surface, pre-grinding dose, automatic descaling cycle, Rapid Steam technology, hot water nozzle, Pannarello frothing device, programmable brew buttons, all-metal housing, and a swivel base.
The Sirius is also the first Saeco fully automatic machine to come standard with the new Aqua Prima water filter. The Aqua Prima filter reduces the number of flavor-altering substances often found in water. Micro-particles, trace amounts of metals, bacteria and impurities are filtered out of the water, leaving only the improved flavor and full aroma of each cup of coffee. It also increases the longevity of the machine by reducing lime scale build-up in the boiler. Equipped with the latest innovations, the Saeco Incanto Sirius offers the ultimate coffee experience.
Features
Touch Screen: This new exclusive innovation is available only in the Incanto S-Class Sirius model. Originally developed for mobile telephones, this new hi-tech interactive display has graphic display and icons, that let you prepare coffee and favorite drinks with a minimum effort and in just a few minutes. It comes with Sensitive Touch technology, which gives the machine its up-to-the-minute look and makes it easier to use, thanks to special icons giving clear, instant details.
Saeco Brewing System (SBS): SBS allows you to make an infinite variety of coffee at the mere twist of a knob. In addition, the coffee dose in the extraction chamber is fully exploited, thanks to the pressure, which remains constant throughout the extraction cycle.
New 12-gram Brewing Group: This provides a more intense coffee and an infinite choice of doses per cup. As always, the Saeco brew group is easy to remove, making the machine’s maintenance simple and effortless.
Ceramic Grinder: This puts an end to grinding with metal components. Ceramic is inert, and thus ensures the best results without altering the flavor of the coffee. Moreover, it is perfectly safe to use with food.
Cup-Warming Surface: The adjustable cup warming surface helps keep cups and espresso at an optimal temperature.
Pre-grinding Dose: The pre-grinding dose allows you to make many drinks in a row in less time. With this feature, the machine anticipates the next brew by performing a pre-grinding process for the following cup during the current brew cycle.
OptiDose: Allows you to adjust the amount of coffee ground from 6 grams to 9 grams of ground beans per brewing cycle.
Programmable Brew Buttons: Allow you to customize your machine to brew single, double, and even long espresso shots at the push of a button.
Dual Spout Dispensing Head: With the dual spout dispensing head, the espresso is divided evenly, so you can brew two cups simultaneously.
Adjustable & Removable Dispensing Head: Allows for several different sized cups and mugs to be used.
Saeco Aroma System: To optimize the coffee drinking experience, a special programmed step injects a small amount of hot water into the freshly ground coffee to start a pre-brewing process. This is done just before the actual brew cycle commences in order to extract the best elements from the coffee grounds.
Rapid Steam: This reduces the normal waiting time between coffee brewing and steam output to just a few seconds.
Articulated Pannarello Frothing Device: This makes getting that soft, velvety foam for a cappuccino fast and easy. Completely removable for easy rinsing, it offers flexibility and convenience when frothing milk.
Hot Water Nozzle: Dispenses steaming water for tea, hot chocolate, and instant soups.
Aqua Prima Water Filter: With this filter the number of flavor-altering substances found in water is reduced, and any micro-particles and impurities are filtered. The Aqua Prima filter also reduces the formation of lime scale, increasing the machine’s longevity.
Automatic Descaling Cycle: Keeps the machine in perfect operating order. When prompted by the user, mineral build-up in the internal boiler can be dissolved and removed at the push of a button--no fuss, no mess.

Rating - Great while it lasted...Saeco service is terrible
We really liked it for a couple months. Then our cleaning lady misaligned the brew group, the gears got stripped, and our local repair shop has been waiting for the spare parts from Saeco since then...waiting for 12 months, that is (!!!). The trains in Italy may run on time these days, but Saeco's supply chain doesn't.
My recommendation: 1) I love Amazon and buy a lot here, but I recommend against buying expensive items like this from Amazon (buy local for better service experience), and 2) don't buy Saeco machines from anywhere.
Rating - Great espresso, classy looks, so-so reliability.
Let me preface this review by saying that, as of this writing, the Incanto Sirus has been discontinued by SAECO. I dont quite understand this as they still make two other Incanto's that are essentially the same (along with other SAECO products they produce, including some Gaggia and Starbucks products), sans the touchscreen of the Sirius. This leads me to believe that, along with many reviews I've read (and personal experience thrown in), this particular touchscreen (supposedly originally developed for cell phone usuage) is problematic. It tends to duplicate commands on it's own (i.e., one coffee becomes two without further ... Read More
