I have owned several Jura, and DeLongi models and none of these even comes close to producing the aroma, froth, and temperature one would expect from an espresso maker at a similar price.”

Complaints:

One owner says that the Saeco Xelsis Digital ID Automatic Espresso Machine doesn’t heat the milk hot enough but that is “So, easy enough to fix but takes another 30 secs.” He says “the steaming wand is ready within a second and the process of getting my mildly warm latte from 105 to 150 is about 25 seconds, which is outstanding!” Owners also say that the maintenance of this machine takes a bit more effort than others but feel that extra effort will result in continued quality.
