Integrated rinsing and cleaning guarantees the machine a long and active life. Use the machine's energy saving mode to suit the circumstances: this helps you save energy - and money - without having to give up genuine coffee specialties. And if you plan not to use the machine for a while, you can use the built-in mains switch to shut off the mains power supply completely.

Saeco Xelsis Review  

          I have (now you can say had!!) the Saeco Primea Touch Plus. I mainly make cappucinos. With the Primea, I had issues with the milk temperature (too cold) and no milk foam. Also, the cleanup was a pain.
I decided to try the Xelsis and I am glad that I did. So far I have had the machine for about two weeks and it is a winner. The milk comes out hot and the foam is perfect (looks like micro-foam done by a wand). It is easy to maintain and has worked flawless. The only negative is that the drip tray is kind of small but is it very quick and easy to empty. If you are looking for a quick and easy cappucino this machine is for you.

The most helpful favorable review by Wolfenhawke

Exceptional!  

          I spent my Christmas 2009 reviewing expresso machines. I had just returned from a trip to Europe and finally was going to fold and get an expresso machine. I missed the expresso from Italy and France. 1oz of crema delight.

          So, I liked the Breville from all the reviews but was worried about some of the negativity on the "wet puck" I had read. All the reviews mentioned excellent coffee though, so it was on my short list.

          Then I saw the Breville BES860XL, also known as the Barista Express Programmable Expresso. From the looks you can tell this unit has exchanged the hot water dispenser for a bean grinder. This unit is a fully automatic expresso machine with the super automatic feature of grinding a pre-measure of beans for your brew. Note, it is not a super automatic machine as you still need to manually mount the portafilter into the group head, and clean the filter afterwards. This is as automatic as you will want to go if you want to really control your coffee. Read Full Review >>

The most helpful critical review by D. Blickstein

 They don't last

          I'm going to have to give this a negative review.

          We are about to toss out our second machine in 5 years because it stopped working. I really expect this sort of appliance to last quite a bit longer than 2-2.5 years.

          I have reliably de-calcified it each month, but the failures seem to have more to do with the controls and what not, and the minimum repair bill seems to be well over half the cost of a new machine once you factor in shipping.

          It makes decent espresso (not great) and it foams milk VERY VERY well, but I'm not going to recommend a machine you have to replace every couple of years.

          Of course, your miliage may vary.
