Definitely worth 5 stars overall in my estimation - having done lots of research and knowing its limitations before the purchase. Quality of the espresso produced surpasses almost all coffee shops including Charbucks and others by far. An expert barrista may be able to produce slightly better quality, but even their results are not consistent.I previously returned a Jura-Capresso 13423 Impressa S9 One Touch Automatic Coffee-and-Espresso Center, Platinum because it produced inferior espresso and frothed milk with gigantic lukewarm bubbles. I would not have returned it (even at that price) if it had performed as well as the Talea. (THANK YOU AMAZON for a great return policy.) In fairness to the Jura, maybe it was faulty - at the finest setting the grounds looked very coarse - coarser than I would use for French-Press... Read more |

I have had my saeco talea Giro for about two years now. It had to be serviced once during this time. The machine is a bit touchy and you really have to get to know how it works before you can judge it. First of all you have to keep it cleaned and de-scaled to keep it in good working order. If you have no time for this then do not buy it. Lights will come on before you start to brew to let you know you have to clean out the coffee grounds or empty the water well. This can be annoying if you are ready to have an espresso and you have to stop and clean things out. It will not work unless this is done first. So what I do after I brew is take the time and clean and empty grounds so the next time it is ready to go. With that said, I absolutely love making my latte it is of the highest quality that you would find at Starbucks or any other great coffee house. I even take it with me on vacation, if I can. I think for the money though, it should be made of stainless steel and not... Read more

A princess but worth it.,
This review is from: Philips Saeco RI9822/47 Talea Giro Plus Automatic Espresso Machine, Silver and Titanium (Kitchen)
I've had this machine almost a year and have used it at least once a day with no problems. It's my first expresso machine so it's really my testing machine. It makes great expresso and it's very quick and easy but as previous reviewer said, it's a bit touchy and I found the initial learning curve annoying.Pros: I can make multiple cups easily.
It has the ability to select shot size, strength of expresso and the amount of water dispensed with the shot.
It has a pre-ground coffee bypass feature which I love for late night decaf and trying different brands for different family members tastes.
Because it warms quickly I can have a latte before work in the morning.
As semi automatic its convenient, consistent and makes great lattes.
No more costly Starbucks!
Cons :You have to stay on top of the maintenance and prep.
Lights will come on if the grounds aren't emptied and water tank filled.
It takes up a good bit of counter space.
It's... Read more
