- How is "semi-automatic" different from "automatic" and "super automatic"? What type of unit is this?
When we use the term "semi-automatic", we mean a machine that is such that the user must press a button both to start and to stop the brew process. When we use the term "automatic", we mean a machine that is such that the user needs only to press a button once and the machine stops and starts the brew process. When we use the term "super-automatic", we mean a machine that will grind, tamp, brew, and dispose of grounds all with one push of a button. The Saeco Talea Ring Plus is a super-automatic.
- The Saeco Talea Ring Plus takes coffee beans, but can it take pods or capsules?
The Saeco Talea Ring Plus can only take coffee beans or already ground coffee.
- What's with the name?
The Saeco Talea Ring Plus is so named for its ring-shaped control. As you move your finger around the ring, you can scroll through the machine's various programming features.
- This machine uses a ceramic grinder, whereas other Saeco super-automatic coffee centers use a stainless steel burr grinder. What's the difference?
Newer Saeco units are fitted with innovative ceramic cutting burrs, which are extremely durable, and deliver a quieter grind than stainless cutting burrs.
- What's the difference between this machine and other Saeco super-automatic coffee centers?
Unlike some other Saeco units, this machine uses the Saeco SBS brewing system (which takes advantage of a direct control override dial on the spout), includes Rapid Steam for fast steam/brew recovery times, uses a new long steam arm which can be connected to the included Saeco Milk Frothing Island, and features a total redesign in color and shape.
- This machine uses the Saeco "SBS" brewing system (the dial on the front of the brewing spout). What is it and why should I use it?
Although it has long been possible to control the amount of water used to brew a coffee, it has only recently become possible to adjust the amount of water added to a coffee drink during a brewing cycle. That means that if someone wants a cafe Americano (a long espresso, or espresso with added hot water), and someone else wants an espresso, each person can press the same brew button and adjust the amount of water used to brew after the brewing has taken place.
- What happens if my machine breaks or I have problems using it within one year of my purchase?
Our staff is trained in the use and maintenance of this machine, a 2 year warranty is included on each machine.
- How long will it take for my machine to arrive if I get standard ground shipping?
If we ship your machine standard Ground via FedEx, then the estimated delivery time is three to five business days starting on the business day that the item is ordered if the item is ordered prior to 1:00 pm EST. If the item is ordered after 1:00 pm EST, it usually ships same or next business day.
