The Saeco Odea Go

JL Hufford Marketing :: Coffee Snob Certified

I've recently purchased the Saeco Odea Go. Well, I guess it was Christmas so I've had it for about six months. It quit working the other day and I was beside myself. The machine has put out excellent coffee time and again for my guests and me. I would say I average 5-6 cups of coffee a day from this machine. (I'm going to see someone about my addiction)

Since the machine had been doing so well under such intense performance expectations you can be sure that I was intrigued by its sudden departure from working status. Upon checking my user manual I realized that I didn't have much more information than I began with so I began to problem solve. I checked everything I could and double checked. I was seconds away from calling technical support when I decided to pull the brew group out and see what I could find.

It didn't look too dirty but I decided that cleaning it couldn't help. I didn't pull out the toothbrush or anything, I just simply ran the unit under water until I couldn't see and more coffee grinds. I stuck the brew group back in and voila, I was back in business.

I was more than pleased that Technical Service was not needed and I was able to cure my machine's illness myself. So, if you have a super auto and it quits working, do a little bit of problem solving, you might be able to save yourself some time and fix it. Email me with questions.

Happy Brewing!

Saeco Grind & Brew

Are you looking for a great drip coffee maker that will also grind the beans for you? Then you need to check out the Saeco Grind & Brew. Most customers will call in and ask about Capresso’s CoffeeTeam GS or TS, but let me tell you to spend your money on the Grind &Brew instead. You will eventually end up there anyways, why not save yourself the step? Saeco’s machine withstands a lot of use and abuse, and we can tell you that, because we have had one in our office. The Capresso unit starts to leak, doesn’t keep the coffee hot enough, won’t grind enough coffee, and etc. The Saeco will hold 8.5 ounces in the bean hopper and it also has a bypass built in, in case you wanted to try some pre-ground coffee. The machine will turn off the hot plate after 2 hours, so you will never worry about if you left the machine on.  We haven’t had a customer complain about this unit! So what are you waiting for? Grab your Saeco Grind & Brew now!

Saeco Odea Giro Plus Cappuccino


Are you searching for the Saeco Odea Giro Redesign? You will be looking for a while, because it has been upgraded and replaced with the Saeco Odea Giro Plus Cappuccino! What are the differences you ask? You will still get the great design and ease of use, along with the improvements. The first thing you will notice is the color difference. The Redesign was grey where the Plus Cappuccino is a silver or titanium color! This will work perfect for those with white or stainless steel appliances! You are also getting an upgrade in the performance pressure. The Redesign had a 7-8 bar pressure where the Plus has a 8-9 bar pressure. You will also have five grinder settings with the Plus! That is an upgrade over the 3 with the Redesign. Another small difference is that they switched from using the Aqua Prima filter with the Redesign to the Intenza filter for the Plus.You will also notice a shorter wait time between brewing and frothing. You had to wait 15 seconds for the Redesign, now it is only 10 seconds! If you are not great at frothing milk, the Plus has this problem covered for you! It has a frothing mechanism called Cappuccinatore which will siphon milk from a cup or a thermal milk container and froth it for you right into your cup! No more playing around with the pannarello wand in the morning!
