Saeco is a premium Italian manufacturer of fully automatic espresso machines and coffee makers, renowned for inventing the first bean-to-cup brewing system.
Saeco International Electronics was founded in 1981 in Gaggio Montano, Italy, establishing itself as a leader in the coffee industry. In 1985, Saeco revolutionized home brewing by developing the world’s first completely automatic “bean-to-cup” espresso machine, allowing users to enjoy fresh Italian espresso with the touch of a button.
Today, often associated with Philips, Saeco continues to produce high-end super-automatic espresso machines such as the Xelsis, GranAroma, and PicoBaristo series.

Common questions about manuals, registration, and support for this brand.
Descaling frequency depends on water hardness and usage, but generally, it should be done every 3 months or when the machine's indicator light turns on. Using an AquaClean filter can extend this interval significanly.
The AquaClean filter is a water ion exchange filter that removes calcium from the water before it enters your machine. When changed regularly (every 3 months), you can brew up to 5,000 cups without needing to descale the machine.
You can register your coffee machine at the official Saeco website often referred to as MyCoffeeMachine, or through the machine's built-in Wi-Fi interface if your model supports connectivity.
Many Saeco machines feature HygieSteam, which uses steam to sanitize the internal milk circuit. It is recommended to run the quick clean function after brewing milk-based drinks and perform a deep clean regularly according to the manual.
