From the Editors

The Talea Giro offers all the convenience of a super automatic espresso machine, and is milk island capable ( milk island sells separately) which offers more options for frothing and steaming milk for cappuccinos and lattes. The Milk Island is a unique Saeco development for all Talea models. In fact, it is the key function for all milk frothing connoisseurs. Whether you prefer espresso macchiato, cappuccino, latte macchiato or any other speciality, the preparation of creamy foam takes just a matter of seconds. The Milk Island is available in glass with a total capacity of 13.5 ounces or 1.7 cups.The Talea Giro has a built in ceramic grinder that puts an end to grinding with metal components. Ceramic is inert and won't react to the coffee or alter its flavor. The ceramic grinder provides a more even grind, allowing for perfect dosing and blending and is also much quieter about performing its duties than stainless steel grinders. The Talea Giro takes care of the grinding, dosing, tamping and brewing, but allows for personal taste in the programming of coffee size, strength and temperature. The Talea Giro offers the patented technology of the Saeco Brew System--turn the dial either right or left and change the strength and consistency of your coffee by either increasing or decreasing the water pressure as it moves through the grounds. Saeco Opti-dose has an adjustable 7 ¿ 10.5 gram doser regulating the amount of beans to grind per serving. Talea Giro includes an adjustable built-in ceramic disc grinder, automatic cup warming surface that holds up to 6 espresso cups, a stainless steel pannarello attachment for steaming milk and dispensing hot water, a removable 57 ounce water tank, manual drip tray that you can move up or down to adjust to any size cup, sliding wheels on the base of machine for convenient rotation and rapid steam technology---no waiting between frothing milk with pannarello attachment and brewing espresso.

Customer Response

Saeco Espresso Machine
What a dissapointment. I have had the this machine for 5 months. I have sent it back for 1 month for repairs and it is broken again. When it works it makes a nice espresso. Frustrating calling customer service all the time. Would rather have my $$ back and buy something else.Saeco 4038 Vienna Plus 15-Bar-Pump Super-Automatic Espresso Machine, GraphiteSaeco S-TG-ST Talea Giro Super Automatic Espresso Machine

I like mine
Bought mine at costco, great deal. Works well, Takes a little figuring out, but now is old hat. I agree it could hold a bit more coffee and water for this thirsty americano, but the output is very tasty.

WONDERFUL MACHINE!
I have had this machine for over 3 months. I use it every morning and it has worked very well! No problems at all. Good looking machine. You do have to add water and empty grounds weekly or bi-weekly (depending on use), but that is expected for any machine. This machine makes wonderful espresso and I have found the steam wand to work perfectly to make a perfect latte. I didn't bother to buy the milk island due to reviews i read, but i don't really think there is a need for it. Once again, great machine!! I highly recommend.

Good for about 3 months...then the problems begin...support HORRIBLE!
Great for about 3 months.

Then the steaming wand began to drip endlessly.

I have been trying to contact their support for a week now.
My total hold time has been well into the HOURS.
And I am on hold now as I write this review.

Would I buy this again...NO WAY!

Look for another product with better support.

Excellent product
I am extremely happy with this product. It is very user friendly. I had never owned an espresso machine before, and I wanted something that I would actually be able to use every morning before work. It really does just take seconds to make a delicious cup of cappuccino or espresso. I purchased this product in combination with the milk island, which I also highly recommend. The flavor of the coffee is excellent. The maintenance and cleaning so far are also very easy. One thing to know, is that it is hard to get much foam if you use nonfat or even 1% milk. I sometimes add a little cream to the milk in the milk island if I want alot of foam.
