SAECO Aulika Mid black (RI9844/01)

The main advantage is high efficiency. The machine was initially designed for daily preparation of a large number of servings of coffee. The company claims that the device is capable of making up to 80 cups per day, but they did not put such a load on the device, therefore, believe us, we do not take responsibility for these words. With the press of one button you can make latte, espresso, lungo, macchiato. Using the manual mode, you can make cappuccino, and a good one at that. There is a container for waste, quite spacious. The manufacturer indicates that it holds the remains of 18 servings, but did not specifically count to check the numbers, again. If you park the car in a coffee shop, the ability to lock the compartments with a key will be useful. Using a counter, you can see the number of cups prepared to keep track of the grains spent. Very simple and intuitive controls. The buttons have the ability to directly select - just press one to set the desired drink. Conveniently, the machine itself signals the end of grains or milk. Bar owners will appreciate the large water or coffee reservoir, which does not need to be refilled as often as in home models.

I want to start with the fact that the coffee maker works exclusively with bean coffee, which means you don’t need to worry about a coffee grinder. The espresso preparation is completely automatic, you just need to place the cup under the dispenser and press the button. The coffee has a rich taste, there is a thick foam - everything is as it should be. It is also possible to make cappuccino and latte, although this is not done automatically. The milk must be churned by hand, although this happens quickly.
I was pleased with the presence of fine-tuning the temperature and strength of the coffee. You can use a coffee machine to heat water - thus, it replaces an electric kettle.
The coffee maker itself is compact, does not create much noise during operation, and the process of preparing drinks is quite fast.
