Saeco S-TRP-ST Talea Ring Plus Super Automatic Espresso Machine
Product Description
The Talea Ring Plus offers all the convenience of a super automatic espresso machine, but includes more options for frothing and steaming milk for cappuccinos and lattes, as well as click wheel technology--programming and brewing with the Talea Ring Plus is as simple as using an ipod. The Talea Ring Plus has a LCD display with a click wheel interface for simplified operation of programmable settings. The Talea takes care of the grinding, dosing, tamping and brewing, but allows for personal taste in the programming of coffee size, strength and temperature. The LCD display lets you know what is happening in the machine at all times and will even tell you when maintenance and cleaning are needed. The Talea Ring Plus offers a new technology with its milk island for automatic frothing, but also comes with a manual steam wand. The 13.5 ounce glass milk island plugs into the side of the machine and actually draws steam from the Talea to make its steamed and frothed milk. Best of all, it's easy to clean. The Talea 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 Ring Plus includes a pre-ground doser, adjustable built-in ceramic disc grinder, automatic cup warming surface that holds up to 6 espresso cups, a removable 57 ounce water tank, motorized drip tray that moves up and down with the touch of a finger, 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.

I owned a Jura Impressa S90 for 6 years at a daily rate of 8 espressos . No problems , I sold it to upgrade it for a professional like machine.. Bad decision, The Talea Ring Plus has a beautiful design and is relatively small for a full automatic, but...After 4 months it was leaking (faulty 0 rings ), it wastes more water that it goes into the coffee, it is very high maintenance to clean (new filter every 2 weeks, cleaning tablet every 3 weeks, descaling twice in 3 months), but most important if you have a problem forget about Saeco customer service:rude, incompetent and they don't return emails or calls, so you better have a good relationship with your retailer to enlist their help. After the repair of my NEW machine, Saeco lost my original box and protective pads, they scratched the led display and plate and the serial number sticker was missiing...After 8 single coffees you must empty the grounds and the drip tray! the container is flooded with water.What about the coffee? Just OK , not any better that one could get with a machine one third of the price.If you are thinking superautomatic forget Saeco( at least this model)

Just purchaseed this machine this week.I must say at first i was a little leary from the not so great reviews i read on Amazon. However I did some more research and found many positive reviews elsewhere online so decided to give it a try>The Saeco Talea Ring is very advanced and offers many settings that you wouldn't find on the average super automatic machine. It can be pretty tricky to find the right setting for your taste but definatelly possible. After 4 trial expresso's and maybe 20 min to setup all the settings I had perfectlly brewed coffee with nice rich crema. I did not experience any leaaking or messes mentioned on the other reviews.My only negative comment if you want to call it that is the machine is a bit pricey however i love my coffee and my beleif is satisfaction justifies the cost.

We have always been big Saeco fans - had their machines for many many years and got a lot of our friends turned on to the brand. So we finally decided it was time to get their latest and greatest - the Talea Ring Plus.Oh my goodness! I can't believe how poorly this has been. The Espresso is quite good and I like the adjustments and controls. But frothing milk is a catastrophe! It usually will not create an froth, just hot milk. No matter whether you use the cappucchinatore or island. And the island tends to leak or come loose... Should you ever drop the glass carafe of the milk island, you will be surprised how much a replacement is. After a few months, the machine started to leak and now we got a taste of Saeco's so-called customer service. It was the worst experience ever, period. After many weeks of phone calls (I am not making this up!) we finally got authorization to send it in. The returned it very quickly (impressive) and now the leaking seems fixed for the moment but still no froth! It is ridiculous - any cheap, older Saeco (i.e. Vienna) used to do this great!If this has not scared you enough, please do a Google search for it - you will find tons of bad reviews and disgruntled owners. Wish I had done that!I would so not ever buy another Saeco - I feel I got screwed for my $1,500. Next stop - Jura.
