Detailed Product Features
New, Interactive Touch Screen Display
The touch-screen is the new exclusive innovation available only in the Incanto S-Class Sirius model. This technology was originally developed for mobile telephones, and is now used in our coffee machines. This new hi-tech interactive display is the product of Saeco's continuous research into innovation. Thanks to its graphic display and icons, you can prepare coffee and your favorite drinks with only a minimum effort and in just a few minutes. It comes with Sensitive Touch technology, which not only gives the machine its up-to-the-minute look, but it also makes it easier to use, thanks also to its special icons giving clear, instant details of the functions.
The New Saeco Brewing System - SBS
An absolutely revolutionary innovation. SBS – Saeco Brewing System – Saeco's new patented international exclusive, is the avant-garde technology which has changed the world of coffee machines. This ingenious system allows you to make an infinite variety of coffees from just one automatic machine and at the mere twist of a knob. Whether it is an intense Italian ristretto (turn the knob to the right) or an American-style long coffee (turn the knob to the left) SBS satisfies all tastes giving a full flavor and a truly unique creamy finish. Moreover the coffee dose in the extraction chamber is fully exploited, thanks to the pressure, which remains constant throughout the extraction cycle. This way, all of the aroma is concentrated in the cup, offering you a superb creamy finish and a truly rich flavor.
New Ceramic Coffee Grinder
The ceramic grinder is Saeco's most recent innovation, available EXCLUSIVELY in the Incanto S-Class range of coffee machines.
After careful research, Saeco finally chose this material to put an end to grinding with metal components. Indeed ceramic is inert, and thus ensures the best results without altering the flavor of coffee.
The new ceramic grinder also provides a more even grind, allowing perfect dosing and blending, and giving you more control over the density and body of your coffee. And that's not all: the amount of coffee residue left in the cup is sizably reduced. Long-lasting, minimum noise! Thanks to its sturdy build, the ceramic coffee-grinder will quietly go on grinding to the same high standard for a long time.
Aqua Prima Water Filter
Softer water for a more robust coffee. With Aqua Prima the number of flavor-altering substances found in water are reduced, and any micro-particles and impurities are filtered. So you can enjoy the improved flavor and full aroma of your coffee. Aqua Prima also reduces the formation of lime scale in the machine so that it lasts even longer.
Fully Automatic Espresso & Coffee Brewing
Do you like to start your day with an espresso, but don’t want to have to clean up the mess? Just press the button and the Incanto will automatically grind your coffee beans, and dispense freshly brewed, rich and flavorful coffee into your cup. This machine allows you to choose the volume and strength of your coffee or espresso by simply pressing buttons on the control panel. Then it cleans up and is ready for the next order in less than 30 seconds. Press the brew button once for a single espresso or coffee. Pushing the brew button twice quickly will put a double shot of espresso or coffee in your cup.
Utilize the enormous flexibility of the this machine’s programming options by varying the water volume up to 7 ounces and the ability to use up to 12 grams of ground coffee per brewing cycle. By experimenting with the water volume and grams of ground coffee you can fine-tune your coffee and easily program these parameters into the memory.
Hot Water Dispenser & Rapid-Steam®Technology
The Sirius as features Saeco's patented Rapid-Steam® system! Turn the steam knob and have instant steam you want for cappuccinos or lattes. Other systems can have you waiting up to 45 seconds for the steam function to be ready but not with Rapid-Steam®; you’ll have consistent steam for repeated drinks.
The special milk frothing tip delivers perfect foam every time for lattes or cappuccinos, even if you have never foamed milk before! The steam wand is located on the right front of the machine and it accommodates frothing pitchers up to 32 oz. If you need instant hot water for making tea, hot cocoa, or Americanos, the hot water feature is available at the press of a button.
3 Pre-Set Buttons for Cup Size Selection
Getting a great cup of your favorite coffee is as easy as one, two. Press one for a short and two, or three for a café crème. Say the word, “enchanting”, and by then your coffee will be ready for you.
Pre-Ground Coffee Funnel
Need a change in your coffee routine? Just pour your chosen ground coffee into the special pre-ground coffee funnel, which bypasses the coffee beans in the bean hopper. This feature is really practical when there’s someone in the crowd who wants a decaffeinated espresso and there are only espresso beans with caffeine in the machine. The ground coffee goes into the funnel and the machine takes care of the rest. When it’s finished, it automatically resets back to the beans held in the machine. This feature makes the Incanto a great choice for home or office where lots of choice is desirable as well as convenience.
Coffee Strength Selection
Some days you need just a little bigger kick to your coffee. The Incanto has a feature that will allow you to adjust the amount of coffee to be ground for each individual cup. Adjust it from 6 grams to 12 grams to change the strength of the coffee. 7 grams of ground coffee is the usual amount for espresso, 9-12 grams is used for coffee.
Special Pre-infusion Brew System Cycle
Pre-infusion allows you to get maximum flavor from the brewing process. This advanced system takes the newly ground coffee beans from the internal coffee grinder and correctly tamps the coffee. Next comes “pre-infusion”. The grounds are pre-soaked and then brewed before being discarded automatically into the internal dump box. The machine then resets itself for the next brewing cycle.
Professional Quality Coffee Grinder with 18 Settings
Proper grinding is at the core of excellent coffee production. The Incanto has a built-in, conical type burr grinder with 18 different choice of grind, from very fine to coarse. The same type used by the professionals. Pushing the brew button sets the cycle in motion with the grinder measuring out the correct amount of beans for the selection made and then grinding it to specifications.
Conical burr grinders are made up of a cone shaped grinding wheel that turns slow enough not to burn the coffee beans, (a problem with low cost grinders). The heavy-duty steel of the grinding wheel promotes a life of long service and that’s strong enough to resist damage from the little stones that sometimes slip in with the beans. This durable construction is consistent with top quality machines and little or no maintenance or service is needed.
Built-in 68 Ounce Water Tank
The water reservoir can easily be refilled while it is still on the machine or by removing it with the easy-grip handle and filling it at the kitchen tap. The reservoir is made of clear ABS plastic so checking the water level is a breeze.
For Perfect Coffee Extraction - a Powerful Pump
Delivering a maximum pressure of 15 bars, this on board water pump pulls the maximum flavor from the coffee beans.
Coffee Bean Storage Hopper & Internal Waste Box
Keeping 1/4 pounds of beans fresh and ready for grinding is the built in, lidded coffee bean hopper. When the coffee grounds are spent, the machine delivers them to the internal dump box; which can hold up to 15 expended coffee portions. It’s easy to remove and clean.
Stainless Steel Heating System
One of the reasons the Incanto is great for anything from small commercial settings to home or office use, is its durable 1200 watt stainless steel boiler. It provides for continuous use or a lot of servings over a short time period.
Adjustable Beverage Dispensing Nozzle & Cup Stacking Surface
This nozzle moves up or down to accept cup sizes up to 3.5” inches high and can be moved aside during the brewing process. There is also cup-stacking surface so you can keep your favorite espresso cups close by.
Operational Lights and Indicators
The machine uses a system of indicators to help you monitor the brewing process and signal when the machine needs to be re-supplied with water or coffee beans and when it needs to be cleaned.
Swivel Base
Getting into your espresso machine for cleaning and maintenance is important for the long life of your machine. The swivel base makes it easy to access all sides of your machine.
