Unique Integrated Milk Frothing System

At the heart of the one touch milk frothing system lays the removable, integrated 12 ounce milk container.  Simply fill the container with milk and insert it into the left side of the machine.  When you choose a milk based drink like a latte, cappuccino, or macchiato from the menu options, the machine will automatically draw milk from the container, and perfectly steam and froth it.  While this is happening, the machine will also be preparing the coffee - both the milk and the coffee will automatically dispense right into your cup. If you want to make a cafe mocha, feel free to use chocolate milk in the container.  And of course,  the Primea will froth the chocolate milk for perfect hot chocolate! The milk container can be stored in the refrigerator when not in use.

Pre-Ground Coffee Option

This option allows you to pour pre-ground coffee into a funnel that is accessed by lifting a small lid on top of the machine.  This feature is perfect when there is someone in the crowd who wants a decaffeinated espresso and there are only caffeinated espresso beans in the machine, or if you wish to sample other blends of coffee.  Select the "pre-ground" option using the menu options, then pour pre-ground coffee of your choice into the special coffee receptacle on top of the machine, then push the brew button.  After making a cup of coffee with the pre-ground option, the machine automatically resets back to the beans held in the machine. It’s all up to taster’s choice.

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.” To optimize the flavor extraction, a special step injects a little hot water into the freshly ground coffee, in order to soak it and let it swell up.  This is done just before the actual brew cycle commences.  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.  The Primea offers programming options for the pre-infusion cycle and infusion time.

The 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.

Ceramic Coffee Grinder

The ceramic grinder is Saeco's most recent innovation. After careful research, Saeco 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.

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 coffee 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 Primea is great for anything from small commercial settings to home or office use, is its durable stainless steel boiler.  It provides for continuous use or a lot of servings over a short time period.

Adjustable Drip Tray

The Primea has an automated adjustable height drip tray that raises or lowers the cups below the coffee dispensing spouts.  By pressing the button on the drip tray either up or down, a motor will automatically raise or lower the tray to the desired height depending on the height of your espresso cups or coffee mugs. 

Heated Cup Stacking Surface 

Located on the top of this machine is a heated surface made of non-stick metal that allows you to stack up those espresso cups and keep them toasty.  Using the on-screen functions, you can turn this feature on or off. 

Rolling Base 

The Primea is a little too heavy to be picking up and moving around on your counter.  Saeco took care of this by adding special rollers to the Primea. Getting into your espresso machine for cleaning and maintenance is important for the long life of your machine.  The rolling base makes it easy to access all sides of your machine to remove the water tank and open the side service door.
