unique features
Ceramic grinder
Unlike conventional super-automatic espresso machines with a steel grinder, all Saeco machines use a robust, 100% ceramic grinder to adjust the grind for maximum flavour. A fine-grind for a full-bodied espresso or a coarser grind for a lighter-tasting coffee. There are 5 settings to play with and thanks to the ceramic material – no more burnt coffee taste
01:0AquaClean water filter
Make up to 5,000 cups* without having to descale thanks to this advanced filter which purifies the water using 3 unique technology features. The micro-porous filter prevents impurities from contaminating the water; ion-exchange technology removes calcium from the water before it enters your coffee machine; and the patented flow means water takes a longer path before entering your super-automatic espresso machine, ensuring a deeper purification. For hassle-free, fine-tasting coffee, simply replace the filter every 3 months.
* Based on 0.1 liter cups and 8 filter replacements as indicated by the machine
Your favorite coffee goes social
With more and more coffee lovers sharing their coffee creations across social media platforms such as Pinterest and Instagram, Saeco GranBaristo Avanti invites you to get social, too. In addition to sharing recipes and images of your favorite coffee drink with friends, GranBaristo Avanti is also a knowledge hub. If you’re interested in exploring the world of coffee, learning how to experiment with different beans or even trying out brand new coffee recipes, GranBaristo Avanti has it all. Furthermore, the machine has a helpful maintenance portal with handy tips and tricks to answer your questions and to ensure that keeping your machine in tip-top shape is easier than ever before.
Pre-brewing system
Briefly moistening the coffee beans before brewing unlocks otherwise hidden textures and allows the full aromas to unfold – a well-known barista trick. Unlike conventional espresso machines with a pre-brewing function, Saeco technology allows you to adjust the pre-brewing time yourself for a more intense taste
