The Saeco Talea ring has all the features you would expect from a top of the line bean to cup espresso machine. Wrapped in sleek titanium, silver and chrome styling and with an LCD display and a touch ring control system (are you familiar with an Ipod?) the Talea Ring gives you all the coffees you want with the touch of a finger and the turn of a dial. The drip tray operates by the touch lift system moving up and down at the touch of a finger to fit your cup size perfectly. The grinder uses the latest ceramic technology providing an inert grinder which gives a more uniform grind and less coffee residue at the bottom of the cup. The removable water tank takes the Aqua Prima water filter which just plugs in to the base of the tank reducing lime scale and giving the quality of filtered water while filling the tank from the tap. The Saeco Brewing system allows an infinite variety of coffee from Ristretto to Long coffee at the turn of a single dial keeping the brew pressure constant through the entire cycle giving a full flavour and aroma and a unique creamy finish. Attach the optional Milk Island for the preparation of creamy foam in a matter of seconds. The Pannerello frother makes traditional frothing easy and also provides hot water for other drinks and thanks to the twin boiler steam is always available in just a few seconds.
Additional details- Twin boiler - This allows the machine to switch immediately from frothing milk (which requires a high boiler temperature) to making espresso (at a lower boiler temperature) without waiting for the machine to heat up or cool down.
- Milk Island capable. The Saeco Milk Island attaches to the base of the machine and draws steam into the removable glass carafe creating perfect froth with the turn of a dial.
