Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Saeco 10-Cup Automatic Drip Coffee Maker with Thermal Carafe and Burr Grinder, Stainless Steel
Customer Review: Just got this puppy...
Summary: 2 Stars
We'd ordered this item well before the holidays based on a lot of research. We often roast our own beans, but are also a bit lazy!!!
Amazon couldn't ship on time (not their fault), but we selected the option to have it shipped when available. It came a few days ago, about 2+ months after the initial estimated ship by the manufacturer. Just used our French press while we waited.
Anyway, the machine is attractive, a little bigger than I anticipated, and you definitely need to read the instructions, but once you have, you're good to go. Makes a decent cup of coffee and does keep it hottish for several hours.
Cons, which may not be cons when we're more familiar with the machine...
1. Turning the lid to the pour position is awkward and pouring is slow.
2. Putting the lid on is awkward.
3. Water reservoir has a small opening, so my usual measuring cup can splash water on the counter. Pouring from the kettle is better, but considering #'s 1 and 2...
4. A blue led stays on while the machine is plugged in. I would normally unplug it for this reason, but then the clock needs to be reset each time. Not really a "green" feature.
5. Seems like the machine is a bit overpriced, but it is a Saeco, and our opinion may change with time.
Will write an update if our mind is changed on any of the above.
*Please see our follow-up...
OK, the verdict is in. Do not buy this until the carafe is fixed. Very poor design. We have been able to finesse an old Mr. Coffee thermal carafe in with good results... fine if the machine was $79, but not at $179!

Description of Saeco 10-Cup Automatic Drip Coffee Maker with Thermal Carafe and Burr Grinder, Stainless Steel
The sleek stainless steel design of the Saeco 10-cup thermal coffee maker adds a modern and stylish finish that adapts to any kitchen décor. The sturdy conical burr grinder can grind up to 8.5 oz. of whole beans at the touch of a button. The sealed lid around the bean hopper ensures freshness and protects the machine from the atmosphere. The grind setting can be adjusted using 8 different settings, from fine to coarse. With the large steam ventilation area and easy clean window it allows viewing of the coffee grounds at all times to prevent clogging. The advanced control panel features a large blue backlit LCD and displays the many functions and settings of the machine. Cup selector, aroma selector, 24-hour programmable timer, grinder off option and cleaning indicator light are all clearly displayed. Use the cup selector to brew your coffee specifically to the exact quantity you want to ensure freshness and aroma no matter how many cups brewed. The aroma selector lets you choose the strength of the coffee brewed from mild, medium or strong. If you choose to use pre-ground coffee; simply turn the grinder off using the grind off option and use the filter basket instead. When it is time for the machine to be cleaned a reminder icon will appear letting you know when descaling needs to be preformed.Drip Coffee Machines
