Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Starbucks Sirena Espresso Machine, Stainless and Black
Customer Review: Good machine for home users
Summary: 3 Stars
I received this machine for my birthday in May 08. I love the looks and the quality is great. We use it several times a day and it is still working great. With good quality coffee grounds, it pulls a great shot with a good head of crema. (I have found it to work best on the double setting and with the double amount of grinds.) The steam wand has an adapter end that is meant to automatically incorporate air for frothing. It works well with a full cups worth of cold cows milk and a cold frothing pitcher. I, however, prefer to use about a half cup of unsweetened soy milk and prefer lots of foam, which this machine only sporadically can deliver. (Hunmidity, barometric pressure, and stars must be perfectly aligned.) I much prefer the normal steam wands where one can control the amount of air being incorporated for more or less foam as desired and wish Saeco offered them as a replacement. This is not a problem unique to Saeco as less and less home machines come with the regular steam wands. I guess most home users aren't expected to be able to learn to froth milk.
My only real dissappointment with this machine, which knocked my rating down a star, has been trying to get parts replaced. I lost the support peg down the sink when cleanng the machine and of course it cannot be purchased from Starbucks; it must be purchased from Saeco. The part has been out of stock at Saeco for at least five months. They have been out of stock on the rubber pressure gasket the entire time as well.
Eventually the rubber gasket will wear out and need replaced and who knows when or for how long Saeco will stock it. So keep that in mind if you decide to purchase this machine. The machine can be used without the gasket and peg (they are a team, so don't try to use one without the other - it overruns and splatters everywhere.) I am now using my machine without them and tamping the grounds myself.
