Saeco Via Venezia Espresso Machine


Condition:

Works great. Light scuffs and scratches. See photos for full details.


Description:

An excellent home-grade self-tamping espresso machine – consistently ranked among the absolute best entry-level espresso machines on the market for its price range. Especially good for novice level baristas who want to make a serious shot of espresso, cappuccinos, lattes, flat whites etc. in the comfort of their own home (and save money by not buying expensive coffee at cafes!). This machine is getting harder to track down these days! It's in 100% perfect working condition and ready to plug in and use immediately. No dents, cracks, or seriously noticeable scratches to the machine. Please see all photos for details. This machine has A LOT of life in it still! This machine is great and has been well taken care of. It makes great shots with lots of flexibility in terms of quantity. You can cut it off early for a 'ristretto' or pull a 'lungo' shot if you want. Very gently used, features all the original components, as pictured.


Features:

Simple Brewing: Fill the pressurized portafilter to level with finely ground espresso and twist the portafilter onto the brew head. Press the brew button to initiate brewing and then press again to stop.

Frothing Tip For Perfect Foam: Like magic, your Via Venezia steaming wand will make beautiful foam just by slipping on the panarello frothing tip. Mounted on a swivel joint, the wand conveniently swings aside and clean up is a snap.

Don't Let the Grind Get You Down: The right pressure used to pack a portafilter makes a huge difference in the quality of espresso produced. The Via Venezia's heavy-duty pressurized portafilter does away with that concern by pressurizing the brewing chamber to improve extraction, promoting the perfect brewing conditions.

Big Water Tank: The 98 ounce water reservoir is prefect for home entertaining. You can brew a number of espressos and then refill the reservoir right where it's at, even if it is still brewing. Simple to remove, the reservoir can also be carried to a faucet.

Powerful Pump: The Saeco Via Venezia boasts a powerful vibratory pump rated at 15 BAR of pressure, the same pump found on top of the line Saeco espresso machines to pull maximum flavor from the coffee beans.

Removable Cup Tray, Drip Pan & Cup Warming Shelf: Removable cup tray and plastic drip pans make clean up simple. The drip pan can be removed during brewing to provide additional clearance for taller cups. The passive cup warmer keeps your mug toasty.

Safe, Rapid Recovery Boiler: A large stainless steel, 950-watt quick recovery boiler has burnout protection-- a thermal fuse to shut down the heating element should the machine run dry during operation.
