The New Saeco Brewing System - SBS

One touch. All types of coffee....

An absolutely revolutionary innovation. SBS - Saeco Brewing System - Saeco's new patented international exclusive, is the avant-garde technology which has changed the world of coffee machines. This ingenious system allows you to make an infinite variety of coffee from just one automatic machine and at the mere twist of a knob. Whether it is an intense Italian ristretto (turn the knob to the right) or an American-style long coffee (turn the knob to the left) SBS satisfies all tastes giving a full flavor and a truly unique creamy finish. Moreover the coffee dose in the extraction chamber is fully exploited, thanks to the pressure, which remains constant throughout the extraction cycle. This way, all of the aroma is concentrated in the cup, offering you a superb creamy finish and a truly rich flavor.

Aqua Prima Water Filter
Softer water for a more robust coffee. With Aqua Prima the number of flavor-altering substances found in water are reduced, and any micro-particles and impurities are filtered. So you can enjoy the improved flavor and full aroma of your coffee. Aqua Prima also reduces the formation of lime scale in the machine so that it lasts even longer.

Fully Automatic Espresso & Coffee Brewing
Do you like to start your day with an espresso, but don't want to have to clean up the mess? Just press the button and the Incanto will automatically grind your coffee beans, and dispense freshly brewed, rich and flavorful coffee into your cup. This machine allows you to choose the volume and strength of your coffee or espresso by simply pressing buttons on the control panel. Then it cleans up and is ready for the next order in less than 30 seconds. Press the brew button once for a single espresso or coffee. Pushing the brew button twice quickly will put a double shot of espresso or coffee in your cup.

Utilize the enormous flexibility of the this machine's programming options by varying the water volume up to 7 ounces and the ability to use up to 9 grams of ground coffee per brewing cycle. By experimenting with the water volume and grams of ground coffee you can fine-tune your coffee and easily program these parameters into the memory.

Hot Water Dispenser & Rapid-SteamîTechnology
We're all steamed up about Saeco's patented Rapid-Steamî system! Turn the steam knob and have instant steam you want for cappuccinos or lattes. Other systems can have you waiting up to 45 seconds for the steam function to be ready but not with Rapid-Steamî; you'll have consistent steam for repeated drinks.

The special milk frothing tip delivers perfect foam every time for lattes or cappuccinos, even if you have never foamed milk before! The steam wand is located on the right front of the machine and it accommodates frothing pitchers up to 32 oz. If you need instant hot water for making tea, hot cocoa, or Americanos, the hot water feature is available at the press of a button.

2 Pre-Set Buttons for Cup Size Selection
Getting a great cup of your favorite coffee is as easy as one, two. Press one for a short and two for a café créme. Say the word, "enchanting", and by then your coffee will be ready for you.

Espresso, Café Créme or Regular Coffee
In addition to regular espresso, the Incanto you can adjust for the coarseness of the grind, allowing you to brew a Café Créme, often referred to as Swiss brewed coffee for the country that made it popular. For a Café Créme, (or crema coffee) a coarser grind is needed. This coarser grind allows for more water to pass through, resulting in a frothy layer of coffee that floats on the top: the crema. Aromatic and rich, it is not as intense a coffee as the espresso, but equally delicious. This feature also makes the Incanto a natural replacement for traditional coffee makers.

Special Pre-Ground Coffee Funnel
Need a change in your coffee routine? Just pour your chosen ground coffee into the special pre-ground coffee funnel, which bypasses the coffee beans in the bean hopper. This feature is really practical when there's someone in the crowd who wants a decaffeinated espresso and there are only espresso beans with caffeine in the machine. The ground coffee goes into the funnel and the machine takes care of the rest. When it's finished, it automatically resets back to the beans held in the machine. This feature makes the Incanto a great choice for home or office where lots of choice is desirable as well as convenient.

Coffee Strength Selection
Some days you need just a bigger kick to your coffee. The Incanto has a feature that will allow you to adjust the amount of coffee to be ground for each individual cup. Adjust it from 6 grams (- sign) to 9 grams (+ sign) to change the strength of the coffee. 7 grams of ground coffee is the usual amount for espresso, 9 grams is used for coffee.

Special Pre-infusion Brew System Cycle
Pre-infusion allows you to get maximum flavor from the brewing process. This advanced system takes the newly ground coffee beans from the internal coffee grinder and correctly tamps the coffee. Next comes "pre-infusion". The grounds are pre-soaked and then brewed before being discarded automatically into the internal dump box. The machine then resets itself for the next brewing cycle.

Additional Product Features, Maintenance & Information:

Built-in 68 Ounce Water Tank
The water reservoir can easily be refilled while it is still on the machine or by removing it with the easy-grip handle and filling it at the kitchen tap. The reservoir is made of clear ABS plastic so checking the water level is a breeze.

For Perfect Coffee Extraction - a Powerful Pump
Delivering a maximum pressure of 15 bars, this on board water pump pulls the maximum flavor from the coffee beans.

Coffee Bean Storage Hopper & Internal Waste Box
Keeping 1/4 pound of beans fresh and ready for grinding is the built in, lidded coffee bean hopper. When the coffee grounds are spent, the machine delivers them to the internal dump box; which can hold up to 15 expended coffee portions. ItÒs easy to remove and clean.

Stainless Steel Heating System
One of the reasons the Incanto is great for anything from small commercial settings to home or office use, is its durable 1200 watt stainless steel boiler. It provides for continuous use or a lot of servings over a short time period.

Adjustable Beverage Dispensing Nozzle & Cup Stacking Surface
This nozzle moves up or down to accept cup sizes up to 3.5" inches high and can be moved aside during the brewing process. There is also a cup-stacking surface so you can keep your favorite espresso cups close by.

Operational Lights and Indicators
The machine uses a system of lights and indicators to help you monitor the brewing process and signal when the machine needs to be re-supplied with water or coffee beans and when it needs to be cleaned.

Swivel Base
Getting into your espresso machine for cleaning and maintenance is important for the long life of your machine. The swivel base makes it easy to access all sides of your machine.

Cleaning & Maintenance of Components
In order to keep the inside of your machine healthy; your machine must be cleaned periodically. Scale buildup from naturally occurring minerals in your water can build up on sensitive components like the inside of the boiler, which left unchecked can cause considerable damage to the machine. By descaling your machine every two-three months, your machine will last for many trouble-free years. Saeco espresso machine cleaner can be purchased from us or by calling the support number in your user guide.

The machine will tell you when itÒs time to activate the self-clean system by when the light comes on. After adding our cleaner, just press the clean button. The machine will take it from there. Descaling and general cleaning is important even if you have a sophisticated water filter system, and especially if you use well water.

Used coffee grounds are collected in the internal dump box, which can hold up to 15 spent portions of coffee before it requires emptying. Wastewater left over from the rinsing cycles is stored in a removable drip tray. When the indicator light illuminates, simply pull out the tray, empty and reinsert in seconds. All components such as the used grounds container, drip tray, and water tank can be hand washed with regular soap and water.
