Saeco - Talea Giro Plus Fully Automatic Espresso Machine

Features & Benefits:

• Now enjoy the ease of frothing in the Milk Island with any Talea Machine. Whether you order Talea Touch, Talea Ring Plus or Talea Giro, it will include a 0.8L Milk Island. This larger, plastic carafe froths twice as much milk as the 0.4L Milk Island and includes a selector dial for frothed or steamed milk.
• One-Touch Technology: The Talea Giro will automatically grind the right amount of coffee, tamp, brew and dispense the used grounds into an internal dregdrawer, all at the touch of an icon.

• Saeco Easy Clean System: The heart of the Taleo Giro is the patented removable brew group. This device allows the machine to tamp, brew and dispense the coffee in one cycle. The brewgroup can be removed at the push of a button, for convenient rinsing and chemical-free cleaning. This brew group is exclusive proprietary Saeco technology and one of theunique advantages that has made Saeco the world leader in automatic espresso machines. Also features an automatic descaling and pre-ground bypass doser.

• Giro Interface: The Giro Interface is a new innovation available for the Talea Giro. Thanks to its coffee control dial and large buttons, you can prepare coffee and your favorite drinks with minimal effort, in just a few minutes. Alert lights to the left of the dial give clear, instant details for each function.

• Milk Island: This unique and ingenious invention by Saeco is exclusively designed for the new Talea line of automatic machines. The Milk Island sits conveniently next to the machine, and draws steam from the machine into the Cappuccinatore. Easy to operate and maintain, the Milk Island can be cleaned with soap and water, or in the dishwasher.

• SBS Technology: An absolutely revolutionary innovation. Saeco Brewing System (SBS) allows you to make an infinite variety of coffee drinks from just one machine at the twist of a dial. Choose from the strongest ristretto shot with a thick crema to a milder coffee with less crema. The SBS dial adjusts the amount of pressure in the brewing chamber, so you can control the strength and extraction for each cup brewed.

• Rapid Steam®: Rapid Steam® technology reduces the normal waiting time between brewing coffee and steam output to just a few seconds. The Talea Giro has a separate heat exchange for steam, which allows it to provide fast and continuous steam pressure for frothing milk within seconds.

• Pannarello Wand: The Talea Giro has a Pannarello steam / hot water wand to froth milk for cappuccinos and lattes, and to dispense hot water for Americanos, tea, hot chocolate and other drinks.

• Ceramic Disc Grinder: The ceramic grinder is Saeco’s most recent innovation, available in the Talea line of coffee machines. The ceramic grinder also provides an even grind, allowing perfect dosing and blending, giving you more control over the density and body of your coffee. Because ceramic is inert it will not absorb the flavor of the coffee overtime, it is much more durable, and grinds considerably quieter.

• Adjustable Brew Settings The Talea Giro is is designed with a large dial to change the amount of coffee brewed each time. With each drink, you can adjust the quantity of espresso dispensed, as well as the amount of ground coffee used.

• Saeco Aroma System: Taste the full aroma of coffee beans in every cup. To optimize the coffee drinking experience, a special programmed step injects a small amount of hot water into the freshly ground coffee to start a pre-brewing process. This is done just before the actual brew cycle commences in order to extract the best aromas and flavors from the grounds.

• Saeco OptiDose: The OptiDose system allows the user to adjust the amount of coffee that is ground for each individual cup. It adjusts from 7 to 10.5 grams of ground beans per brewing cycle, which affects the strength of the extracted espresso.

• Touch Lift Technology: The manual adjustable drip tray can be easily raised or lowered allowing different cup sizes. Espresso cups or glasses can easily be accommodated. It is also removable for easy cleaning. No matter what mood you’re in, we can fit the mug that goes with it.

• Cup Warming Surface: Stack several porcelain or ceramic cups on this large and convenient heating surface. The cup warming surface keeps your cups and espresso at an optimal temperature while enhancing the full flavors and aromas extracted from the bean.

• Aqua Prima Water Filter: With the Aqua Prima filter the number of flavor-altering substances found in your water is greatly reduced. Impurities are filtered out of your water, leaving you to enjoy the improved flavor and full aroma of your coffee.

• Internal Dregdrawer: The internal dregdrawer is where the Talea Giro deposits the coffee after the brewing process. Once full, the alert light will show that it needs to be emptied. Remove the dregdrawer, empty contents, rinse and replace the container into the machine. Once these steps are completed the machine is ready to brew again.

• Removable Drip Tray: A single tray can be removed from the front of the machine containing the cup tray and drip pan. Made of durable ABS plastic, it cleans easily in soap and water. (Not dishwasher safe.)

• Sliding Wheel Base:Small wheels have been placed on the base of the machine to simplify general maintenance and cleaning. The entire machine will rotate with a light push for easy accessibility of all the components.
