Saeco Adapting System

Coffee is a natural product and its characteristics may
change according to its origin, blend and roast. The
Saeco coffee machine is equipped with a self-adjusting
system that allows the use of all types of coffee beans
available on the market (not including fl avored or car-
melized).
• The machine automatically adjusts itself in order to
optimize the extraction of the coffee, ensuring perfect
compression of the beans to obtain a creamy espresso
coffee that will release all the aromas, regardless of
the type of coffee used.
• The optimization process is a learning process that
requires the brewing of a certain number of coffees
to allow the machine to adjust the compactness of the
ground coffee.
• Attention should be given to special blends, which
require grinder adjustments in order to optimize the
extraction of the coffee (see section 5.2).
