This machine encapsulates Saeco’s commitment to delivering an exceptional coffee experience, combining advanced technologies with user-friendly features.

One of the standout attributes of the CAP001/A is its built-in ceramic grinder, which offers precise grinding for a maximum flavor extraction.

With the AquaClean filter, users can enjoy up to 5,000 cups of coffee without worrying about limescale buildup, thereby extending the life of the machine and maintaining its performance.

The CAP001/A also showcases an automatic milk frother, which delivers perfectly frothed milk for a creamy texture, ideal for cappuccinos and macchiatos. The foaming capacity can be adjusted to suit personal preferences, making it versatile for different drinks.

Cleaning and maintenance are made easy with the removable brew group and drip tray, allowing for quick access for rinsing and drying. The coffee maker also has a sleek, modern design that will complement any kitchen décor, with a compact build that does not occupy much counter space.
