Inexpensive Pump Espresso

Date of Review:  Jul 2, 2006
The Bottom Line: If you insist on a pump espresso machine and are on a budget, this is a good choice.
Review: Other than ponying up a lot of lira for a state of the art pump espresso maker that costs at least 3 times as much, you can get a decent cup of espresso from the Via Veneto. While I am not in love with this machine, it suits our occasional espresso...

Great, if you're lucky

Date of Review:  Dec 30, 2000
The Bottom Line: *If* you get it at a marked down price, it's an excellent machine to have. Otherwise, save your pennies for something more high-end.
Review: Now, this review comes with a definite catch, so be sure to note it.

I think I had a situation that others could identify with. I enjoy espresso, but getting a machine presented a problem: the "steam toys" sold by companies like Mr. Coffee...

saeco via veneto

Date of Review:  Sep 13, 2008
The Bottom Line: I would buy this espresso machine again in a heartbeat.
Review: I got this machine for under 100$ including shipping and handeling. I thouroghly researched my options within my price range, I was willing to spend up to 150$. I read reviews for a few weeks and after repeatedly coming across favorable reviews I...

wonderful! wonderful!

Date of Review:  Mar 22, 2003
The Bottom Line: Only Italians know how to make coffee machines; the Saeco Via Veneto proves they even know how to make great cheap coffee machines.
Review: I have owned many espresso machines, mostly in the under-US$300 range, so my experience cannot be compared with those who have indulged in US$1,000 machines. I have frequently drunk cappuccino at restaurants with such machines, however. If you drink...

Excellent machine for not a lot of money

Date of Review:  Mar 30, 2001
The Bottom Line: If you're looking for an inexpensive yet good espresso machine that doesn't require barista training at a coffee shop in order to operate, this is it!
Review: I'd like to preface this by saying that I've been in the coffee industry for 4 years- 2 1/2 as a barista and 1 1/2 as the marketing director for a coffee website. I was actually hired for the latter job not because of my marketing skills, but...

Saeco, not bad for the money

Date of Review:  Aug 24, 2001
The Bottom Line: On a budget, and sick of paying for 5 dollar coffees? Want a durable workhorse this machine cant be beat. If you can afford more, get a Rancillo Rocky =)
Review: I replaced an old Krups machine with this Saeco back in 2001. I got the machine at a close out price on eBay. From what I understand there are 2 different versions of this machine, one with a gimmicky pressurized portafilter (to supposedly enhance...

Great machine for the money.

Date of Review:  Aug 11, 2005
Review: I have been looking for an inexpensive espresso machine that makes a decent espresso, and this machine is just that. Nice crema, nice steam, heats up pretty quick, and for $130 you just can't beat it. The Starbuck's Barista machine is $400 and I...
