The Bottom Line on the Royal Coffee Bar
Below is a breakdown of the individual features of the Saeco Royal Coffee Bar, but this is a brief overview of the product as a whole. This unit is one of the best units that Saeco produces, it can be a little complicated for the beginning barista but once you figure out all the features you will never look back. Every coffee drink that you can imagine can be created with this unit, and with the built in milk frother and steamer the process is even easier. Since this machine has the bean hopper and water tank on top side by side refilling them is very easy, no need to remove a drawer or worry about spilling water to and from the sink, just pour it right in. If you are a true coffee buff that has a large espresso, cappuccino, and latté loving family or if you have a small office or offer espresso at your cafe then this is the unit for you. Now if you have a small family, or only enjoy espresso a few times per week then this unit is overkill. I would suggest a semiautomatic unit for 1-2 people, or an automatic espresso maker for 3-6 people.
Push Button Technology
The Saeco Royal Coffee Bar will automatically grind the right amount of coffee, tamp, brew and dispense the used grounds into an internal dregdrawer, all at the push of a button.
Saeco Easy Clean System
The heart of the The Royal Coffee Bar Espresso Maker is the patented removable brew group. This device allows the machine to tamp, brew and dispense the coffee in one cycle. The brew group 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 the unique advantages that has made Saeco the world leader in super automatic espresso machines.
Rapid Steam
Rapid Steam® technology reduces the normal waiting time between brewing coffee and steam output to just a few seconds. The Royal Coffee Bar Coffee Center has a separate heat exchange for steam, which allows it to provide fast and continuous steam pressure for frothing milk within seconds.
Steam / Hot Water Wand
The Saeco Royal Coffee Bar has a steam / hot water wand to froth milk for cappuccinos and lattes, and to dispense hot water for Americanos, tea, instant coffee, hot chocolate and other drinks.
Cappuccinatore Steaming Attachment
In addition to the steam wand, the Saeco Royal Coffee Bar has a Cappuccinatore, a programmable, built-in, automatic milk-frothing device. Simply press the Cappuccinatore button and the Saeco Royal Coffee Bar will draw milk from a separate milk container. This device will froth or steam the milk, then dispense it directly into your cup to make a cappuccino or latté.
LCD Display
The LCD display allows you to operate the following features:
• Automatic Rinsing Cycle
• Water Hardness Test: This feature allows the user to program the machine to determine when it is the proper time to descale, according to the water hardness
• Brew Temperature Settings: The Royal Coffee Bar has the ability to set each of the three brew buttons to their own temperature: Maximum, High, Medium, Low, or Minimum
• 9 language options
• Automatic Descaling Cycle: Pour the descaling solution into the water tank and let the machine do the rest.
• Energy Saving Timer
• Total Servings Counter
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 6to 9 grams of ground beans per brewing cycle, which affects the strength of the espresso from mild to strong.
Pump System
The Saeco Royal Coffee Bar features a powerful pump, rated at 15 bars (217.6 psi) of pressure. Authentic Italian coffee requires this steady pressure to produce a premium extraction.
Programmable Beverage Volume
The Royal Coffee Bar Espresso Machine is designed with 3 programmable brew buttons. To program, simply push and hold one of the brew buttons until the desired amount of espresso is reached. By releasing the button at the desired quantity, the Royal Coffee Bar will program the selected button to brew that precise amount each time it is pushed.
Conical Burr Grinder
The Saeco Royal Coffee Bar has a built in conical burr grinder with 8 different grind settings (0 fine to 8 coarse), which will allow you to adjust the strength of the coffee. Each burr is made of high quality tempered steel, which is meant to last the lifetime of the machine, with little maintenance required.
Pre-Ground Bypass Doser
The pre-ground bypass doser allows you to use pre-ground decaffeinated or flavored coffee without emptying the beans in the grinder.
Adjustable Cup Dispensing Head
The dual spout dispensing head can easily be raised or lowered according to the cup size. The Saeco Royal Coffee Bar Espresso Maker can accommodate espresso cups (4 oz.) or coffee mugs (8 oz.).
Removable Water Tank
The Saeco Royal Coffee Bar is easy to refill with an 82 oz. removable water tank. The tank is made of clear ABS plastic, so the water level can be viewed at any time. When the tank runs out of water, the machine will stop brewing and the LCD display will prompt the user to refill the tank.
Internal Dreg Drawer
The internal dreg drawer is where the Royal Coffee Bar Espresso Machine deposits the coffee after the brewing process. Once full, the LCD display will show that it needs to be emptied. Remove the drawer, empty contents, rinse and replace the container into the machine. Once these steps are completed the machine is ready to brew again.
Bon Temp Heating Surface
Stack several porcelain or ceramic cups on this large and convenient heating surface. The Bon Temp heating surface keeps your cups at an optimal temperature while you are preparing your favorite coffee. A cold cup can often hinder the full flavor and aroma of your fresh coffee or espresso.
Slide-Out Drip Tray
A single drawer comes out 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.)
Swivel Base
A swivel base has been placed on the bottom of the Saeco Royal Coffee Bar to simplify general maintenance and cleaning. The entire machine will rotate from side to side with a light push for easy accessibility of all the components.
Plumbed Water Connector
An optional plumbing connector is available for a continuous water supply so there is no need to stop or restart a coffee brew or espresso shot if your machine runs out of water.
Included Accessories
Cleaning Brush, Pre-Ground Bypass Doser Scoop, Brew Group Key, Cappuccinatore Priming Pump, Water Test Strip, User Manual, Quick Start Guide, and an Instructional Manual are all included with the Saeco Royal Coffee Bar.
