The Saeco Primea Touch Plus is certainly in a class of its own. For starters, the Primea Touch Plus features the first-ever colorized touch screen panel featuring a variety of programmed and programmable drink choices. The Saeco Primea Touch Plus also sports a fully automated integrated milk frothing system. When you choose a latte, latte macchiato, or a cappuccino from the beverage menu, the Primea will automatically combine frothed milk and espresso from the dual function dispensing spouts right into your cup.

With the advanced features of the Primea Touch Plus you can: follow prompts on the digital message screen, program espresso strength and ounces to be brewed per cup, switch between espresso or coffee options instantly, change water temperature, use pre-ground coffee in addition to whole coffee beans, adjust the built-in coffee grinder for fine tuning, program the special pre-brew coffee conditioning system, view messages in multiple languages, view the cup counter, program the energy saving mode and timer, adjust the water hardness setting, dispense hot water for tea or hot chocolate, and more. The Saeco Primea Touch Plus remembers all of the settings you program, including the grind setting.

Detailed Product Features of Primea Touch Plus:

Unique Integrated Milk Frothing System
At the heart of the one touch milk frothing system lays the removable, integrated 12 ounce milk container. Simply fill the container with milk and insert it into the left side of the machine. When you choose a milk based drink from the menu options, the Primea Touch Plus will automatically draw milk from the container and perfectly steam and froth it. While this is happening, the machine will also be preparing the coffee. Both the milk and the coffee will automatically dispense right into your cup. If you want to make a cafe mocha, feel free to use chocolate milk in the container. And of course, the Saeco Primea Touch Plus will froth the chocolate milk for perfect hot chocolate. The milk container can be stored in the refrigerator when not in use.

Pre-Ground Coffee Option
With the Primea Touch Plus, whole coffee beans are not your only choice. The pre-ground coffee option allows you to pour pre-ground coffee into a funnel that is accessed by lifting a small lid on top of the machine. Select the "pre-ground" option using the menu options, then pour the pre-ground coffee of your choice into the machine. Press the brew button and you’re done. After making a cup of coffee with the pre-ground option, the machine automatically resets back to whole bean.

Special Pre-infusion Brew System Cycle
Pre-infusion allows you to get maximum flavor from the brewing process. This advanced system takes the newly ground coffee beans from the internal coffee grinder and correctly tamps the coffee. Next comes “pre-infusion.” To optimize the flavor extraction, a special step injects a little hot water into the freshly ground coffee. This is done just before the actual brew cycle commences. The grounds are pre-soaked and then brewed before being discarded automatically into the internal dump box. The machine then resets itself for the next brewing cycle. The Saeco Primea offers programming options for the pre-infusion cycle and infusion time.

The Saeco Brewing System - SBS
The Saeco Primea Touch Plus features SBS – Saeco Brewing System. SBS allows you to make an infinite variety of coffees from just one machine and at the mere twist of a knob. Whether it is an intense Italian ristretto (turn the knob to the right) or an American-style long coffee (turn the knob to the left) SBS satisfies all tastes.

Ceramic Coffee Grinder
The ceramic grinder is Saeco's most recent innovation. After careful research, Saeco chose this material to put an end to grinding with metal components. Indeed ceramic is inert, and thus ensures the best results without altering the flavor of coffee. The new ceramic grinder provides a more consistent grind, less noise and less coffee residue left in the cup.

Aqua Prima Water Filter
With the Aqua Prima Water Filter, the number of flavor-altering substances and impurities are reduced. Enjoy the improved flavor and full aroma of your coffee.

Built-in 68 Ounce Water Tank
The water reservoir can easily be refilled while it is still on or off the machine. The reservoir is made of clear ABS plastic so checking the water level is a breeze.

For Perfect Coffee Extraction - a Powerful Pump
The Saeco Primea Touch Plus features a powerful pump capable of delivering a maximum of 15 bars of pressure. You’ll have all the pressure necessary for making true Italian espresso.

Coffee Bean Storage Hopper & Internal Waste Box
The built-in lidded coffee bean hopper holds ½ lbs. of whole coffee beans. When the coffee grounds are spent, the Primea Touch Plus delivers them to the internal dump box which can hold up to 15 expended coffee portions. It’s easy to remove and clean.

Stainless Steel Heating System
The durable stainless steel boiler makes the Saeco Primea Primea Touch Plus great for anything from small commercial settings to home or office use. It provides for continuous use or a lot of servings over a short time period.

Adjustable Drip Tray
The Primea Touch Plus has an automated, adjustable-height drip tray that raises or lowers the cups below the coffee dispensing spouts. By pressing the button on the drip tray either up or down, a motor will automatically raise or lower the tray to the desired height.

Heated Cup Stacking Surface
Located on the top of this machine is a heated surface made of non-stick metal. This surface is ideal for keeping your espresso cups toasty. Using the on-screen functions, you can turn this feature on or off.

Rolling Base
The Primea Touch Plus has a rolling base that makes it easy to access all sides of your machine. No need to risk scratching your countertops.

Cleaning & Maintenance of Components
Automated Cleaning System - Milk
The Saeco Primea makes it easy to clean the milk frothing system. After each use, the machine will prompt you to rinse the system. This process is automated and simply entails using the spare milk container that comes with machine. Fill it with water, place it in the machine and choose the milk rinsing cycle from the menu. The machine will draw the water through the milk tubes and rinse the left over milk. Depending on the amount of usage, the machine will prompt you to perform a more thorough cleaning with milk detergent about every 2 weeks. This procedure is similar to the daily rinse cycles, but you will be using the specially formulated milk cleaner.
It may sound complicated to maintain the milk system, but it’s not. The amount of time this system saves in frothing far outweighs the time it takes to clean it.
Keeping the Rest of the Machine Healthy

In order to keep the inside of an espresso machine healthy, the machine must be cleaned periodically. Scale buildup from naturally occurring minerals in your water can build up on sensitive components like the inside of the boiler. When left unchecked, this build up can cause considerable damage to the machine. By descaling your Primea Touch Plus every two-three months, your machine will last for many trouble-free years. Saeco espresso machine cleaner can be purchased by calling the support number in your user guide.

The machine will tell you when it’s time to activate the self-clean system. After adding the cleaner, just press the clean button. The machine takes it from there. Descaling and general cleaning is important even if you have a sophisticated water filter system, and especially if you use well water.

Other areas of the machine are easy to clean too. Used coffee grounds are collected in the internal dump box, which can hold up to 15 spent portions of coffee before it requires emptying. Wastewater left over from the rinsing cycles is stored in a removable drip tray. When the indicator light illuminates, simply pull out the tray, empty and reinsert in seconds. All components such as the used grounds container, drip tray, and water tank can be hand washed with regular soap and water.

Plug it in and the Saeco Primea Touch Plus is ready to go. No special plumbing or special electrical outlets are required. Detailed instructions on the optimum care and operation of your machine are included with the purchase.
