The orange backlit display provides easy access to all the machine’s functions, including the option of brewing one or two cups of coffee, the amount of coffee per cup, pre-brewing, pre-grinding and an automatic rinsing and cleaning cycle.  Truly an international machine, the V’spresso can be programmed in one of eight different languages, English, Italian, Spanish, French, German, Japanese, Portuguese, or Dutch.

• Change the language
• Set coffee temperature from Medium, High, Maximum
• Set the Auto-Off timer from 15 minutes to 3 hours
• Coffee to be brewed during each brewing cycle - choose among three programmable buttons - small, medium, large cup of coffee
• Easily program the automatic risnsing and descaling function to keep your machine in tip top shape on the inside. This features prevents the buildup of limescale and other mineral deposits in the boiler and brewing system. 
• Monitor the number of coffee cups brewed
• Program settings to signal when the your machine needs to be cleaned
• On/Off control of the cup warmer, and more!

As described above, you can select the desired amount of espresso you wish to brew. Just press the single cup button to make a "short" espresso, the double cup button to make a "double" espresso, or the triple cup button to make a "triple" This feature allows you to press a button and walk away.  The machine will automatically stop when the correct amount of espresso is brewed.

This machine is not only capable of brewing espresso, but it can also produce a popular drink called cafe crème (also known as crema coffee).  This coffee is brewed in the same manner as espresso. However, where espresso is brewed relatively slow (about 15-20 seconds for 1.5 ounces), cafe crème is brewed at a faster rate. Espresso brews slower because the coffee grounds are required to be very fine which restricts the water flow through the grounds. This helps give espresso its intense flavor and strength.

Simply make a small adjustment to the coffee grinder to make the coffee grounds more course. This in turn will allow the water to flow more freely through the coffee grounds as required for cafe crème. The result is a wonderfully aromatic and flavor-rich coffee that is smooth and not as intense as espresso, and it will be topped with a layer of crema.  Many of our customers are enjoying the use of their machine for this purpose in addition to espresso. Cafe crème is a good replacement for most coffee makers (like a drip coffee maker), because in about 35 seconds, the machine will brew about 8 ounces of fresh pressure-brewed coffee without the mess. Another benefit is that this brewing method requires far less ground coffee per serving thus saving you money!  Many refer to cafe crème as Swiss brewed coffee as it is very popular among Swiss consumers.

This special feature allows the user to by-pass the coffee grinder and dump pre-ground coffee into the machine. This is great if you wish to use a coffee that differs from the beans already in the machine. For example, if there is someone in the crowd who wants a decaffeinated espresso but there is only caffeinated espresso beans in the machine, simply pour pre-ground decaffeinated coffee into a special funnel and the machine will do the rest! After brewing the pre-ground coffee the machine will reset itself to use the beans in the machine. You can use any type of pre-ground coffee for this procedure.

This allows you to choose from 5 to 9 grams for each of the three coffee amount presets. This allows you to determine the strength of the coffee despite the size of the cup for any kind of coffee - from small to large cups. 

The boiler is powered by 1250 watts allowing for continuous use for large numbers of servings in short periods of time making the V'Spresso ideal for home, office, or small commercial settings.

Rapid-Steam® Technology and Hot Water Dispenser 

The V'Spresso features Saeco's patented Rapid-Steam® system, so there is almost no wait time to get ample steaming ability for building a first rate cappuccino or latte beverage.  Where non- Rapid-Steam® super autos leave you waiting 45 seconds or longer for the steam pressure to build up, the V'Spresso has you ready to go in 10 seconds or less. The V'Spresso boiler and Rapid-Steam® system delivers ample, long running steam for building multiple drinks. The optional milk froth-aider tip supplied with the machine is specially designed to insure virtually perfect foam for cappuccino or lattes, even if you are a novice. The steam wand is located on the right front of the machine on a swivel joint, which allows you to place either a 12 oz. or 20 oz. frothing pitcher underneath. 

The V'Spresso provides instant hot water through the steam wand at the turn of a knob for making other hot beverages, including tea, hot chocolate, and Americanos.

The on board pressure pump produces a maximum pressure of 15 bars.

The V'Spresso uses an advanced automatic brew system. As the heart of the automatic espresso machine it excepts freshly ground coffee from the built-in coffee grinder. It tamps the coffee perfectly, pre-soaks the grounds with a special "pre-infusion" step, brews the coffee, and then dumps the used coffee grounds into the internal dump box. Once the brewing cycle has been completed, it resets itself for the next cup of coffee.

"Conical" burr grinding mechanisms are heavy duty and are usually found on more expensive coffee grinders. It consists of a "cone" shaped grinding wheel that turns slowly to precisely grind the beans consistently without burning them (common on low cost burr grinders). The grinding wheel is made of tempered heavy duty steel to provide a long service life and resists small pebbles that may be hiding in the coffee beans. Maintenance is easy. Little or no service will be needed.

The V’spresso’s water reservoir can easily be refilled while it is still on the machine or by removing it with the easy-grip handle and filling it at the kitchen tap.  The reservoir is made of clear ABS plastic so checking the water level is a breeze. When the water runs low, the digital display will remind you to refill the water reservoir.

The built-in coffee bean hopper holds over a ½ pound of coffee beans. The hopper has a lid to help keep the coffee beans fresh. 

The internal dump box catches all of the spent coffee grounds left over from the brewing process. Its large capacity will hold up to 20 spent coffee portions. It removes for disposal and easy cleaning.

Small 2 oz. espresso cups up to large coffee cups 4.25" in height can easily fit under the adjustable coffee dispensing nozzle. It moves up or down to accept many cup sizes and can be moved during the brewing process.

All the controls are located in one convenient place on the front of the machine. They are laid out to be easy to understand and use.

An indicator located on the drip tray tells you when the drip tray is full and needs to be emptied.

A convenient cup stacking surface is located on top of the machine made of non-stick metal. The heating surface can be controlled allowing you to turn it on or off. Keeping your espresso cups warm is essential for excellent espresso!

The bottom of the machine is equipped with a swivel base that allows you to turn the machine for easy access to the sides and back. This makes cleaning and service easier.

The V'Spresso requires no special services to be added for operation such as plumbing for water or waste, or special electrical outlets.

This machine includes FREE coffee, cleaning brush for the coffee grinder, a brew group maintenance tool, and detailed instructions on how to get the most out of your machine.
