Features The Rapid Steam System!
The Saeco Vienna de Luxe de
Luxe is an automatic espresso/cappuccino machine that combines top quality
with a low price. The Vienna de Luxe de Luxe is virtually the same model
as the Vienna de Luxe SuperAutomatica but with new design features. It
offers a more stylish housing, new silver finish, and a swivel base that
allows you to turn the machine to easily reach the sides and back of the
unit. This machine features a simple control panel with only three buttons
and one dial. One button is for power, one for coffee, and one for steam.
It makes all of you
favorite coffee house beverages like mochas, lattes, cappuccinos, and
espresso. The Vienna de Luxe is in the class of machines that,
with the touch of one button will grind your coffee beans on the spot, and
then dispense perfect espresso and coffee within seconds without the mess
or fuss. Super automatics represent some of the most cutting edge
technologies in espresso preparation today, and the Vienna de Luxe features many of these excellent technologies. The addition of Saeco
Rapid-Steam® system speeds you through steaming functions for lattes,
mochas, and cappuccino.

East to Use Controls
The control panel is laid out to be simple and easy to use. It has three
buttons and a dial. The first button on the left is the main power
control. The second button starts the brewing cycle, and if pushed twice
in quick succession will double the volume of espresso or coffee that you
have programmed with the volume dial. Push the third button to dispense
instant hot water from the steam wand.
The dial located below the buttons
is for adjusting the volume of water the machine will use for each brewing
cycle. Turn the dial clockwise to increase the volume for larger cups of
espresso/coffee, turn it counter-clockwise to decrease the volume. Once
you find the brew volume you like, every time you press the corresponding
brew button, the machine will deliver the exact preset volume of liquid.
The steam control knob (not shown) located on the right side of the
machine releases steam for preparing lattes or cappuccinos at any time
while the machine is powered up and at operating temperature. |
Make a Single or Double, Your
Choice
The Vienna de Luxe offers a variety of ways to brew espresso or coffee.
Press the button once to brew a single shot. Press it twice to brew a
double. Simply dial the volume knob to brew a larger (or smaller) volume.
The Vienna de Luxe is not a one trick pony - it gives enough variety for a
wide range of brew choices. The dial volume control can allow up to 8
ounces to be brewed in one session. |

Crema Coffee Center
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 5 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.

Rapid-Steam®
Technology and Hot Water Dispenser
The Vienna de Luxe 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. Like the de Luxe
model, the entry-level Vienna Superautomatica does not have this
feature. Where non-
Rapid-Steam® super autos leave you waiting 45 seconds or longer for the
steam pressure to build up, the Vienna de Luxe has you ready to go in 10
seconds or less. The de Luxe's 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 Vienna de Luxe
provides instant hot water through the steam wand at the press of a
button and the turn of a knob for making other hot beverages, including
tea, hot chocolate, and Americanos.

Advanced Brew Group
The Vienna de Luxe uses an advanced
automatic brewing system. Acting as the "heart" of the super-
automatic espresso machine, it accepts freshly ground coffee from the
built-in coffee grinder. It tamps the coffee perfectly, pre-soaks the
grounds with a special "pre-infusion" step (described below),
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. The brew group is removable so cleaning and
maintenance can be done. |
|
Pre-Infusion System
The two-step pre-infusion cycle moistens and conditions the ground
coffee, which maximizes flavor extraction to increase the thick crema on
your espresso. The Vienna de Luxe accomplishes this by infusing (or
presoaking) the fresh coffee grounds with a dash of hot water for 2
seconds. Thereafter, it completes the brewing process by infusing the
remainder of the predetermined water through the coffee grounds. The
result is a superior cup of espresso or coffee.
|
Superior Quality Grinder Built
In
Super automatic espresso machines feature a built in grinder, and don't
let the Vienna de Luxe's low price tag make you think they skimped in this
area - this machine features a high quality conical burr
grinder with a large, hardened temper steel cutting surface that delivers
consistent, even and fine grinding, factors needed for producing a
superior espresso. The grinder's fineness level is adjustable, allowing
for easy switching between grinding for espresso (finer grind) and café
crème (coarser grind). The machine's bean hopper holds 12 ounces of beans
and features a tight-fitting lid to help keep your beans fresh. |
Opti-Dose System
This system allows you to adjust the amount of ground coffee the grinder
dispenses into the brew system for each cup of coffee. You may set the
coffee dosage between 6 and 9 grams. The average dose of ground coffee to
make a shot of espresso is 7 grams. When you push the coffee brew button
the grinder will automatically begin grinding the amount of grams you have
specified (from 6 - 9 grams), and then places the ground coffee into the
brew group before brewing begins. Being able to adjust the dosage allows
you to make a stronger or weaker espresso (or cup of coffee) without
altering the amount of water. |
Removable Water
Reservoir
The machine features a 57ounce capacity water reservoir that can be
refilled while the machine is operating, or removed for easy filling at
the water tap. It even includes an easy-grip handle for convenient
handling. The tinted, see through ABS plastic gives you an easy indicator
of the amount of water left in the machine. |
Adjustable Brew Nozzle
The Vienna de Luxe can easily adjust between a small 2 oz. espresso
cup and a large 4” high coffee mug, thanks to the adjustable height brew
nozzle. |
Internal Dump Box
The machine automatically dumps spent pucks of coffee into an
internal dump box, which can be easily removed when necessary. It holds
roughly 25 pucks before it needs to be emptied. |
Slide Out Cup Tray and Drip
Pan
A single drawer slides out from the front of the machine. It contains the
cup tray and drip pan. It’s made of durable plastic and cleans easily in
the kitchen sink with water and mild detergent. |
|
Powerful Pump, Ingenious Brew System
Like all Saeco super automatics, the
Vienna de Luxe features a powerful vibratory pump rated at 15BAR of
pressure. The machine only requires a steady 9BAR to produce first-rate
espresso; the extra pressure is held in reserve, as it were, to ensure the
machine's pressure can plow through the finest grinds and keep the
pressure extremely even throughout the drink building process. One of the
crucial things to good espresso is an even extraction rate, and the
Saeco's pump delivers. |
|
Instant Hot Water
The machine provides instant
hot water through the steam wand at the press of a button and the turn
of a knob for making other hot beverages, including tea, hot chocolate,
and Americanos.
|
|
Smart Sensors
The machine is equipped with sensors
that tell when the water reservoir is empty or the bean hopper has run out
of coffee beans. If an important component is out of place, such as the
drip tray, service door, brew group, or grounds dump box, a red light will
illuminate. |
|
Swivel Base
The bottom of the machine
is equipped with a swivel base that allows you to turn the entire unit for
easy access to the sides and back. This makes cleaning and service easier. |
|
Accessories
The Saeco Vienna de Luxe includes a
cleaning brush for the coffee grinder, a brew group maintenance tool, and
detailed instructions on how to get the most out of your machine, and an
instructional video. |
