You'll enjoy consistently, rich, smooth espresso, topped with a thick crema, even if you do not have a lot of experience making espresso at home.

It has an easy to use steam wand that's equipped with a special milk frothing tip that yields perfect foam with little or no practice!  

We recommend the Gran Crema for those who are looking for a low to medium price espresso/cappuccino machine that is step up from the Saeco entry level model (Saeco Via Veneto).

The Gran Crema features a high performance pump system to insure excellent crema, easy to use control switches and indicator lights, pressurized portafilter, removable water tank, powerful pump, durable stainless steel boiler and drip tray.

Caracteristics

Simple Controls and Indicator Lights

• The Gran Crema's main power switch, brewing pump switch and steam switch are rocker type switches of heavy-duty plastic, each with its own indicator light. Located on the right side of the machine, is the easy to use steam knob.  

Pressurized Portafilter  

• This heavy duty, stainless steel pressurized filter holder is built to withstand the Gran Crema's high brewing pressures necessary to make superior espresso with thick, rich crema.  

Built In 68-oz. Water Tank  

• For ease in refilling and cleaning, this 68-oz. water reservoir is fully removable. It can also be refilled from the top during the brewing cycle.  

High Performance Pump System  

• The secret to a fine espresso with a thick layer of crema is constant pump pressure. This 15 BAR self-priming pump system has plenty of power to provide great crema coffee for years to come.  

Safe and Durable Boiler  

• Central to the operation of an espresso machine is the quality of the boiler and heating element. The Gran Crema boasts a stainless steel, heavy-duty boiler and heating element. Steam from this powerful unit makes frothing milk a cinch. The boiler regulates the coffee brewing and milk steaming functions through the use of two separate, highly accurate thermostats. This boiler also has burnout protection; a thermal fuse to shut down the heating element should the machine run dry during operation. 

Removable Cup Tray and Drip For Easy Cleaning  

• The cup and drip tray quickly remove and are dishwasher safe.  

Housing Construction  

• Housed in heavy-duty ABS plastic is the Gran Crema will withstand the everyday use and abuse.
