 
The Royal Professional espresso machine has
long been a staple of the Saeco line by offering low cost professional quality
service for making any of your favorite coffee house drinks. While most folks
purchase this model as a home or office coffee maker / espresso machine, it is well suited as a light
commercial espresso machine for use in a small café or sandwich shop as well. The Royal Professional features
a “button to coffee” approach to brewing espresso or coffee drinks in seconds;
just press a button for espresso or coffee. An easy-to-read, backlit digital
display will guide you completely through the espresso and coffee making
process. The control panel also gives you unprecedented control over the
machine. You can adjust the quantity of coffee and water for each cup and the
coffee temperature too. You can have a coffee bar in your home or office without
taking a lot of counter space because the Royal Professional is compact and it
easily tucks under most overhead cabinets.
A stunning feature of this
model is the fully automated automatic milk frothing system that will have you
serving perfect foam for cappuccino and frothy lattes in seconds. As an
additional feature to the standard built-in steam wand, the auto frother makes
dense foam at the press of a button!
The Royal Professional has
also been equipped with the coveted Saeco Rapid-Steam®Technology, an
advanced system that reduces the normal waiting time between coffee brewing and
steam output to just a few seconds. That means fantastic cappuccinos and lattes
in no time in the home or office. Turn the steam knob and you'll instantly have
lots of steam for all of your favorite coffee house drinks.
With the other advanced
features of this model you can: follow prompts on the digital message screen,
program coffee strength and ounces to be brewed per cup, switch between espresso
or coffee options instantly, change coffee temperature, use pre-ground coffee in
addition to whole coffee beans, adjust the built-in coffee grinder for fine
tuning your espresso/coffee, 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, and more.
Also enjoy a cup warming
feature, swivel base for better access to the side and back of the machine,
comprehensive automatic cleaning and descaling features, removable internal
brewing system for simple cleanup, accessories for maintaining your new Saeco
machine, and unlimited toll free telephone support and advice. Saeco offers a

Detailed Product Features:
Completely Automatic
Espresso & Coffee Brewing
Love espresso but have a busy schedule? Hate to clean up? This is
your machine. Just press the button and the Royal Professional will
automatically grind your coffee beans, and dispense freshly brewed, rich and
flavorful coffee into your cup.
Press the brew button once for
a single espresso or coffee. Pushing the brew button twice quickly will put a
double shot of espresso or coffee in your cup. Utilize the enormous flexibility
of the this machine’s programming options by varying the water volume up to 12
ounces and the ability to select up to 9 grams of ground coffee per brewing
cycle. By experimenting with the water volume and grams of ground coffee you can
fine-tune your coffee and easily program these parameters into the memory. Take
it one step further by programming the coffee temperature for the ultimate cup
of coffee. However, feel free to utilize the factory settings as well if you
wish.
Fully Automated Milk Frothing System
The Royal Professional is one
of the few coffee and espresso centers that features a built-in automatic milk
frothing system for making textbook cappuccinos. Although this machine comes
equipped with a milk frothing wand for heating milk for lattes and café mochas,
the automatic milk frothing system yields perfect foam for cappuccinos. It works
by drawing milk out of a container (like a pint of milk or small pitcher),
combines the milk with steam, and then froths the milk which then is deposited
right into your coffee mug. You can also control the consistency of the foam.
Multi-Function Digital
Screen
It’s
good to keep tabs on your machine. With a quick glance at the digital screen,
you’ll see all the functions and options. Do you want to brew one cup or two? Is
your machine in the automatic rinsing or cleaning cycle? Is it grinding or
brewing? It’s all on the readout display. This versatile machine is also
multilingual and can be programmed in English, Italian, Spanish, French, German,
Japanese, Portuguese, or Dutch.
On-Screen Functions:
Select just the right
temperature from Low, Medium, High and Maximum.
Set up the cup size you’d
like for each brewing cycle to small, medium or large, or any volume in
between.
Monitor the number of cups
you brew in a day.
Set the machine to turn
itself off after 15 minutes or up to 3 hours of non-use.
Set a warning signal
telling you when the machine needs to be cleaned.
Select
the automatic rinsing and de-scaling function. (Good maintenance insures top
working order and prevents mineral deposits and lime scale from accumulating
in the boiler and brewing systems, a major cause of mal-functions!)
Tell the coffee warmer to
turn on or off.
Vending information center
and password.
Plus many other features.
Hot Water Dispenser &
Rapid-Steam®Technology
We’re all steamed up about
Saeco's patented Rapid-Steam® system! Turn the steam knob and have instant steam
you want for cappuccinos or lattes. Other systems can have you waiting up to 45
seconds for the steam function to be ready but not with Rapid-Steam®;
you’ll have consistent steam for repeated drinks. An optional frothing tip for
adding milk froth comes with the machine and delivers perfect foam every time
for lattes or cappuccinos, even if you have never foamed milk before! The steam
wand is located on the left-front of the machine and it accommodates frothing
pitchers up to 32 oz. If you need instant hot water for making tea, hot cocoa,
or Americanos, the hot water feature is available at the press of a button.
3 Pre-Set Buttons for Cup
Size Selection
Getting a great cup of your
favorite coffee is as easy as one, two, three. Press a button for a single or
double shot of espresso. You can brew a small, medium, or large cup of coffee
and vary the strength to your taste. Just press the button and within 30-40
seconds you will be enjoying a perfect beverage.
Espresso or Fresh Brewed
Coffee By The Cup
Ready to move to connoisseur
status? Then try making a Café Créme! It’s simple with the Royal Professional’
ability to adjust for the coarseness of the ground, allowing you to brew a Café
Créme, often referred to as Swiss brewed coffee for the country that made it
popular. Here’s the difference. Espresso uses a finer ground bean to create a
dense pack that restricts the water flow through the grounds, hence the very
strong, intense flavor. It also takes a little longer to brew, anywhere between
15 to 20 seconds for 1.5 ounces.
For a Café Créme, (or crema
coffee) a courser ground is needed, a simple adjustment on this great machine.
This coarser ground allows for more water to pass through faster, resulting in a
frothy layer of coffee that floats on the top: the crema. Aromatic and rich, it
is not as intense a coffee as the espresso but equally delicious. This feature
also makes the Royal Professional a natural replacement for traditional coffee
makers
Special Pre-Ground Coffee
Funnel
This
option allows you to pour pre-ground coffee into a funnel that is accessed by
lifting a small lid on top of the machine. This feature is perfect when there is
someone in the crowd who wants a decaffeinated espresso and there are only
caffeine espresso beans in the machine, or if you wish to sample other blends of
coffee. After making a cup of coffee with the pre-ground option, the machine
automatically resets back to the beans held in the machine. It’s all up to
taster’s choice.
Coffee Strength Function
The Royal Professional has a
feature that will allow you to adjust the amount of coffee to be ground for each
individual cup. Adjust it from 6 grams (- sign) to 9 grams (+ sign) to change
the strength of the coffee. 7 grams of ground coffee is the usual amount for
espresso, 9 grams is used for coffee.
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 Royal
Professional 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, in order to soak it and let it
swell up. 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.
Additional Product Features,
Maintenance & Information:
Professional Quality Coffee
Grinder
Proper
grinding is at the core of excellent coffee production. The Royal Professional
has a built-in, conical type burr grinder, the same type used by the
professionals. Pushing the brew button sets the cycle in motion with the
grinder measuring out the correct amount of beans for the selection made and
then grinding it to specifications.
Conical
burr grinders are made up of a cone shaped grinding wheel that turns slow enough
not to burn the coffee beans, (a problem with low cost grinders). The heavy-duty
steel of the grinding wheel promotes a life of long service and that’s strong
enough to resist damage from the little stones that sometimes slip in with the
beans. This durable construction is consistent with top quality machines and
little or no maintenance or service is needed.
Built-in 82 Ounce Water
Tank
The Royal
Professional 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
when to refill it.
For Perfect Coffee
Extraction - a Powerful Pump
Delivering a maximum pressure
of 15 bars, this on board water pump pulls the maximum flavor from the coffee
beans.
Coffee Bean Storage Hopper
& Internal Dump Box
Keeping ½
pounds of beans fresh and ready for grinding is the built in, lidded coffee bean
hopper. This large capacity allows up to 30 cups of coffee to be prepared before
refilling is needed.
When the
coffee grounds are spent, the machine delivers them to the internal dump box,
which can hold up to 30 expended coffee portions. It’s easy to remove and clean.
Cup Count
Inquiring minds want to know
how many cups of espresso you’ve brewed in a day or a week or a month. It’s fun
to see the number of drinks your machine has produced, but it also serves to
alert you to maintenance and even financial data if it’s being used in an
office. Just how many cups of coffee are your employees drinking each day?
Heavy Duty Heating System
One of the reasons this the
Royal Professional is great for anything from small commercial settings to home
or office use, is its durable 1250 watt boiler. It provides for continuous use
or a lot of servings over a short time period
Adjustable Beverage
Dispensing Nozzle
This coffee dispensing nozzle
moves up or down to accept cup sizes up to 4 inches high.
Heated Cup Stacking Surface
Located on
the top of this machine is a heated surface made of non-stick metal that allows
you to stack up those espresso cups and keep them toasty. Using the on-screen
functions, you can turn this feature on or off.
Swivel Base
Getting
into your espresso machine for cleaning and maintenance is important for the
long life of your machine. The swivel base makes it easy to access all sides of
your machine to remove the water tank and open the side service door.
Cleaning & Maintenance of
Components
In order to keep the inside
of your machine healthy, your 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, which left unchecked can
cause considerable damage to the machine. By descaling your machine every
two-three months, your machine will last for many trouble-free years. Saeco
espresso machine cleaner can be purchased from us or by calling the support
number in your user guide.
The machine will tell you
when it’s time to activate the self-clean system by displaying a message on the
digital screen. After adding our cleaner, just press the clean button. The
machine will take 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.
Used coffee grounds are
collected in the grounds dump box, which can hold up to 30 spent portions of
coffee before emptying is required, and a message will appear on screen to let
you know it needs to be emptied. Waste water left over from the rinsing cycles
is stored in removable drip tray that simply pulls out from the machine and
reinserts in seconds. All components such as the used grounds container, drip
tray, and water tank can be hand washed with regular soap and water.
Removable Internal Brew
System – Cleanup Is Easy
The patented removable
internal brewing system (brew group) has been tested millions of times
throughout the world. It only takes a simple gesture for it to be quickly and
easily removed from the machine and cleaned. Just rinse it under running water
to remove all traces of dirt and coffee residues, which when left inside the
machine, change the flavor of the coffee and interfere with the correct
functioning of the brew group. In this way, the quality of the finest espresso
never alters.
Installation & Accessories
Plug it in
and the Royal Professional is ready to go. No fuss, no muss, no special plumbing
for water intake or discharge and no special electrical outlets are required.
This model can not be plumbed to a water hook-up; it must use the internal water
reservoir. If you need this feature, please see the Saeco Royal Coffee Bar
model, as it has a water hook-up feature.
Detailed instructions on the optimum care and operation of your machine
is included with the purchase along with a brewing group maintenance tool and a
coffee grinder cleaning brush.
