When the GranAroma drops

One message per drop. If it falls further after that you hear again; if it sits still, we stay quiet.

The GranAroma draws milk through a tube from a supplied 0.6 litre jug, and with what Saeco calls LatteDuo it makes two cups at once, cappuccino and latte macchiato included. Philips lists 14 drinks, four user profiles plus a guest profile, and a ceramic grinder with 12 settings.

The GranAroma SM6585 is the same machine with 16 drinks, flat white among them, six profiles, a metal front and an AquaClean filter in the box. The GranAroma Deluxe goes to 18 drinks and adds wifi. The upkeep is the same on all three: HygieSteam every day, a coffee oil remover tablet and milk cleaner every month.

Who for: Anyone who often makes two cappuccinos at once and has no need for flat white.

This is what we know for certain. Dimensions and capacities the manufacturer or the shop does not state are left out rather than estimated. A measurement or a tank volume that is not there is one we do not have.

What does it cost a year to maintain?

A worked example, not a specification: 2 cups a day (730 a year), the intervals from the maker's manual, with the water filter the maker recommends, and the lowest price in our catalog today.

How often you descale depends on your water hardness. Where the maker gives no interval for it, we leave it out rather than estimate it.

Maintenance

Essential

Descaler

Limescale is what most machines die of, and vinegar attacks the seals. A liquid descaler declared suitable for espresso machines does the same job as the maker’s own branded fluid, usually for less.

Recommended

AquaClean water filter

Philips counts a considerably longer descaling interval when this filter is fitted. Replace it on time: a saturated filter does nothing, and the machine keeps counting regardless.

Beans for this machine

Every bean fits every machine. What differs is the order: on a bean-to-cup the 100% arabica beans come first, because dark-roasted blends carrying robusta give off more oil and that clogs a built-in grinder sooner.
