The machine is all you need for the maintenance of the next 3 months. In addition to the accessories for the milk froth and the measuring spoon for ground coffee, are a natural water-Britta, gauges for water hardness and brush, descaler and fat for brewing unit for maintenance at. Only the Kaffeefettlösetabs specified in the PFD Instructions missing unfortunately.
The first start-up (see below) is really fast, because everything was nice and clean, no dust, no coffee residues from the factory testing, no fingerprints.
,
,
INSTRUCTIONS:
This is a 2 multilingual A5 booklets. These are unfortunately only a Quick Start Guide, as it were, for the first coffee or cappuccino.
For initial start-up it is good for the further operation of the machine is required necessarily the full instructions from the network.
The real manual so you have to download them to the Saeco website as pdf-instructions and you should print out as you need them again for maintenance. 'Without computers today is no more.'
The more than 50-page manual is very easy to understand, explained everything with drawings and everything is very well described.

,
COMMISSIONING:
According to the description this is done in a good 15 minutes. Of course, the machine must be flushed, but that's all very simple.
I noticed is that the MAX mark of the water tank is easily imprinted on the acrylic glass. Here a black mark as the milk container would be better.
,
The device menu ...
'I find very easy to understand and user-friendly.
Everything is displayed in plain text sharp.
You have every possible opportunity to prepare for change, User Profiles to create and should you lose the overview, there is a menu item of all to the factory setting brings.
,
The sharp display '
is colored with this machine. There will also be time and date displays, because the machine has a timer so you can set the switch-on time for each weekday. On the other hand, it is no way in 1 - ready for 2 minutes.
The display is set back, why ??
The little Italian will not disturb this, I as a great man had initially feel always having to withdraw something to see it better.

The operating elements:
For all the important brands there is a key, beautifully lit, labeled and large, left the coffee products, the right dairy products. In the center, there are buttons and knobs to change the strength, flavor, etc.
,
For hot water and steam to the left is a combination of nozzle and spout. The water comes out at 80 ° C.
Right sits the milk container, the inlet is closed by an attractive chrome cover when the container is not required. Thoughtful little thing: The cover is magnetic and is simply attached to the housing of the machine when the opening needs.
,
,
THE OPERATION:
So far, about 100 cups were produced across all types of preparations.
The fully automatic working properly. Operation is simple, since each one correct button, so no sensor button is available for any preparation, other preparations can be found in the menu.
While the conventional coffee beans for filter coffee tastes, but has not a nice crema. You have to rely on the beans produced specifically for fully automatic. Possibly you have to experiment a bit with the varieties, to the variety right. Even the change from one another on a fully automatic machine produces a different taste of the coffee.
,
The adjustment of the grinding degree is in the bean container and can be easily via a large knob operate.
,
Is working properly and the preparation with pre-ground coffee, for example, if you want only now and then an espresso and but are normal Crema coffee beans in the grinder. The small compartment is front accessible.
,
Those who want to can the espresso cups on a (disconnectable) field (center, rear) Preheat.
,
The machine is equipped with sensors that display on the screen if the door is not closed, water to run out (not early enough before the preparation of the appropriate amount of coffee), grounds container is full etc.
Everything is displayed in plain text.
,
,
The operating noise:
The machine is considerably quieter than older predecessors. This is mainly due to the ceramic grinder, but also the pump has become quieter. Nevertheless, in a meeting room, I would not place this device also, for these fully automatic machines are just too loud.
,
,
The taste and PREPARATION:
After a bit Try one has his varieties found. Espresso and coffee taste very fragrant and very good.
Simply delicious is the solid milk foam, which can be easily produced with the fully automatic 'automatically'. The consumption of milk has increased considerably with us with the full machine. At the appropriate durable cold whole milk has the way with 3.8% fat highlighted (currently with us Weyenstephan).
The milk container is very handy, has lead a sturdy handle, which is used in standby position also drops and clean water in the drip tray.
One I do not like so well. Automatically a shot of steam is fed directly to the milk foam preparation for cleaning the milk nozzle. This produces a lot of spatter adhering to housing and milk container. But this is also the only thing that I criticize.
Taste all coffee specialties are very good.
,
,
MAINTENANCE / CLEANING:
A lot of technology also requires a lot of maintenance 'and that is to be taken literally !!
Though Auto rinsed after each switching on and off, once a week but has a 'full cleaning' including brewing unit (the coffee-producing component behind the door) and the interior will be carried out. Drip tray and coffee grounds container must be cleaned daily.
Lubrication of Brühgruppenreinigung is to take place after about 500 cups.
About the stable front door everything is very accessible. Laterally are fortunately no openings.
Furthermore, even the milk foam system must be disassembled and cleaned or flushed.
,
,
One more word about the power consumption:
Standby consumes only 0.4W fully automatic 'a very good value.
A main switch is in the back bottom center available for the holiday season.
The time when the plant is scheduled to go to standby, can be selected (15 minutes is default) in the menu.

,
CONCLUSION:
The Saeco HD9712 / 01 Incanto Executive coffee machine is a great device, very well thought out and you realize that the experience with devices of the past have been incorporated here directly. So I have just noted a single point, namely the spurting at the steam cleaning milk nozzle.
The HD9712 really unites now all in what you 'need'.
I highly recommend this device, because the handling is excellent, the service is easy to perform, the preparation and the taste of the drinks is very good and fragrant. Besides, the machine also looks very noble.
,
Just a tip:
Remember before buying, a fully automatic machine must be running and you think of the need for maintenance arises inevitably particularly for hygienic reasons when the device is running (but of course, if it is not running).
If you decide, you have a very classy-looking, very easy to use, highly reliable coffee machine which can be great tasting coffees, lattes, excellent milk froth or delicious hot milk froth cocoa conjures.
We had no failures, the Saeco devices are apparently mature high of Saeco fully automatic machines in recent years.
