I have problems with the programming of the memo feature that allows you even determined how much coffee to flow into a cup - I have tried it several times and programmed exactly as directed, speaking Saeco somehow another own language (user interface).
At the moment I manage with the top left button for a "Espresso", because I have the first memo programming so managed that my normal coffee cup is normal and completely filled.
Toll I think the noise - it is absolutely not intrusive, with my previous Saeco Superautomatica Family about 2-3x was so loud.
Overall, the HD8751 / 11 makes a very good impression, and I hope that will maintain the quality of life of the components for many years, and the machine is not a crap hopefully that turns after 10 years in recyclable material waste.
