The Saeco Syntia is a high end espresso machine targeted at true coffee afficiaonado's.
It is absolutely gorgeous and looks like something you would find in a really classy coffee house. It is a pretty small unit compared to other espresso machines in the same class. In this case the smaller size offers two advantages: First of all this unit makes very little noise when working and secondly it will fit in almost any kitchen, not only size wise but also in terms of décor.
It comes in a classy stainless steel body and is really durable. You also get a Brita water filter that will clean out the majority of harsh minerals and chlorine from the water. The great thing about this unit is that you are not forced to use the Brita water filter and that it will function just fine without it.
Last but not least, Saeco offer a 5 year warranty on the motor part. This is absolutely great and no other espresso machine in the same class comes with such a warranty.
Let's take a closer look at some of the features and specifications of the Saeco Syntia and get a better idea about what kind of value it really offers.

Saeco Syntia Reviews
We went through several review databases during our research for this unit and hopefully this information will make the purchasing process a lot easier for you.
We found one negative comment that was mentioned in a couple of reviews. This comment was connected to the fact that some people felt the water tank on the Saeco Syntia was a little small. This can be a minor inconvenience if you are going to make really large volumes at a time, but the water tank on this unit is very easy to refill and therefore we don't see this as something major at all.
Several people even mentioned that this was something you quickly forgot and that it almost never became a problem.
Other than this comment all other reviews were very positive. A lot of really experienced espresso drinkers praised the Saeco Syntia and said that it was definitely the best espresso machine they had ever owned.
What people really love about this unit is the fact that it is self cleaning, the amazing taste it offers and that it offers an immense value compared to the price.
We tried to find other espresso machines in the same price range that offered the same features as the Saeco Syntia, but we really couldn't find anything even close to it.
Last but not least, a lot of people really liked the fact that it doesn't take up a lot of space and that it is very easy to operate.
The Saeco Syntia is definitely worth the money and if you want an absolutely great experience every single time, this is the espresso machine to go for.
