Saeco: Pioneers of Super-Automatic Espresso Machines
Saeco has been at the forefront of super-automatic espresso innovation since its founding in 1981 in Gaggio Montano, Italy, near Bologna. In 1985, Saeco revolutionized the coffee world by becoming the first company to develop a “bean-to-cup” system—a fully automatic espresso brewing process that grinds whole beans and delivers a fresh shot at the push of a button.
Today, Saeco continues to lead with advanced, intuitive espresso machines like the Aulika Evo, Royal, and Magic. These models feature automatic milk frothing, one-touch drink customization, and consistent shot extraction, making them ideal for both home baristas and commercial environments.
With the acquisition of the Gaggia brand in 1999 and its evolution under Philips and the EVOCA Group, Saeco has expanded its reach as a global leader in professional and consumer coffee machines. Each machine reflects the brand’s heritage of Italian engineering, quality, and design—delivering effortless espresso excellence for every lifestyle and budget.
Whether you’re outfitting an office, hotel, or home, Saeco’s super-automatic espresso machines offer reliable performance, stylish presentation, and over four decades of espresso expertise in every cup.
