Congratulations
Saeco M50 guarantees superior quality, style and performance, and embodies the essence of the commercial cuisine.
Saeco M50 is inspired by the robust tools of restaurants, cafés and bars, and is designed to last in time.
It combines a range of equipment specifically designed by experts to recreate a professional environment at home.
The appliance features a perfect mix of stainless steel and metals.
This - together with advanced technology and functional design - ensures that every product exceeds expectations.
It does not matter which method you use to brew coffee: the taste of the product brewed depends mainly on the quality,
freshness and roasting of coffee beans.
Other factors that may affect the taste of the final product may also be the purity of the water, the state of the coffee
grinder and the conformation of the grinding mechanism of the coffee grinder.
Saeco M50 features steel long-lasting conical grinders.
The design of the conical grinders ensures that the parts of ground coffee are uniform.
This is particularly important for espresso coffee: if the coffee is evenly ground, the flavor will be extracted in equal
measure.
If the coffee is not evenly ground, some parts will be over-extracted, while others will be under-extracted, thus resulting
in a coffee with a poor taste.
Another advantage of the conical steel grinders design is their slow and rotational movement.
This - together with a belt motor - minimizes heat transfer to the grinders, preserving the aromatic qualities of coffee and
enhancing the quality of the final product.
The Saeco M50 precision coffee grinder is built using die-cast metal components and is provided with several features that
make it very easy to grind coffee at home. And you can enjoy a delicious cup of coffee every time you want.

7.1 Filling the Coffee Bean
Hopper
Before using the device for
the first time, wash the
coffee bean hopper
carefully. Fill the hopper
with coffee beans only.
Remove the lid of the coffee bean hopper.
Fill the hopper with coffee beans.

at least half of the hopper.
This ensures a constant
grinding.
