Saeco Incanto HD8911/47 Overview

Saeco is a great brand with high-quality products, and I doubt you’ll be disappointed owning one of their premium super-automatic models.

What do I love about this machine?

(Aside from the fact it’s a Saeco.)

The LCD screen is a great feature. You also get the water hardness setting unique to the Saecos on this list. The compact brew group is also removable for easy cleaning.

On the downside, this machine is not made with stainless steel. Instead it has a plastic exterior.

Aside from the couple other cons noted below, there aren’t many negatives I have to say about this machine.

Pros
  • Adjustable exit nozzles accommodates larger cups
  • Simple to use with consistent result
  • Great milk frother
  • Comes with water hardness test strips and adjustable setting for your water’s hardness
Cons
  • Adjustable exit nozzle doesn’t accommodate short demitasse cups
  • Doesn’t come with a water filter
  • Plastic exterior

Is the Saeco Incanto HD8911/47 for you?

Are Saeco Incanto HD8911/47 for you?

I’m a big fan of Saeco — their extended brew group warranty is especially great — and I’d recommend almost any Saeco espresso machine.

That goes doubly for the highly-rated Incanto HD9811/47.

About The Coffee Maven

Bryan De Luca

I'm Bryan but most people know me as The Coffee Maven. I grew up outside Boston, Massachusetts and received my Bachelor's degree in Biochemistry from Providence College. My first introduction to coffee was during my college days, when I used it as a source of caffeine to fuel late-night study sessions, but soon I became obsessed with the chemistry of coffee. How did changes to water temperature or contact time affect its taste? Why do beans from Africa taste fruity while beans from Indonesia taste spicy? I launched The Coffee Maven in February 2017 to explore these questions and help others brew their perfect cup. Welcome to my site, and thanks for reading!
