Saeco Minuto Test Mode
Tools
These are some common tools used to work on this device. You might not need every tool for every procedure.
If you have a Saeco coffee maker, also take a look at the guides for Philips and Gaggia machines. They are all made by the same manufacturer and have a very similar design. Some components are identical in many cases, such as the pump, drain valve, heater or motor.
The Saeco Minuto family is a series of fully automatic coffee machines. The technology is typical Saeco, the brewing unit (brewgroup) is smaller (same as XSmall), maintenance is the same as for the larger models though. The different models vary at the extras such as milk foam production units and displays.
Care and Maintenance
A fully automatic coffee machine is not without maintenance! With these models you can remove the brewing units very easily and rinse it under running water. It is important to descale and to replace the gaskets/seals regularly, as instructed in the user manuals. The mill stones (here made of ceramics) are reputed to be of low wear, but may still need replacing if the coffee is no longer satisfactory. These models are prone to clogging the coffee spout with coffee oils which needs to be checked at intervals.
