Saeco Royal Coffee Bar Automatic Espresso,
Cappuccino, & Coffee Machine
The Royal Coffee Bar is the only home, office and light
commercial fully automated espresso, coffee, and cappuccino center that has the
ability to be hooked up to a water connection. The Royal Coffee Bar, like its
sister model - the Royal Professional, has long been a staple of the Saeco line
by offering low cost professional quality service for making any of your
favorite coffee house drinks. While most folks purchase this model for small to
medium size offices and cafes, it is well suited for use in your home or club
house due its compact footprint.
The Royal Coffee Bar features a “button to coffee” approach to brewing
espresso or coffee drinks in seconds; just press a button for espresso or
coffee. An easy-to-read, backlit digital display will guide you completely
through the espresso and coffee making process. The control panel also gives you
unprecedented control over the machine. You can adjust the quantity of coffee
and water for each cup and the coffee temperature too. You can have a coffee bar
in your home or office without taking a lot of counter space because the Royal
Coffee Bar is compact and it easily tucks under most overhead cabinets.
A stunning feature of this model is the fully automated automatic milk frothing
system that will have you serving perfect foam for cappuccino and frothy
lattes in seconds. As an additional feature to the standard built-in steam wand,
the auto frother makes dense foam at the press of a button!
The Royal Coffee Bar has also been equipped with the
coveted Saeco Rapid-Steam®Technology,
an advanced system that reduces the normal waiting time between coffee brewing
and steam output to just a few seconds. That means fantastic cappuccinos and
lattes in no time in the home or office. Turn the steam knob and you'll
instantly have lots of steam for all of your favorite coffee house drinks.
With the other advanced features of this model you can:
follow prompts on the digital message screen, program coffee strength and ounces
to be brewed per cup, switch between espresso or coffee options instantly,

Detailed Product Features:
Completely
Automatic Espresso & Coffee Brewing
Love espresso but have a busy schedule?
Hate to clean up? This is your machine. Just
press the button and the Royal Coffee Bar will automatically grind your coffee
beans, and dispense freshly brewed, rich and flavorful coffee into your cup.
This machine allows you to choose the volume, strength, and temperature of your
coffee by simply pressing buttons on the control panel. Then it cleans up and is
ready for the next order, in less than 30 seconds.
Press
the brew button once for a single espresso or coffee. Pushing the brew button
twice quickly will put a double shot of espresso or coffee in your cup. Utilize
the enormous flexibility of the this machine’s programming options by varying
the water volume up to 12 ounces and the ability to select up to 9 grams of
ground coffee per brewing cycle. By experimenting with the water volume and
grams of ground coffee you can fine-tune your coffee and easily program these
parameters into the memory. Take it one step further by programming the coffee
temperature for the ultimate cup of coffee. However, feel free to utilize the
factory settings as well if you wish.
Fully Automated Milk Frothing System
The
Royal Coffee Bar is one of the few coffee and espresso centers that features a
built-in automatic milk frothing system for making textbook cappuccinos.
Although this machine comes equipped with a milk frothing wand for heating milk
for lattes and café mochas, the automatic milk frothing system yields perfect
foam for cappuccinos. It works by drawing milk out of a container (like a pint
of milk or small pitcher), combines the milk with steam, and then froths the
milk which then is deposited right into your coffee mug. You can also control
the consistency of the foam.
Multi-Function Digital Screen
It’s good to keep tabs on your machine.
With a quick glance at the digital screen, you’ll see all the functions and
options. Do you want to brew one cup or two? Is your machine in the automatic
rinsing or cleaning cycle? Is it
grinding or brewing? It’s all on
the readout display. This versatile machine is also multilingual and can be
programmed in English, Italian, Spanish, French, German, Japanese, Portuguese,
or Dutch.
On-Screen Functions:
·
Program your favorite language.
·
Select just the right temperature from Low, Medium,
High and Maximum.
·
Set up the cup size you’d like for each brewing
cycle to small, medium or large, or any volume in between.
·
Monitor the number of cups you brew in a day.
·

deposits and lime scale from accumulating in the boiler and brewing systems, a
major cause of mal-functions!)
·
Tell the coffee warmer to turn on or off.
·
Vending information center and password.
·
Plus many other features.
Hot
Water Dispenser & Rapid-Steam®Technology
We’re all steamed up about Saeco's patented Rapid-Steam®
system! Turn the steam knob and have instant steam you want for cappuccinos or
lattes. Other systems can have you waiting up to 45 seconds for the steam
function to be ready but not with Rapid-Steam®;
you’ll have consistent steam for repeated drinks.
An optional frothing tip for adding milk froth comes with
the machine and delivers perfect foam every time for lattes or cappuccinos, even
if you have never foamed milk before! The steam wand is located on the
left-front of the machine and it accommodates frothing pitchers up to 32 oz. If
you need instant hot water for making tea, hot cocoa, or Americanos, the hot
water feature is available at the press of a button.
3 Pre-Set Buttons for Cup Size Selection
Getting a great cup of your favorite coffee is as easy as
one, two, three. Press a button for a single or double shot of espresso. You can
brew a small, medium, or large cup of coffee and vary the strength to your
taste. Just press the button and within 30-40 seconds you will be enjoying a
perfect beverage.
Espresso or Fresh Brewed Coffee By The Cup
Ready to move to connoisseur status? Then try making a Café
Créme! It’s simple with the Royal Coffee Bar’ ability to adjust for the
coarseness of the ground, allowing you to brew a Café Créme, often referred to
as Swiss brewed coffee for the country that made it popular. Here’s the
difference. Espresso uses a finer ground bean to create a dense pack that
restricts the water flow through the grounds, hence the very strong, intense
flavor. It also takes a little longer to brew, anywhere between 15 to 20 seconds
for 1.5 ounces. For a Café Créme, (or crema coffee) a courser ground is
needed, a simple adjustment on this great machine. This coarser ground allows
for more water to pass through faster, resulting in a frothy layer of coffee
that floats on the top: the crema. Aromatic
and rich, it is not as intense a coffee as the espresso but equally delicious.
This feature also makes the Royal Coffee Bar a natural replacement for
traditional coffee makers.
Special Pre-Ground Coffee Funnel
This option allows you
to pour pre-ground coffee into a funnel that is accessed by lifting a small lid
on top of the machine. This feature is perfect when there is someone in the
crowd who wants a decaffeinated espresso and there are only caffeine espresso
beans in the machine, or if you wish to sample other blends of coffee. After
making a cup of coffee with the pre-ground option, the machine automatically
resets back to the beans held in the machine. It’s all up to taster’s
choice.
Coffee Strength Function
The Royal Coffee Bar has a feature that will allow you to
adjust the amount of coffee to be ground for each individual cup. Adjust it from
6 grams (- sign) to 9 grams (+ sign) to change the strength of the coffee. 7
grams of ground coffee is the usual amount for espresso, 9 grams is used for
coffee.
Special Pre-infusion Brew System Cycle
Pre-infusion allows you
to get maximum flavor from the brewing process. This advanced system takes the
newly ground coffee beans from the internal Royal Coffee Bar coffee grinder and
correctly tamps the coffee. Next
comes “pre-infusion.” To optimize the flavor extraction, a special step
injects a little hot water into the freshly ground coffee, in order to soak it
and let it swell up. This is done just before the actual brew cycle commences.
The grounds are pre-soaked and then brewed before being discarded automatically
into the internal dump box. The machine then resets itself for the next brewing
cycle.
Additional Product Features, Maintenance & Information:
Professional Quality Coffee Grinder
Proper grinding is at
the core of excellent coffee production. The Royal Coffee Bar has a built-in,
conical type burr grinder, the same type used by the professionals.
Pushing the brew button sets the cycle in motion with the grinder
measuring out the correct amount of beans for the selection made and then
grinding it to specifications. Conical burr grinders are made up of a cone
shaped grinding wheel that turns slow enough not to burn the coffee beans, (a
problem with low cost grinders). The heavy-duty steel of the grinding wheel
promotes a life of long service and that’s strong enough to resist damage from
the little stones that sometimes slip in with the beans.
This durable construction is consistent with top quality machines and
little or no maintenance or service is needed.
Built-in 82 Ounce Water Tank
The Royal Coffee Bar
water reservoir can easily be refilled while it is still on the machine or by
removing it with the easy-grip handle and filling it at the kitchen tap.
The reservoir is made of clear ABS plastic so checking the water level is
a breeze. When the water runs low, the digital display will remind you when to
refill it.
For Perfect Coffee Extraction - a Powerful Pump
Delivering a maximum pressure of 15 bars, this on board
water pump pulls the maximum flavor from the coffee beans.
Coffee Bean Storage Hopper & Internal Dump Box
Keeping ½ pounds of
beans fresh and ready for grinding is the built in, lidded coffee bean hopper.
This large capacity allows up to 30 cups of coffee to be prepared before
refilling is needed. When the coffee grounds are spent, the
machine delivers them to the internal dump box, which can hold up to 30 expended
coffee portions. It’s easy to remove and clean.
Cup Count
Inquiring minds want to know how many cups of espresso
you’ve brewed in a day or a week or a month. It’s fun to see the number of
drinks your machine has produced, but it also serves to alert you to maintenance
and even financial data if it’s being used in an office. Just how many cups of
coffee are your employees drinking each day?
Heavy
Duty Heating System
One of the reasons this the Royal Coffee Bar is great for
anything from small commercial settings to home or office use, is its durable
1250 watt boiler. It provides for continuous use or a lot of servings over a
short time period.
Adjustable Beverage Dispensing Nozzle
This coffee dispensing nozzle moves up or down to accept
cup sizes up to 4 inches high.
Heated Cup Stacking Surface
Located on the top of
this machine is a heated surface made of non-stick metal that allows you to
stack up those espresso cups and keep them toasty. Using the on-screen
functions, you can turn this feature on or off.
Swivel
Base
Getting into your
espresso machine for cleaning and maintenance is important for the long life of
your machine. The swivel base makes it easy to access all sides of your machine
to remove the water tank and open the side service door.
Cleaning
& Maintenance of Components
In order to keep the inside of your machine healthy, your
machine must be cleaned periodically. Scale buildup from naturally occurring
minerals in your water can build up on sensitive components like the inside of
the boiler, which left unchecked can cause considerable damage to the machine.
By descaling your machine every two-three months, your machine will last for
many trouble-free years. Saeco espresso machine cleaner can be purchased from us
or by calling the support number in your user guide.
The machine will tell you when it’s time to activate the
self-clean system by displaying a message on the digital screen. After adding
our cleaner, just press the clean button. The machine will take it from there.
Descaling and general cleaning is important even if you have a sophisticated
water filter system, and especially if you use well water.
Used coffee grounds are collected in the grounds dump box,
which can hold up to 30 spent portions of coffee before emptying is required,
and a message will appear on screen to let you know it needs to be emptied.
Waste water left over from the rinsing cycles is stored in removable drip
tray that simply pulls out from the machine and reinserts in seconds.
All components such as the used grounds container, drip tray, and water
tank can be hand washed with regular soap and water.
Removable
Internal Brew System – Cleanup Is Easy
The patented removable internal brewing system (brew group)
has been tested millions of times throughout the world. It only takes a simple
gesture for it to be quickly and easily removed from the machine and cleaned.
Just rinse it under running water to remove all traces of dirt and coffee
residues, which when left inside the machine, change the flavor of the coffee
and interfere with the correct functioning of the brew group. In this way, the
quality of the finest espresso never alters.
Installation & Accessories
Plug it in and the
Royal Coffee Bar is ready to go. No fuss, no muss, no special plumbing for water
intake or discharge and no special electrical outlets are required.
This model can be plumbed to a water hook-up or it can use
the on-board water reservoir. The machine can be programmed to accept water from
either source using the multifunction display menu.
Detailed instructions on the optimum care and operation of
your machine is included with the purchase along with a brewing group
maintenance tool and a coffee grinder cleaning brush.
