Internals of a Superautomatic Espresso Machine






We have had a few requests to see how the internals of superautomatic espresso machines work in action (since you can't see it at home -- at least you *shouldn't* be seeing it at home!), so we removed the casing and bypassed all the sensors to show you how a Saeco Incanto Classic works its magic.

    Good idea! Although the techs say that it will get all steamy inside so you probably won't be able to see much anyway :( - Kat

    You should make a cristal case for it :) so anybody could watch it working "naked" all the time...

    Interesting! If we could get parts that would be cool; if you're going to trash it definitely send it to us and we can poke around in it before we recycle it. - Kat

    I could always send you this one to play with ;-) Got it for $50 and took it apart and lubed the seals yada yada and when I was taking it apart a large oring seal fell out and now instead of running water through the grounds it runs water straight into the drip tray. Funny though, the brew head (?), compression mechanism looks just like the one in your video...

    I wish we could! Jura Capresso runs a closed service/repair shop in the US so we don't repair these and, therefore, don't know what could be causing issues. We dig their machines and wish we could repair....we always hope, of course :D - Kat

    So, where are the plans to make my own wet tee shirt espresso sprayer???
    Seriously, since you are now the expert on how these super autos work, can you help me diagnose why water is spraying out the wrong spot on my Capresso C1000? Mine does not squirt out the front... Or give me a handy stirring stick.

    Very nice video! I always wondered what exactly happens inside machine. So now all is totally clear ;)
    Thank you! :)
