Saeco is a relatively young company, having only been established in 1981. But it grew very fast, launching its first fully automatic espresso machine in 1985 and acquiring the historic espresso machine brand Gaggia in 1999. Saeco was acquired by Philips in 2009, and today the majority of fully automatic coffee machines for home use in China are distributed by Philips.
 
Xike's automatic coffee machine has a good cost performance, around 5000 yuan, you can buy a fully functional product. For example, Lirika OTC, with a 2.5L large water tank, 500g coffee bean box, is between commercial and home, the whole coffee machine only has 6 buttons, the operation is very simple and efficient, the appearance design is simple and smart, very suitable for use in the company.
 
In contrast, Saeco's semi-automatic coffee machines are relatively less worth buying. HD8323As a semi-automatic coffee machine, the price is only 1199 yuan, but from the performance point of view, it is not a good choice for beginners, the temperature control and pressure control are relatively poor, the noise is high during extraction, and the milk foam particles made by the steam wand are large and uneven. Compared with the De'Longhi Icona ECO 310, the price is comparable, but the design is much worse, and the quality control has also been criticized a lot.
