Saeco Xelsis
CoffeeSpecs does not sell and does not show shop prices: check the price where you buy.
The Xelsis sits at the top of Saeco's domestic range, now marketed by Versuni through the brand's official site. Like the GranAroma it uses a fully ceramic grinder adjustable across 12 steps, but feeds a larger 450 g AromaSeal bean container. Declared weight is 12.5 kg, with a power draw of 1500 W; the manufacturer does not state voltage, frequency, or the machine's dimensions with a defined axis order.
Milk is frothed through an external carafe and LattePerfetto technology, also compatible with plant-based alternatives. The manufacturer states 22 base drinks are available, customizable through the CoffeeEqualizer Touch function, plus 8 user profiles; with Wi-Fi active the machine can download additional seasonal recipes, reaching what the promotional material describes as more than 50 combinations over time - a figure that depends on device registration and periodic updates, not a fixed out-of-the-box count.
The built-in Wi-Fi is used to update software and content directly on the machine's own screen: the manufacturer specifies this happens without needing a smartphone app, so control stays on the machine's touch panel itself. The manufacturer does not state whether the machine accepts pre-ground coffee or whether the milk-system parts are dishwasher safe.
