Saeco PicoBaristo AMF
Up to 5000 cups* without descaling with AquaClean filter
Saeco’s new and patented innovation, AquaClean water filter, ensures you make the most out of your full automatic coffee machine. By changing the filter at machine request, you will not need to descale your machine for up to 5000 cups*, while getting the benefit of clear and purified water. As an added benefit, the descaling notification alarm is automatically deactivated once AquaClean is installed in your Saeco PicoBaristo AMF.
Enjoy hot coffee in no time with the Quick Heat Boiler
When time is of the essence, you can brew perfect espresso and cappuccino without the wait, thanks to the Quick Heat Boiler. The secret is in its light aluminum and stainless steel body, which can reach hot temperatures, fast.
The strength selection remembers just how strong you like it
With the Saeco PicoBaristo AMF, you can choose your ideal strength from the 5 different settings, select the length and the temperature. You can easily save your desired coffee length with the Memo Function for each drink. Then every cup in the future will be customised exactly to your taste. You’ll never have to remind it again, unlike the local barista.
Extract maximum flavor with the 100% ceramic grinders
The robust 100% ceramic grinders of the Saeco PicoBaristo AMF guarantees your moments of pure coffee indulgence for years to come. The ceramic burr creates the ideal grind, which allows the water to flow through steadily, extracting the purest essence of the beans. And unlike other ‘regular’ grinders’, the ceramic material prevents the coffee from overheating and tasting burnt.
Velvety froth at one touch with the Automatic Milk Frother
The Automatic Milk Frother will deliver your coffee’s crowning glory at the touch of a button. Within seconds it will be topped with a silky, milk layer of the finest consistency – the ultimate lure for all cappuccino lovers.
Fine-tune the coffee’s richness with 10 grinder settings
When it comes to the fineness of the grind, the Saeco PicoBaristo AMF never fails to satisfy. Different coffee blends require different levels of granularity for the full flavour to unfold. So the grind granularity of this machine has ten adjustable settings – from the finest grind for a full-bodied espresso, to the coarsest for a lighter coffee.
A multitude of specialty coffees at the touch of a button
From Espresso to Cappuccino, there is an assortment of options waiting to satisfy your coffee cravings. Whether it’s first thing in the morning or an after dinner treat, there’s a taste for any time of the day, right at your fingertips.
Iconic stainless steel front, shaped to precision
The use of stainless steel on the front and top crafted with Italian design ensure that this Full Autom machine will stand the test of time in a classic or modern kitchen. An elegant vision of pure design, your Saeco PicoBaristo AMF will look as refined as the coffee it makes.
*Actual number of cups depends on selected coffee varieties, rinsing and cleaning patterns. Descaling alarm is automatically deactivated after 8 filters.

*Saeco PicoBaristo Carafe pictured
CbHMNY –
Replaced an older Saeco Vienna Plus which is still in great working order. Wanted a system with a milk carafe for Cappucino/Latte, as that’s become a family favorite. This machine, used daily for at least 2 cappucinos and several espressos each day, has to this point been flawless. It is easy to use, easy to maintain, and produces delightful coffee right out of the box. Setup was easy! If I were to provide one suggestion – it would be to ‘sense’ the presence of ground coffee (when using the bypass doser) if the user forgets to set the ‘bean strength’ to ground coffee – or force a strength choice – instead of automatically grinding the default dose – which then overloads the dose and causes a “too much coffee powder” error/fault. A small issue, but one which could be easily rectified and would make it even more user-friendly. Love this machine and would definitely buy again.

This is the only espresso machine I’ve ever had and I hope it lasts a long time. I have been intimidated by the idea for ages, but this machine has made espresso and lattes and all the happy espresso drinks easy! The machine itself is sturdy, solid and seems very well made.
And it’s fast. Even with cleaning, this machine makes it easy to justify a quick latte.
1. READ the instructions. Seriously. Getting an overview of everything will help with setup and use.
2. EMPTY the grounds bin and bottom catch tray often, not just when the machine tells you to. Avoid mould.
3. If all else fails, there are videos online to help!
I thought setup was pretty straight-forward, easy with instructions. Adding water and beans to the machine is super-simple as well.
***What baffled me for a while was how to get to the grounds bucket to empty it. You pull out the catch tray, from the front, and you’ll have easy access to the bin!*** The assembly slides in and out easily once you realize that’s what it does.
Freshly ground beans? YUM. Freshly brewed espresso? Yes, please!
Milk frothing? Super easy! I clean the frother with 2 runs of clean water after I do milk, but you could probably get away with one.
Brew temperature settings. Beverage intensity settings. Specialty beverages. There are lots of bells and whistles AND those features are easy to use! (Caveat: READ the instructions.)
I did find putting the brew group back in was difficult – it took me some time to get the right angle… and I have no idea what I did… Happily, this only has to happen once a month or so for cleaning, so I know I’ll eventually get better at it.
Finally, the counter space. This is a narrow but deep machine and you need to be able to flip open the top covers on either side to add water and coffee beans. I moved it a couple times before finding the right spot in my kitchen – it doesn’t take up a ton of space but you need that access to the top. The covers do open completely under my cabinets, with room to spare, then it’s just a matter of the right angle to pour water or beans in.
Overall, I’m impressed and happy with this machine. Don’t be intimidated – this is a high-quality, easily learned machine!
