I’ve had 2 Saecos - a really good one (Italia, which was another model rebranded for Starbucks), and an Odea. Love the former, hate the latter. In general, these work if you take the time to adjust the grinder, adjust the coffee load quantity, and adjust the shot time. They will never reach the quality you can get with many of the machines you see in this thread, simply because the brew head is plastic and control over coffee and water quantities is limited.
But - since most of the coffees I make are lattes in the morning, I am a lot more forgiving.
