According to our Fully automatic espresso machine expert
The Saeco Xelsis SM7683/00 Silver has a stainless steel front with integrated color touchscreen display. This allows you to set the temperature, strength, and amount of a cup of coffee very precisely. You can adjust the 15 different coffee specialties to be exactly the way you like them. With the adjustable user profiles you can now save coffee recipes for 6 people with 1 push of a button. Thanks to the Latteduo system, you can even prepare 2 milk specialties at the same time. This will come in handy when you're having guests round. You can use the HygieSteam function to clean the milk system with steam and thanks to the Aquaclean function you can make 5000 cups of coffee without needing to descale the machine. This will save you a lot of work.

After having enjoyed using the Philips Saeco Intelia Evo . for several years, The Philips Xelsis 7683/00 is now in our kitchen, and what a change this is. In terms of size, the device is slightly more present than our previous fully automatic machine, but that is not a problem because you also get a lot in return. Before using the device, first watched the video online about how everything had to be set up, this was actually not necessary because when you switch it on for the first time, the device takes you in steps for the correct settings.
When you come to the moment of making a cup of coffee, it is just a matter of choosing which type of coffee. With all the options it takes a while to come up with, but in the meantime we've had almost all of them, what strikes me is that the taste of the different types of coffee is actually different. An espresso has a stronger taste than a normal coffee, etc. and this is sometimes disappointing with other devices, because it often tastes the same. We are now slowly experimenting with the adjustable grind size to make the coffee taste even better.
The color screen is very clear, although you sometimes have to take a good look at which settings you like for your coffee. Things like strength, milk froth and order can all be set. It is very clear, but the possibilities are endless. What I also find very important is that you can adjust the temperature, something that was not possible with my previous device, and I always found the coffee to come out of the device too lukewarm. So this is a breath of fresh air. When you have puzzled your perfect container together, you can easily save the settings in a profile so that you can compile his or her own preference list for everyone in the house. The foaming of the milk is also good, I recommend using long-life skimmed milk, this foams well, and the self-cleaning after foaming is also ideal, this saves you having to rinse the tube every time because this is really hard work.
Is it all super and perfect then? No not quite. The technology is now so far that the system itself indicates that the water tank must be filled and that the coffee collector must be emptied, but the drip tray under the device still has to be monitored by a red float. This would also work for me with a sensor. And a second for a device of this class, I think the plastic coffee spout is a bit of a shame, I would have liked to see a metal version of this.
My conclusion after a week of using this fully automatic machine is that the device is a very welcome successor to our previous fully automatic machine. It radiates quality in the kitchen and you can taste that in the coffee that can be made with it. In the beginning it is a bit of a puzzle with all the possibilities that the device offers, but once you have mastered this you can sit down and enjoy a nice coffee or macchiato.
