Saeco Nina Bar
$300.00
Released January, 2008
The Pros:Powerful steam system results in very high-quality coffee product. Include "Cappuccinator" is helpful and functional - minimizes steps and time involved in making a Cappuccino.
The Cons:Automated water-heating preparation can be time-intensive - must be executed prior to each separate brew. Pump unit must be re-primed before using the steam wand - can become tiresome after prolonged use. Intricate cleaning of plastic and rubber parts can be difficult and awkward.
The Saeco Nina Bar is a low cost, low quality product. It is described as requiring traditional "hands-on" brewing and is perfect for an "entry level" consumer. One good feature of the Saeco Nina Bar is that is is able to handle ESE Pods.

seff:
#saeco_nina_bar there is no "built in grinder" in this model.
the only difference from the Nina model is a touch
electronic dosing system and control panel instead of the manual control
and automatic Cappuccinatore frother.
it is gorgeous and makes a good brew
so what do you want more from it?
longevity(questionable. ABS plastic is quite durable)?
metal instead of plastic in Panarello frother?
OK I agree on that one
