MANILA, Philippines - Take a brief walk through Gaggio, Montano in Italy, and you’ll feel like you’ve stepped into another era – of innocence, tradition, and quaint Italian family values. Yet, this little town was the birthplace of the fresh and elegant countertop coffee machine, Saeco, which has built its reputation around its innovative technology and sleek and modern design.
The founders of the coffee machine, Sergio Zappella and Arthur Schmed, founded GSL Company in 1976 in Gaggio and have since gained ground rapidly in Europe, easily becoming the leading and most popular coffee machine maker in the continent. They have expanded their reach to other markets worldwide, including Central America, Australia and Japan. In the Philippines, Saeco coffee machines are distributed by Fabriano S.p.A. and located at the Monogram Experience Center, 2/F Serendra, Fort Bonifacio Global City (856-2518) and at the GE/Ariston Showroom, 4/F Shangri-la Plaza Mall, Mandaluyong, EDSA (631-8282).
Saeco coffee machines come in both automatic and manual models. The automatic machines come in the Primea, Talea and Odea lines. Some of the features you can look forward to include a ceramic grinder for an almost noiseless brewing experience; and the Autodose function which allows any size of coffee bean. Several owners of Saeco Automatic lines have advocated the ease of brewing, the facilitated cleaning, and of course, the impeccably brewed coffee.
The manual machines come in the Via Veneza, Via Veneto, and Niña Bar styles, and can brew two cups of flawless coffee simultaneously. For the coffee aficionado that enjoys the tradition and process of brewing coffee, the manual machines are for you.
Saeco coffee machines may be considered as a multi-faceted accessory for the home. Contemplate the elegant finish, the flowing lines and the sleek air of the machine. Enjoy the coffee it produces with the ease of a button press or through the time-honored and established process of brewing coffee and with your first sip, consider the origins of Saeco. The first drop of that excellently brewed coffee will bring you back to a more innocent time, with less worries cobblestone pavements, heavy fruit hanging off the branches of the tree, arpeggios and smiling neighbors. And you feel yourself relax. This is what Saeco is all about: the classy and exceptional design that adds elegance to any home, and simultaneously, it’s about the comfort and joy that each sip of immaculately brewed coffee gives. You have the best of both worlds. Stop by the showrooms for a free product demonstration.
