Saeco A-SP-SV Spidem Villa Automatic Espresso Machine

Compact Super Automatic

Weighing in at 18 pounds, the Saeco Spidem Villa is one of the lightest Super Automatic Coffee Centers available on the market today. This is no fragile unit, however, as the boiler is built of stainless steel, and the outside is a sturdy ABS plastic body. You will find the Spidem Villa very accommodating with its 57 ounce water tank and extra-large 12 ounce bean hopper. The Spidem Villa is available in Silver.

Pre-Infusion Brewing

The Saeco Spidem Villa incorporates the Saeco Aroma System to extract the full aroma of coffee beans into every cup. A special pre-programmed step injects a small amount of hot water into the freshly ground coffee to start a pre-brewing process. The actual brewing cycle begins about 2 seconds afterward, allowing for enough time to fully saturate the grounds and achieve maximum flavor.

Easy Operation

Single button brewing is the highlight of the Saeco Spidem Villa's simple control panel. Just set the dial to your desired cup size (1 to 8 oz) and press the brew button. The Spidem Villa will automatically grind the right amount of coffee, tamp, and brew espresso and then dispose of the used grinds all in under a minute. The OptiDose system located in the bean hopper allows you adjust the flavor of each cup and will remain in its set position until you choose to adjust it further.

Stainless Steel ThermoBlock Boiler

The power plant of the Saeco Spidem Villa is its stainless steel-lined ThermoBlock boiler. This same technology is found in units such as the Odea Go. Unlike a traditional boiler, thermoblocks offer rapid warm-up times paired with efficient, on-demand water usage. Turn on the Spidem Villa, and it will be ready to brew in just a few moments. ThermoBlock technology channels the water through the heating element while minimizing the amount of water heated to what the user demands. This process ensures water does not become stale sitting in a boiler for an extended period of time. To froth and steam milk, press the steam button, and the Spidem Villa will heat to steaming temperature in about 30 seconds.

Burr Grinding

The Saeco Spidem Villa features a built-in conical burr grinder with 18 different grind settings to accommodate different coffee roasts and personal tastes. Conical burr grinders are made up of a cone shaped grinding wheel that turns slow enough not to burn the coffee beans, (a problem with low cost grinders). The heavy-duty steel of the grinding wheel promotes a life of long service and is strong enough to resist damage from the little stones that sometimes slip in with the beans. The Saeco OptiDose system allow you to adjust the amount of coffee to be ground from 6 to 9 ounces (mild to strong coffee).  

Easy Milk Frothing and Steaming

Creating perfect micro-foam milk froth can be a difficult task and is an accomplishment to be proud of. The Saeco Spidem Villa strives to make the entire job much more simple. The redesigned Panarello milk frothing wand divides steam for milk into three directions forcing more air and steam into the entire pitcher of cold milk. This will allow you to heat your milk faster and more evenly resulting perfect steamed milk for lattes or exquisite micro-foam for cappuccinos. The Panarello wand can also be used to dispense hot water for tea.

Water Filtration

The Saeco Spidem Villa can utilize the optional Aqua Prima Water Filter (sold separately) to not only improve the taste of your coffee, but also protect the internal components of the machine. Regular replacement of the Aqua Prima filter ensures the removal of chlorine, lead, aluminum, and copper for a better tasting coffee. It will also reduce the formation of limescale and protect the Spidem Villa from the corrosive nature of tap water. The standard 57 ounce water reservoir can easily be refilled while it is still on the machine or by removing it with the easy-grip handle and filling it at the kitchen tap.

Easy Cleanup

The patented Saeco Easy Clean System removable internal brew group has been tested millions of times throughout the world. It only takes a simple gesture for it to be quickly and easily removed from the machine and cleaned. Just rinse it under running water to remove all traces of dirt and coffee residues, which when left inside the machine, change the flavor of the coffee and interfere with the correct functioning of the brew group. When this cleaning is done in conjunction with the automatic descaling cycle, the Spidem Villa will produce consistently delicious espresso every time you turn it on.

For Use with Superautomatika Blend

It's a little known fact that Super Automatic espresso coffee centers brew the best coffee when using only a special kind of bean. While it's true that the Saeco Spidem Villa can be filled with most kinds of coffee beans, the greatest flavor and tallest crema are achieved when brewing Superautomatika Blend, the only coffee crafted specifically for super-automatic machines. The beans that make up Superautomatika Blend are picked, roasted, and blended solely for use in super automatic coffee centers.
