Design
Saeco Lirika OTC has a modern and simple design. Simplicity and functionality are key features. It has a LCD display and easy to use control buttons. Saeco Lirika blk doesn’t have chunky buttons or knobs. Only well designed functional buttons used. You can control all types of operations without hassle.

Who wants to spend much time with a coffee machine in an office? Simply make your great coffee in a very short time and go! That is what Saeco Lirika Espresso do!
Water Tank
Saeco Lirika one touch has many superb features which are not available at that budget automatic coffee segment. One of them is its huge water tank capacity. Saeco Lirika blk has 2.5 Liter water tank capacity. This is really great. Automatic coffee machines consumes much more water than you expected. They consume water not only to make coffee but also to self-clean of the bean to cup coffee machine. Since it has a 2.5 Liter water tank capacity, you don’t have to refill your coffee machine water tank frequently. This feature is especially useful if you are using it in an office environment. Who wants to refill coffee machine water tank frequently ? 🙂
Bean Container and Grinder
Another great feature of Saeco Lirika Espresso is 500 gr coffee bean container. Most of the similar priced bean-to-cup coffee machines has 250 gr capacity bean container. Saeco Lirika’s capacity is twice of this capacity. This is also great. You will refill bean coffee container less frequently.
Beside 500 gr coffee bean capacity, Saeco Lirika OTC has ceramic blades. This is also a big plus compared to stainless steel blades. Ceramic grinders are superior to stainless-steel type grinders. Because, stainless-steel grinders easily heat as it is used. After a while, coffee beans start to burnt and you get ruin flavor from any coffee you made. But at ceramic grinder you will not meet such a thing.
Saeco Lirika one touch has 0,5 Liter drip tray and 15 portions coffee grounds capacity which are higher than similar machines.
Noise Level of Saeco Lirika
Saeco Lirika has a 80 db noise level, while grinding. Similar home bean-to-cup coffee machines has 65-70 db noise level. 80 db is higher than others, but acceptable.
Coffee Types
Saeco Lirika has a Pre-brew infusion system which helps extracting coffee aroma from ground coffee. You can adjust coffee strength and water temperature also. For this reason, you get tasty, aromatic and delicious coffee.
You can prepare one-touch Espresso, Regular (Black Coffee), creamy Cappuccinos and Latte Macchiato easily. Saeco Lirika macchiato is great also.
It has a classic frothing wand called The Pannarello frother and you can brew delicious Cappuccinos and Latte Macchiato easily.
