The Philips Saeco Xelsis is a high-end coffee machine with a high degree of smarts packed inside and out.

First up is the fingerprint recognition. Up to six different people can enter their coffee profile associated to their fingerprints, and have the machine automatically make up to nine different favourite beverages for each person’s profile.



“Philips Saeco has worked tirelessly to develop coffee machines that meet the needs of Australia’s discerning coffee drinkers. Now, this includes the ability to create a customised, café-quality beverage with ease,” said Malcolm Russell, Product Marketing Manager, Saeco International Group Australia. “Now with the Xelsis Digital ID your favourite coffee is, quite literally, at your fingertips.”

You can also program the Philips Saeco Xelsisfor your desired brewing temperature, and level of coffee in your cup.

All of this is controlled and displayed on a colour touchscreen, as is the automatic cleaning and de-scaling cycles.
