Saeco Caffe Charisma Deal at Costco

The Saeco Caffe Charisma is selling for a deep discount at Costco through October 31st - $449. The Saeco Caffe Charisma is a super-automatic espresso machine that does a lot for you to make excellent espresso. As with any super auto, you just add whole beans, water and push a button. The Saeco Caffe Charisma grinds, tamps, and pulls an espresso for you. The nice crèma will be there time and time again. It’s got a steam wand for frothing milk to create lattes, or maybe even some latte art???? The by-pass doser lets you add your own ground espresso, which helps if you want to make decaf coffee while the machine is full of regular beans.
