I''ve used these filters for years and I like them. However, Saeco has discontinued this model. I spoke with a coffee company who services Saecos who said that the company named Mavea created the Intenza filter to take it''s place. It''s the same filter, just a different brand. Its shaped differently but identical function. It goes by the name of Philips or Saeco Intenza and Amazon does sell them at a slightly more reasonable price as of this review.

Not sure why my last rating isn''t here???

The product itself works because we''ve used many of them BEFORE in our Saeco Incanto machine.

The 2 stars is primarily a rating of the shipping method. When I recieved this, the package it was empty!

This arrived via USPS. The QA of the item "getting" into the package envelope was severely lacking.

The seller blamed the snafu on the ''shipping''... which was either themselves, Amazon or the USPS. In addition to the blame, I hope they might take a minute to resolving mis-packaging issues like this.

Oh well... something to improve upon!

Amazon was great though... they gave me a prompt refund !!

Little bulky in the water reservoir, but small price to pay for keeping my saeco vienna plus boiler working great between descaling every 3 months or whenever boiler wamrmup time starts to fade in hot water delivery out the panarello. Filter must not be shaken or the carbon particles will fall into reservoir gentle hands are key. Still, keep your backup platic mesh cap on underneath the aqua prima just in case. Word of caution, you will lose some steam pressure. I drink black 85% of time, so I don''t care and can remove the filter when I really want strong steam. Also, something else that just may be a quirk of my machine, you will get more coffee sludge accumulating faster behind brew group. It may become a deal breaker, but boy do I hate to descale, so I am conflicted on whether to continue using the aqua prima. I may just get too annoyed cleaning the extra sludge. I will have to decide December 20th when filter swap is due.

This filter works great and I''ve never had any problems with it. It''s easy to insert in the machine and I really like the dial that

shows which month it needs replacing. I always need that reminder after three months).
