Product DescriptionThe big act following the famous Saeco Aroma semi-automatic espresso maker is Magic. Magic Cappuccino espresso and cappuccino machine is named for its ability to brew flawless aromatic espresso time after time with just the touch of a button. It makes an espresso expert out of anyone with the pressurized brew filter that magically corrects for any type of coffee grind or insufficient tamping. The newly redesigned Magic Cappuccino is a great favorite among coffee lovers who like the convenience of single serving espresso pods as well as fresh ground coffee. And all this is in a compact efficient size that will fit under any cabinet and look great. It has a 15 bar pump system to insure excellent crema, easy to use control switches and indicator lights, pressurized portafilter for ground coffee), an ESE espresso pod adapter (Illy compatible) , removable water tank, durable stainless steel boiler, drip pan, cup tray and cup warming plate. Though it has a large capacity 68-oz. Water Tank, it is magically only 9.5''W x 11''Dx14''H so it fits on any countertop.
Saeco's Magic introduces a built-in auto frothing system. Although this machine comes equipped with a Pannarello frothing wand for frothing milk for lattes and cappuccinos, the automatic milk frothing system yields perfect foam for any of your coffeehouse drinks. It works by drawing milk out of a container (like a pint of milk or small pitcher), combines the milk with steam, and then froths the milk which then is deposited right into your coffee mug. So now you can be lazy and still have your froth too!
Simplicity is at the core of Magic Cappuccino Plus from Saeco. On the left side of the front panel, you'll see a column of buttons and indicator lights. From top to bottom, these stand for the Illy pod brewing button, the Illy pod brewing ready light, the coffee brew button, the temperature ready light, and the steam button. Each button has an icon next
What Others Say
Good, with a caveat
Have had this machine for about 3 months now. It makes very good espresso and capuccino. Very flavorful and pretty easy to make. However, I primarily drink capuccinos and I find that the milk does not come out hot enough. It is very frothy, but only lukewarm. The manual suggests heating the cups, which I have done, but no real improvement. Instead, after making the coffee, I have to microwave it for about 20 seconds afterward. It reduces the froth a little, but the coffee is then hot.
