The long awaited Magic Comfort Plus has all of the features of the Magic de
Luxe models, but with the addition of a multi-function digital display,
temperature control and the Rapid Steam System! This is the most advanced and
featured packed machine on the market for the price.
Simply press the coffee button and the machine automatically grinds your coffee
beans, places them into the internal brewing unit, then dispenses freshly
brewed, rich and favorable coffee into your cup. The Magic Comfort Plus allows
you to choose the volume, strength and temperature of your coffee at the press
of a button!
Digital Display and Control: From the control panel, you can: adjust the brewing
temperature of the machine; set the machine for pre-infusion (pre-soaking of the
coffee grounds); set the machines' standby time; set the machine for 'pre-grind'
so that when you activate the brew button, the coffee has already been ground
and it brews right away; set the language; set the machine's water hardness
level monitor; view the number of cups brewed; set the energy saving mode; and
more. All the controls are located in one convenient place on the front of the
machine. They are laid out to be easy to understand and easy to use.
The machine is equipped with sensors that tell when the water reservoir is empty
or the coffee bean hopper has run out of coffee beans. If an important component
is out of place, such as the drip tray, service door, brew group, or grounds
dump box, the display will prompt you to refill the water tank or beans, or to
check the component in question. Set the machine to brew a short espresso, long
espresso, and cafe Suisse with the help of three different brewing buttons.
Programming is a snap: simply press and hold the button you want to program. As
the machine starts brewing, you will see the display change to Programming .
When you release the button, the machine will use whatever volume of brew
produced during the programming as the preset volume for subsequent times that
button is pressed.
Want a single? Press any of the three brewing buttons once. Want a double? Just
double click the button and the machine automatically sets up to brew two shots.
No wonder these machines are called super.
Crema Coffee Center: Simply make a small adjustment to the coffee grinder to
make the coffee grounds more course. This in turn will allow the water to flow
more freely through the coffee grounds as required for cafe crème. The result is
a wonderfully aromatic and flavor-rich coffee that is smooth and not as intense
as espresso, and it will be topped with a layer of crema. Many of our customers
are enjoying the use of their machine for this purpose in addition to espresso.
Cafe crème is a good replacement for most coffee makers (like a drip coffee
maker), because in about 35 seconds, the machine will brew about 8 ounces of
fresh pressure-brewed coffee without the mess. Another benefit is that this
brewing method requires far less ground coffee per serving thus saving you
money! Many refer to cafe crème as Swiss brewed coffee as it is very popular
among Swiss consumers.
Rapid Steam Technology and Hot Water Dispenser: The Magic Comfort Plus features
Saeco's patented Rapid-Steam® system, so there is almost no wait time to get
ample steaming ability for building a first rate cappuccino or latte beverage.
Where non-Rapid Steam super autos leave you waiting 45 seconds or longer for the
steam pressure to build up, the Magic Comfort Plus has you ready to go in 10
seconds or less. The boiler and Rapid-Steam® system delivers ample, long running
steam for building multiple drinks. The optional milk froth-aider tip supplied
with the machine is specially designed to insure virtually perfect foam for
cappuccino or lattes, even if you are a novice. The steam wand is located on the
left front of the machine on a swivel joint, which allows you to place either a
12, 20, or 32 oz. frothing pitcher underneath.
As long as the machine is turned on hot water can be instantly dispensed from
the steam wand. This is a nice feature for teas, hot chocolate, or other hot
beverages that need hot water. Many users make a shot of espresso then add hot
water from the steam wand to make a popular Americano espresso drink. To release
water from the steam wand, just push the instant hot water button on the control
panel.
Advanced Brew Group: The Magic Comfort Plus uses an advanced automatic brewing
system. Acting as the heart of the super automatic espresso machine, it accepts
freshly ground coffee from the built-in coffee grinder. It tamps the coffee
perfectly, pre-soaks the grounds with a special pre-infusion step (described
below), brews the coffee, and then dumps the used coffee grounds into the
internal dump box. Once the brewing cycle has been completed, it resets itself
for the next cup of coffee. The brew group is removable so cleaning and
maintenance can be done.
Opti-Dose System: This system allows you to adjust the amount of ground coffee
the grinder dispenses into the brew system for each cup of coffee. You may set
the coffee dosage between 6 and 9 grams. The average dose of ground coffee to
make a shot of espresso is 7 grams. When you push the coffee brew button the
grinder will automatically begin grinding the amount of grams you have specified
(from 6 - 9 grams), and then places the ground coffee into the brew group before
brewing begins. Being able to adjust the dosage allows you to make a stronger or
weaker espresso (or cup of coffee) without altering the amount of water.
Pre-Infusion Cycle: The two-step pre-infusion cycle moistens and conditions the
ground coffee, which maximizes flavor extraction to increase the thick crema on
your espresso. The Magic Comfort Plus accomplishes this by infusing (or
presoaking) the fresh coffee grounds with a dash of hot water for 2 seconds.
Thereafter, it completes the brewing process by infusing the remainder of the
predetermined water through the coffee grounds. The result is a superior cup of
espresso or coffee.
Conical Burr Grinder - Built In: A high quality conical burr grinder is built
into the Magic Comfort Plus that has eight different fineness level settings
allowing you to grind coarser for cafe crème drinks, or finer for the perfect
espresso shots. The high quality tempered steel burrs built into the machine
will last a long time and will need little or no maintenance. The built-in
coffee bean hopper holds over a pound of coffee beans. The hopper has a lid to
help keep the coffee beans fresh.
Special Funnel for Pre-Ground Coffee: Got a houseguest who can't drink
caffeinated drinks, or you just want a coffee or espresso in the evening, but
you want to still get to bed? This machine features a bypass chute that allows
easy coffee changes between normal (caffeinated) coffee, and decaf or flavored
ground coffee via a separate funnel on the top of the machine. As a result, you
don’t have to swap the coffee beans each time to another variety, which is
difficult and time consuming. Simply pour in pre-ground coffee of your choice
and the machine uses that instead of the coffee beans already in the machine.
This feature is perfect for those in your home or office that want a variety of
specialized coffees, and the convenience of a super automatic coffee center.
82 ounce Built-in Water Reservoir: This machine makes it easy to refill the
water reservoir by allowing you to add water while it's still on the machine, or
by removing it and filling it at the water tap. The reservoir has an easy grip
handle making removal easy. Clear tinted ABS plastic gives you an indication of
the amount of water remaining. The Magic Comfort Plus cannot be plumbed to a
water line.
Heated Cup Stacking Surface: A convenient cup-stacking surface is located on top
of the machine, and it is an active heating system that can be turned on or off.
Warm cups are desired in making perfect espresso because you're dealing with
very small volumes of liquid, which can be cooled off rapidly if poured into a
cold cup.
Adjustable Coffee Dispensing Nozzle: Small 2 oz. espresso cups up to large
coffee cups 4" in height can easily fit under the adjustable coffee-dispensing
nozzle. It moves up or down to accept many cup sizes and can be moved during the
brewing process.
Internal Dump Box for Used Coffee Grounds: The internal dump box catches all of
the spent coffee grounds left over from the brewing process. Its large capacity
will hold up to 40 spent coffee portions. It can be removed for disposal and
easy cleaning.
Slide Out Cup Tray and Drip Pan: A single drawer slides out from the front of
the machine. It contains the cup tray and drip pan. It’s made of durable plastic
and cleans easily in the kitchen sink with water and mild detergent.
Powerful Pump System: Like all Saeco super automatics, the Magic Comfort Plus
features a powerful vibratory pump rated at 15BAR of pressure. The machine only
requires a steady 9BAR to produce first-rate espresso; the extra pressure is
held in reserve, as it were, to ensure the machine's pressure can plow through
the finest grinds and keep the pressure extremely even throughout the drink
building process. One of the crucial things to good espresso is an even
extraction rate, and the Saeco's pump delivers.
Swivel Base: The bottom of the machine is equipped with a swivel base that
allows you to turn the entire unit for easy access to the sides and back. This
makes cleaning and service easier.
Body Construction: The grinder housing is made of durable plastic, and features
slip-resistant, rubber feet.
Accessories: This machine includes a cleaning brush for the coffee grinder, a
brew group maintenance tool, and detailed instructions on how to get the most
out of your machine, and an instructional video.
