| 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. |
