Saeco
redesigned the Magic Comfort Plus to expand upon all the great features of the
original Magic Comfort Plus. The machine front has polished chrome accents, a
revamped control panel and improved selection buttons and control knobs for a
classy modern exterior. A backlit, light gray digital readout monitors functions
and status to complete the polished new look.
All the great choices are
still there on the control panel. Start up begins with pressing the coffee
button. The automatic coffee grinder starts grinding to your specifications and
brews and fills your cup with rich, delicious coffee at the right temperature,
volume and strength. Just like you programmed it from the control panel. Whether
you use it at home or in the new Magic Comfort Plus will give you years of
excellent, reliable service.
The Magic Comfort Plus
features a “button to coffee” approach to brewing espresso or coffee drinks in
seconds; just press a button for espresso or coffee. An easy-to-read, backlit
digital display will guide you completely through the espresso and coffee making
process. The control panel also gives you unprecedented control over the
machine. You can adjust the quantity of coffee and water for each cup and the
coffee temperature too. You can have a coffee bar in your home or office without
taking a lot of counter space because the Magic Comfort Plus is compact and it
easily tucks under most overhead cabinets.
The Magic Comfort Plus has
been equipped with the coveted Saeco Rapid-Steam®Technology, an advanced
system that reduces the normal waiting time between coffee brewing and steam
output to just a few seconds. That means fantastic cappuccinos and lattes in no
time in the home or office. Turn the steam knob and you'll instantly have lots
of steam for all of your favorite coffee house drinks.

Detailed Product Features:
Completely Automatic
Espresso & Coffee Brewing
Love
espresso but have a busy schedule? Hate to clean up? This is your machine. Just
press the button and the Magic Comfort Plus will automatically grind your coffee
beans, and dispense freshly brewed, rich and flavorful coffee into your cup.
This machine allows you to choose the volume, strength, and temperature of your
coffee by simply pressing buttons on the control panel. Then it cleans up and is
ready for the next order, in less than 30 seconds.

Utilize the enormous flexibility of the this
machine’s programming options by varying the water volume up to 12 ounces and
the ability to use up to 9 grams of ground coffee per brewing cycle. By
experimenting with the water volume and grams of ground coffee you can fine-tune
your coffee and easily program these parameters into the memory. Take it one
step further by programming the coffee temperature for the ultimate cup of
coffee. However, feel free to utilize the factory settings as well if you wish.
Multi-Function Digital
Screen
It’s
good to keep tabs on your machine. With a quick glance at the digital screen,
you’ll see all the functions and options. Do you want to brew one cup or two? Is
your machine in the automatic rinsing or cleaning cycle? Is it grinding or
brewing? It’s all on the readout display. This versatile machine is also

Japanese, Portuguese, or Dutch.

you brew in a day.
Set the machine to turn
itself off after 15 minutes or up to 3 hours of non-use.
Set a warning signal
telling you when the machine needs to be cleaned.
Select
the automatic rinsing and de-scaling function. (Good maintenance insures top
working order and prevents mineral deposits and lime scale from accumulating
in the boiler and brewing systems, a major cause of mal-functions!)

Plus many other features.
Hot Water Dispenser &
Rapid-Steam®Technology
We’re all steamed up about
Saeco's patented Rapid-Steam® system! Turn the steam knob and have instant steam
you want for cappuccinos or lattes. Other systems can have you waiting up to 45
seconds for the steam function to be ready but not with Rapid-Steam®;
you’ll have consistent steam for repeated drinks.
An optional frothing tip for
adding milk froth comes with the machine and delivers perfect foam every time
for lattes or cappuccinos, even if you have never foamed milk before! The steam
wand is located on the left-front of the machine and it accommodates frothing
pitchers up to 32 oz. If you need instant hot water for making tea, hot cocoa,
or Americanos, the hot water feature is available at the press of a button.
3 Pre-Set Buttons for Cup
Size Selection
Getting a great cup of your
favorite coffee is as easy as one, two, three. Press a button for a single or
double shot of espresso. You can brew a small, medium, or large cup of coffee
and vary the strength to your taste. Just press the button and within 30-40
seconds you will be enjoying a perfect beverage.
Espresso or Fresh Brewed
Coffee By The Cup
Ready to move to connoisseur
status? Then try making a Café Créme! It’s simple with the Magic Comfort Plus’
ability to adjust for the coarseness of the ground, allowing you to brew a Café
Créme, often referred to as Swiss brewed coffee for the country that made it
popular. Here’s the difference. Espresso uses a finer ground bean to create a
dense pack that restricts the water flow through the grounds, hence the very
strong, intense flavor. It also takes a little longer to brew, anywhere between
15 to 20 seconds for 1.5 ounces.
For a Café Créme, (or crema
coffee) a courser ground is needed, a simple adjustment on this great machine.
This coarser ground allows for more water to pass through faster, resulting in a
frothy layer of coffee that floats on the top: the crema. Aromatic and rich, it
is not as intense a coffee as the espresso but equally delicious. This feature
also makes the Magic Comfort Plus a natural replacement for traditional coffee
makers.
Special Pre-Ground Coffee
Funnel
This
option allows you to pour pre-ground coffee into a funnel that is accessed by
lifting a small lid on top of the machine. This feature is perfect when there is
someone in the crowd who wants a decaffeinated espresso and there are only
caffeine espresso beans in the machine, or if you wish to sample other blends of
coffee. After making a cup of coffee with the pre-ground option, the machine
automatically resets back to the beans held in the machine. It’s all up to
taster’s choice.
Coffee Strength Function
The Magic Comfort Plus has a
feature that will allow you to adjust the amount of coffee to be ground for each
individual cup. Adjust it from 6 grams (- sign) to 9 grams (+ sign) to change
the strength of the coffee. 7 grams of ground coffee is the usual amount for
espresso, 9 grams is used for coffee.
Special Pre-infusion Brew
System Cycle
Pre-infusion allows you to get maximum flavor from the brewing process. This
advanced system takes the newly ground coffee beans from the internal Magic
Comfort Plus coffee grinder and correctly tamps the coffee. Next comes
“pre-infusion.” To optimize the flavor extraction, a special step injects a
little hot water into the freshly ground coffee, in order to soak it and let it
swell up. This is done just before the actual brew cycle commences. The grounds
are pre-soaked and then brewed before being discarded automatically into the
internal dump box. The machine then resets itself for the next brewing cycle.
Additional Product Features,
Maintenance & Information:
Professional Quality Coffee
Grinder
Proper
grinding is at the core of excellent coffee production. The Magic Comfort Plus
has a built-in, conical type burr grinder, the same type used by the
professionals. Pushing the brew button sets the cycle in motion with the grinder
measuring out the correct amount of beans for the selection made and then
grinding it to specifications.
Conical
burr grinders are made up of a cone shaped grinding wheel that turns slow enough
not to burn the coffee beans, (a problem with low cost grinders). The heavy-duty
steel of the grinding wheel promotes a life of long service and that’s strong
enough to resist damage from the little stones that sometimes slip in with the
beans. This durable construction is consistent with top quality machines and
little or no maintenance or service is needed.
Built-in 82 Ounce Water
Tank
The Magic
Comfort Plus water reservoir can easily be refilled while it is still on the
machine or by removing it with the easy-grip handle and filling it at the
kitchen tap. The reservoir is made of clear ABS plastic so checking the water
level is a breeze. When the water runs low, the digital display will remind you
when to refill it.
For Perfect Coffee
Extraction - a Powerful Pump
Delivering a maximum pressure
of 15 bars, this on board water pump pulls the maximum flavor from the coffee
beans.
Coffee Bean Storage Hopper
& Internal Dump Box
Keeping ½
pounds of beans fresh and ready for grinding is the built in, lidded coffee bean
hopper. This large capacity allows up to 30 cups of coffee to be prepared before
refilling is needed.
When the
coffee grounds are spent, the machine delivers them to the internal dump box,
which can hold up to 30 expended coffee portions. It’s easy to remove and clean.
Cup Count
Inquiring minds are dying to
know how many cups of espresso you’ve brewed in a day or a week or a month. It’s
fun to see the number of drinks your machine has produced, but it also serves to
alert you to maintenance and even financial data if it’s being used in an
office. Just how many cups of coffee are your employees drinking each day?
Heavy Duty Heating System
One of the reasons the Magic
Comfort Plus is great for anything from small offices to entertaining many
guests in your home is its durable 1250 watt boiler.
Adjustable Beverage
Dispensing Nozzle
This coffee dispensing nozzle
moves up or down to accept cup sizes up to 4 inches high.
Heated Cup Stacking Surface
Located on
the top of this machine is a heated surface made of non-stick metal that allows
you to stack up those espresso cups and keep them toasty. Using the on-screen
functions, you can turn this feature on or off.
Swivel Base
Getting
into your espresso machine for cleaning and maintenance is important for the
long life of your machine. The swivel base makes it easy to access all sides of
your machine to remove the water tank and open the side service door.
Cleaning & Maintenance of
Components
In order to keep the inside
of your machine healthy, your machine must be cleaned periodically. Scale
buildup from naturally occurring minerals in your water can build up on
sensitive components like the inside of the boiler, which left unchecked can
cause considerable damage to the machine. By descaling your machine every
two-three months, your machine will last for many trouble-free years. Saeco
espresso machine cleaner can be purchased from us or by calling the support
number in your user guide.
The machine will tell you
when it’s time to activate the self-clean system by displaying a message on the
digital screen. After adding our cleaner, just press the clean button. The
machine will take it from there. Descaling and general cleaning is important
even if you have a sophisticated water filter system, and especially if you use
well water.
Used coffee grounds are
collected in the grounds dump box, which can hold up to 30 spent portions of
coffee before emptying is required, and a message will appear on screen to let
you know it needs to be emptied. Waste water left over from the rinsing cycles
is stored in removable drip tray that simply pulls out from the machine and
reinserts in seconds. All components such as the used grounds container, drip
tray, and water tank can be hand washed with regular soap and water.
Removable Internal Brew
System – Cleanup Is Easy
The patented removable
internal brewing system (brew group) has been tested millions of times
throughout the world. It only takes a simple gesture for it to be quickly and
easily removed from the machine and cleaned. Just rinse it under running water
to remove all traces of dirt and coffee residues, which when left inside the
machine, change the flavor of the coffee and interfere with the correct
functioning of the brew group. In this way, the quality of the finest espresso
never alters.
Installation & Accessories
Plug it in
and the Magic Comfort Plus is ready to go. No fuss, no muss, no special plumbing
for water intake or discharge and no special electrical outlets are required.
Detailed instructions on the
optimum care and operation of your machine is included with the purchase along
with a brewing group maintenance tool, and a coffee grinder cleaning brush.
