I love this machine. It was very difficult for me to convince myself to purchase it considering the price but I’m so glad I did. There’s a good variety of drinks to choose from though I really typically use about 5 of them depending upon what I’m in the mood for. I’m still playing with the size and intensity to see what I like best. I think the only thing I would change is to have a larger water reservoir. I use it so much, I feel like I have to fill it quite often.
The Magnifica Plus certainly lives up to it's name, producing a good variety of coffee types, each coming out perfectly, while allowing individualization for personal preferences.
This is my 3rd Magnifica over a period of 16 years. My other 2 machines lasted on the average of 8 years. This one has more electronic features, but I love it. The automatic milk frother is the best. My husband has always used cream in his coffee. But, with the automatic feature he has switched to whole milk, which is cheaper and less calories than cream. You can also program your favorite drinks and safe them to your profile. We love it so far. It's awesome!
Love, love, LOVE this machine. Makes perfect and delicious espresso, macchiato, lattes and cappuccinos. It works flawlessly so far and is super easy to use and clean.
This expresso machine is great. As the lone coffee drinker in the house. I love the convenience and easy cleaning. I make daily use of the machine. I would only ask for the temperature of the coffee to be a little higher. It help if I warm my cup some prior to making my coffee.
We had the Perfecta for over 10 years (and a few repairs). We absolutely loved it. We’re slowly getting adjusted to the Magnifica. We love all the upgraded options and personalization available. It’s been hard to find a setting/selection to duplicate the long and strong full cup we used to be able to get, but I’m sure we’ll figure it out eventually. So far, the machine and the experience with it as well as the coffee has all been excellent. Shipping took an extended period. But that’s been the only negative so far.
