Saeco USA Magic Deluxe Black Coffee Machine (Refurbished)

After contemplating on purchasing this coffe maker for a long time, I finally did. I was first introduced to this product in Europe and was immediately drawn to the quality and appearance of this machine. My husband and I are coffee gourmets and absolutely love this product. It performs as stated, is easy to operate, to include set-up. Maintenance is a breeze and you wind up with the perfect cup of coffee any time. I do recommend purchasing a maintenance agreement with this machine, since the grinder can wear out, especially if you use oily coffee beans. A total win/win situation. We are very pleased with our purchase.

After experiencing a cup of coffee from this machine at my brother in law's home, I was hooked immediately. I have never tasted a smoother cup of coffee, and the layer of creme topped it off perfectly. Not to sound boorish, but being from Seattle, the Capital of Coffee, I am experienced. I knew I had to have one. I must say that when I received it, I was unneasy to find that it had been refurbished, and that it was only garaunteed for only 6 months. Hopfully, no problems. My brother said that they had had grinder problems also, but were told by the serviceman that the reason was oily beans. Since they changed to a less oily bean, they have had no problems. So to any new owners of this wonderful coffee maker, avoid oily beans.

We bought this as a replacement for our longtime trusted Magic DeLuxe that finally gave out after years of service. These machines are called "The Machine Of Happiness" among the group of friends we keep who own them. If you're an inveterate coffee drinker as are my wife and I, you really can't live without one of these in your kitchen/pantry. The Magic line from Saeco is truly the benchmark for home use "SuperAutomatic" coffee machines. This is our second Magic DeLuxe, and we have a Magic Comfort Plus at our summer home. It would take much too long to extol the virtues of the Saeco Magic series of coffee makers here, but if you check around the web, you'll find that there are 1000s of satisfied owners who absolutely love their machines. (We take our original Magic Deluxe on vacations with us.) Some of the highlights are 15-bar (220psi) extraction, water delivered at 195-197F to minimize extraction of harsh compounds, adjustable grind (true burr grinder), adjustable dosing, power saver/instant on setting, and on and on. If you're looking for "the" coffee maker to have, this is the one.
