Pump System: The Magic Cappuccino features a powerful pump rated at 15 bars (217.6 psi) of pressure. The Italian coffee making tradition requires steady pressure to produce first class espresso and coffee. Only in such a way can the water plow through the finest coffee grounds, for the perfect extraction.

Pressurized Filter holder: The Magic Cappuccino uses a pressurized filter holder that is both easy to use as well as being very forgiving. The patented filter holder ensures a great extraction of espresso by pressurizing the brewing chamber, thereby creating the perfect espresso brewing elements. This is accomplished through a small spring-loaded valve located below the filter basket. The valve remains closed until the pressure builds. After a few seconds the pressure is enough to push open the valve and release the espresso. The high pressure forces more flavor and aroma out of the coffee, making a fine espresso with an excellent crema.

Boiler: The Magic Cappuccino features a durable stainless steel boiler and heating element. The steel resists corrosion and ensures the longer life span of the machine. According to its use, it is recommended that the machine is decalcified every 45 days to maintain the internal components in excellent working condition.

Pod Capability: The Magic Cappuccino comes with a special filter basket and a pod adapter that allows to use Easy Serving Espresso (E.S.E.) pods. This enables the machine to handle either ground or single serve, prepackaged shots, called pods.

Plug-in Pannarello: Saeco's Plug-in Pannarello frothing attachment is designed to make frothing quick and easy. The Pannarello is easy to remove and is made of two parts that can be disassembled for thorough cleaning. The wand is made of stainless steel and swivels to accommodate different sized pitchers or mugs.

Hot Water Dispenser: If hot water is needed for Hot Chocolate, Tea or Americanos, simply turn on the brew switch and open the steam knob.

Bon temp® Cup Warming Surface: Warm cups are essential for great tasting espresso. The Magic Cappuccino can hold comfortably two cappuccino cups or four espresso cups on top of the machine. The surface is made of highly conductive aluminum and electrically heated when the main power switch is turned on.

Removable Water Reservoir: The Magic Cappuccino features a large removable 68 oz water reservoir. Being removable it allows for easy cleaning and can be refilled at a faucet. It is unique in that it is removed from the side of the machine. This comes in handy when working in small spaces, such as under counters, where lifting the reservoir is impossible. The reservoir is transparent, allowing the water level to be viewed at any time.

Housing and Construction: The body of the Magic Cappuccino is made of durable metal and covered with a resistant ABS plastic housing. Both the drip tray and pan are made out of heavy duty plastic and are removable for easy cleaning.
