What You Want To Know — the good and the ugly
Let me preface — I love the Magia and you can read my initial review at the bottom. However, ours, at least, has a serious flaw that has remained unaddressed. I wrote the Magia folks about the insane amount of waste the Magia produces because coffee spills all over the inside of the machine, way more than is actually used to make coffee. I wrote the Magia folks and sent them pictures.I quickly got a cheerful reply that answered none of my concerns. In essence, they said it was simply a matter of proper adjustment. Well, I followed every step of the instruction video, to no avail. The Magia continues to blow coffee grounds all over the inside of the machine, necessitating a major cleanup every day. Maybe we have a faulty brewer, maybe the design simply isn’t optimized, but 2/3 of all ground coffee going to waste is really unacceptable.—— Below the initial review,If you ever wanted one of those espresso/specialty coffee machines that’s somewhere between low-end (from low $100s) and high-end (thousands), the Magia fits the bill. We’ve had ours for a month and a half, and use it multiple times every day. So here are some of my comments and impressions.First, this is NOT a high-end coffee machine and not even a Mr Coffee replacement. It’s also not for those who drink coffee by the 32-ounce tumbler mug, for the Magia can barely accommodate a US-size tall cup. The Magia CAN make regular coffee (“Americano”), but it’s really for making Italian style specialty coffee drinks: Espressos (very strong), Restrettos (super-strong), Macchiatos, Cappuccinos, Lattes, and other coffee/milk/foamed milk combinations.How well does it work? Very well, but there’s a bit of a learning curve. The instructions that come with it show good effort (the basic setup steps even printed on the box it comes in), but not extremely detailed. Watching the instruction videos helps.The elegant touch screen interface (likely Android-based) makes everything quite simple. You tap to select one of the programmed drinks as is, you can finetune each drink in how strong, how much, how much of what, temperature, etc. Each member of the household can personalize their own favorite drinks. You’ll learn to love the various ways foamy, frothy milk can make for delightful coffee drinks. The machine also contains recipes that include other flavors that you put in manually.The Magia is quite complex, and it cleans and maintains itself. It makes all sorts of preparation and operating sounds, hissing, steaming and disposing of waste water. You need to learn where to place a dish for waste. The Magia alerts when the coffee or water supply is low (calling it a “shortage”), when the coffee grounds waste container (it presses the grounds into little pucks) needs to be emptied, or when the machine should be “descaled” (a process that takes over half an hour). It does most very well, but it can get confused, alerting to no beans when there still are plenty, or sometimes just spitting water instead of milk (reboot).There is considerable waste; a lot of the ground coffee piles up inside the machine, so fairly frequent cleaning is necessary.The way milk is handled is not elegant. You put the milk into a cup next to the machine and insert a flexible tube to suck the milk. Apparently the newer white version of the Magia comes with a nice milk tumbler with the proper tube attachment, but that’s not separately available (yet) for the black version.Cup size is an issue. The coffee/milk dispenser can be adjusted up and down, but even the tallest it goes isn’t enough for many US cups. And the Magia doesn’t tell you what size cup it needs for a drink. Given its sophisticated computer interface, that info should be added. You can, however, stop dispensing during the pouring.Overall, way more fun and way more useful than we expected. It’s complex, though, and time will tell whether the Magia (or its fascination) will hold up.
