What Do the Best Coffee Espresso Machines Have in Common?
How do Espresso Machines Work?
An espresso machine functions with a water supply, ground coffee beans, and employs a portafilter to hold the coffee grounds securely. The coffee grounds are compacted through tamping, and the machine heats water to around 195-205°F (90-96°C). The water is then forced through the tightly packed grounds using high pressure, resulting in the extraction of soluble compounds, oils, and flavors, producing a concentrated liquid known as espresso.
The espresso collects in a cup placed beneath the portafilter, and if desired, the machine may also have a steam wand for steaming and frothing milk to create drinks like cappuccinos or lattes.
What are the Different Types of Espresso Machines?
Manual Espresso Machines:
Manual espresso machines represent the oldest and most traditional coffee maker types. These machines can take on various styles, such as the classic Moka pot or lever-styled designs. With the latter, users exert pressure on the lever to extract water through the coffee grounds, giving them full control over the brewing process.
Semi-Automatic Espresso Machines:
Semi-automatic machines offer some manual control over the brewing process, such as starting and stopping the extraction. They use a pump to deliver water to the coffee grounds, but the user needs to grind the coffee and tamp it into the portafilter manually.
Automatic Espresso Machines:
Automatic machines handle the water flow and extraction time automatically, but the user still needs to grind and tamp the coffee. They typically have programmable settings for shot volumes and extraction times.
Super-Automatic Espresso Machines:
These machines automate almost the entire espresso-making process, including grinding, tamping, and brewing. They often have built-in milk frothers for making cappuccinos and lattes with a touch of a button as well.

Your Magia's Milk System is designed to Heat, Froth and Pour milk at the ideal drinking temperature to avoid scalding. It froths milk at an average temp of 140 °F to create the optimum milk-foam texture and taste. Most milk-based coffee drinks are poured a little cooler than espresso, due to the cooler temperature of milk.
How can I keep my drinks hot?
To keep your drinks hot and enjoyable, simply store your cups on the warming plate on top of the Magia, so they are warm when your drink is poured.You can also customize the temperature through the Coffee Customization Icon.

Use the descaling tablets provided with your purchase, or alternatively add a cup of vinegar to the water tank.

You will need to empty the cup or the Drip Tray more than once during the cycle to prevent water from overflowing.
