Other incredible highlights on the Magnifica XS is the water filtration which is super convenient when it comes to making coffee, easy to use manual controls, easy removable drip tray and a super neat cup warmer. 

Easily control the strength of each shot using the easy to use dial on the front of the machine.

Built-In Coffee Grinder Love

Also worth noting is that this machine has a built in coffee grinder that isn’t too loud and amounts to a low and perhaps pleasing rumble.

If you’re that type of person that prefers to use pre-ground beans, that’s perfectly fine as well – however, having your own built-in coffee grinder is not a fact to be taken lightly.  

In other words, its kind of a big deal…For instance, everyone knows that to make good espresso you need to grind your own beans fresh using a burr coffee grinder, but in this case the grinder comes with the unit so that’s a major plus!  

The hopper for the grinder is big enough to fit approximately eight to nine ounces of your favorite fresh whole coffee beans.

There’s a slot at the top of the machine that even comes with a built in measuring spoon to allow you to scoop out your freshly ground beans and make your brew instantly!

Basic Operation Of The Magnifica

If you are new to espresso machines and starting up your Magnifica XS espresso machine for the first time, you may think there is a problem due to a delay, but no, simply press the button on the back of the machine in the upper left hand corner of the display, while waiting for about 30 seconds.  

The delay is quite normal and is just the machine preparing your water.  It’s best to wait through this process and take a few deep breaths as delicious espresso will be incoming shortly.  

If you don’t want to use the drip tray its best to have an extra cup in handy waiting nearby.  

Often times, when you start the expresso coffee machine up from a cold state, there’s usually about one to two ounces that flush out of the nozzles, in order to purge the system with hot water.

For maintenance concerns, its highly recommended to not use any type of coffee beans that have any sort of coating on it (for instance caramel or chocolate – as tasty as it sounds), so just stick to any type of bean so long as its not candy-coated, you could say.  

To get the hang of brewing the perfect cup of coffee or espresso with the Magnifica, you’re going to have to play around with the machine a bit to see what tastes best.  

It will take time, but this machine is a beauty and certainly worth the small effort it takes to familiarize yourself with it.  – 4.5 STARS!
