Customizing Your Coffee
The Magnifica S Express allows for extensive customization. You can adjust the coffee strength, length (short, medium, long), and temperature (piping hot, medium, or low). The manual steam wand enables you to create rich, creamy froth for lattes, cappuccinos, macchiatos, and flat whites. Simply turn the steam knob to activate the wand and froth your milk to perfection.
Maintenance
Regular cleaning and maintenance are crucial for the longevity and optimal performance of your espresso machine. This includes emptying the used coffee grounds container and drip tray daily, and cleaning the coffee spouts and steam wand after each use. Descaling should be performed periodically as indicated by the machine or as recommended in the full manual, typically based on water hardness and usage.
Note: Consumable accessories such as filters, lubricants, and testing strips are not included with renewed products and may need to be purchased separately.
