Takes a while to dial in all the settings
Detailed Commentary
Ordered a Silver Saeco Magic de Luxe on sale for $599 from Costco. Apparently they sold out of them, because they sent me a Magic Comfort Plus at no additional charge and with their complements! Only real difference between the two machines is the digital readout, but the retail price for the Magic Comfort is $999. Machine warms up in no time and makes a decent shot. Need to play around with all the settings. There is little mess and the machine warms up so quick, I find myself using more often then just in the morning.
Buying Experience
Fantastic.Ordered from Costco online. They had the machine to me in less than a week and I know if I have any problems I can bring back to my local store and they will replace.
