The Magimix Robot cafe is a good quality machine that makes great expresso coffee. The main asset is the milk frothing system for very tastey late and cappacino. Beans are loaded in the top, has a lower level marker. The water tray is a little on the small side so if you drink alot of coffee or this is for a large number of people then you will be filling it several times a day. There are several warning lights which flash to tell you when something needs filling or emptying, this is sometimes anoying because you dont know exactly which so you have to check all options.
There are around 6 of us using our machine continually and daily and we have only had one problem since we got it 18 months ago, the frother broke and it had to be sent off to be fixed. This was a set fee of approx £90, the machine itself costs around £270-£300. We never clean or descale it, I know thats bad but it just shows it doesnt need any maintainance!!
