Saeco Magic problem. The magnet rises when I fill the water tank off the machine but, it drops as soon as I make a cup of coffee. To clear, I have to remove the tank and reset the machine. Any help?

Hi,
what do you mean by "it drops" ? If it doesn't float anymore, you have to replace it. Remove the top cover of the small tube where the magnet floats, replace the floating magnet and replace the cover.
If the cover doesn't seat properly, glue it with a drop of silicone so you can remove it next time.
If the magnet floats but is not recognized by the inside detector (the small white block you can see inside the machine, in front of the magnet), it is probably because the magnetism has fainted with time. Replace it with a new one.
Hope that helps.

I'll make this more clear. Yes, it floats when I fill the tank with water and replace the tank back on the machine. I like 2 shots of coffee but, as soon as I press for coffee I watch the magnet float drop to the bottom (like it pulls it down) and I only get one cup due to an error message "fill water tank". I have to remove the tank and reset the machine in order to get another cup of coffee. This happens almost every time.
