What we liked

  • + Commercial-grade group and portafilter feel solid and last for years
  • + Simple, repairable design with widely available replacement parts
  • + Powerful steam wand handles milk drinks with café-like texture

Trade-offs

  • - Single boiler means waiting between brewing and steaming temperatures
  • - Unforgiving to beginners, since there is no temperature assistance out of the box
