What we liked
- + Lower cost than the Plus while keeping the same quick heat-up system
- + Manual steam wand gives you full control once you learn milk texturing
- + Compact stainless body suits small counters and dorm-style setups
Trade-offs
- - Milk frothing is fully manual, so there is a learning curve for latte art
- - Needs a separate grinder, which adds to the real starting budget
