What we like

  • Beverage types: Espresso
  • Machine type: Semi-automatic espresso
  • Pressure / extraction: 15 bar pump, 9 bar extraction with low-pressure pre-infusion
  • Milk frothing: Automatic steam wand with 3 milk temps and 3 foam levels
  • Water tank: 1.9 L (64 fl oz) removable
  • Heavy apps and multitasking stay smooth for the kind of work people buy this class of device for.

Keep in mind

  • Requires counter space, fresh beans or grounds, and regular cleaning of the wand and hopper.
  • Semi-automatic workflows take practice compared with pod or fully automatic machines.
  • A small share of units seem to need resets, firmware updates, or a warranty swap over time.
