What people like
This espresso machine is highly praised for its exceptional build quality and precise temperature control, making it a strong contender for espresso enthusiasts who prioritize shot quality. Its compact design and classic aesthetics are also frequently highlighted. Reviewers often note that despite being a single boiler machine, it delivers consistent and excellent espresso, justifying its position in the prosumer market.
Pros
Exceptional Build Quality: Made with high-grade materials, including an E61 group head and a stainless steel boiler, ensuring durability and a premium feel.
Precise Temperature Control: The integrated PID controller allows for accurate adjustment of brew and steam temperatures, enhancing shot consistency and often doubling as a shot timer.
Compact Footprint: Its narrower design makes it suitable for kitchens with limited counter space without compromising on performance.
Excellent Espresso: Users consistently report that it pulls outstanding espresso shots with rich flavor and quality.
Adjustable Brew Pressure: An easily accessible screw allows users to fine-tune brew pressure.
Generous Drip Tray: The drip tray has a large capacity, reducing the frequency of emptying.
Fast Heat Up: Features a unique heating cycle that allows it to reach brewing temperature in approximately 10 minutes.
Cons
The primary drawback is its single boiler design, which means it cannot brew espresso and steam milk simultaneously, requiring a waiting period and specific workflow for milk-based drinks.
Some users have reported that water can spray out of the drip tray when the shot is stopped.
The machine comes with a plastic tamper that is often considered unusable, requiring users to purchase a separate, higher-quality one.
The entire top of the machine needs to be removed to fill the water tank, and some users note the machine turns off completely on low water rather than providing a warning indicator.
