A compact semi-automatic espresso machine with a 20-bar Italian pump, 1350W boiler, and a built-in pressure gauge so you can see when extraction is dialed in. The steam wand textures milk for cappuccinos and lattes, and the 34oz removable water tank handles multiple drinks before refilling. Stainless steel exterior, single and double shot baskets included. Aimed at home baristas who want better espresso than a pod machine without stepping up to a $500+ prosumer setup.
Pros
- Pressure gauge lets you actually see when extraction is in range
- Steam wand handles latte-grade microfoam, not just generic foam
- 34oz removable tank refills at the sink without moving the machine
- Stainless steel build looks cleaner on a counter than plastic competitors
Cons
- Plastic tamper that ships with it is too light and too small — most owners replace it within a week
- No built-in grinder, so you'll need to buy one or use pre-ground (which limits how good the espresso gets)
- Needs a cool-down between brewing and steaming or it goes into thermal protection
