Pros

  • Brass boiler holds temperature noticeably better than the old aluminum Classics
  • Bigger boiler capacity means stronger steam and more back-to-back drinks
  • Same 17-gauge stainless body and 58mm group the mod community has upgraded for decades
  • Factory-tuned 9-bar OPV so shots pull correctly out of the box

Cons

  • Still no PID from the factory - temperature surfing or a mod kit required
  • Single boiler means waiting between brewing and steaming
  • $50-100 premium over the outgoing Evo Pro for the same workflow
  • Small drip tray fills fast
