Pros

  • Commercial-grade, service-friendly build with a 'bulletproof' Reddit reputation
  • Dual boilers with to-the-degree PID control let you brew and steam simultaneously
  • Adjustable soft pre-infusion noticeably improves shot consistency
  • Narrow 9.8-inch footprint squeezes a true dual boiler onto tight counters

Cons

  • Utilitarian, boxy looks - more appliance than showpiece
  • Vibration pump is louder than rotary-pump competitors
  • No flow control or pressure profiling despite the price
  • Limited cup clearance for taller mugs and travel cups
