Good points

Good Points

  • Excellent coffee temperature consistency score.
  • Although manual machines are more complicated and require more practice to make a good espresso, they allow for more customisation and control.
Bad points

Bad Points

  • Unit is light, need to have one hand on machine to stop it from moving on the bench when locking and unlocking the group handle
  • Supplied tamper is plastic and quite cheap, does not fit the group head evenly which makes it hard to get a proper tamper.
  • No milk jug supplied.
