What it does well
- Commercial 58mm portafilter — the same size as cafe machines
- Metal build, highly repairable, huge mod community
- Holds its value and rarely needs replacing
Where it falls short
- Steeper learning curve than a Breville
- Stock steam wand is basic (a common first upgrade)
- Single boiler — wait between brewing and steaming
