Buyer fit

Who this machine may suit

Worth considering if...

Less suitable if...

Unknown fields remain marked as not confirmed. Practical notes explain the field without turning it into a product verdict.

Introduced
2023

This is the model family's first market-release year, not the manufacturing year of an individual machine.

Machine category

This indicates the amount of manual preparation involved, not the quality of the result.

Boiler system
heat exchanger, 1 boiler

The boiler arrangement shapes the rhythm of brewing and steaming.

Heat-up time

Allow additional working room for the portafilter, water tank, and steam wand.

Weight

Weight matters if the machine needs to be moved to refill or clean around it.

Water tank
1.9 litres

Tank size affects refill frequency, but drink volume and cleaning water also matter.

Pump
vibration

Pump type can affect sound and installation options; no conclusion is shown when the type is unconfirmed.

Group
Redesigned E61-style group

The group is the assembly that delivers heated water through the coffee puck.

Selectable brew temperature
Yes

Temperature adjustment can help adapt extraction to different coffees.

Brew and steam together
Yes

Simultaneous operation can shorten a multi-drink milk workflow.

Built-in grinder
No

A machine without a built-in grinder needs a separate espresso-capable grinder.
