Who it suits
- someone who already dials in shots and wants steady temperature and a proper steam wand
- milk drinks at home, where a good steam wand changes the result more than the brew group does
Who should skip it
- anyone without a grinder that steps fine enough for espresso (unless the machine has one built in): the machine cannot fix an uneven grind
- occasional use, because a machine like this rewards daily practice
The thing worth knowing
The usual rule of espresso is to spend on the grinder first: a modest machine with a good grinder tends to beat an expensive machine with a poor one.

What we have not done
We have not independently tested this product. The description above is compiled from the manufacturer’s published specification and from what the category demands, and it is written to tell you who the equipment suits rather than to sell it. Where we have no first-hand experience, we say so rather than inventing a star rating.
