What we like
- Italian build quality that feels every bit the prosumer price tag it carries
- Stepless micrometric adjustment gives genuinely fine control over espresso dialing
- Anti-clumping vibration technology measurably reduces static and clumping at the chute
- Digital timer dosing is fast and repeatable for daily multi-shot mornings
What we don't
- Not single-dose stock, and retention is real if you switch beans or roasts often
- Aftermarket single-dose conversion is possible but adds cost and complexity
- Premium price for a 55 mm burr set when 64 mm alternatives exist for less
