What we like
- Factory PID at a price where most competitors make you buy an aftermarket kit
- Italian-made stainless boiler with a straightforward, repairable internal layout
- Genuinely compact without sacrificing a real commercial-style portafilter format
What we don't
- No pre-infusion stage, same manual-technique dependency as the Gaggia Classic line
- 57mm basket size means some 58mm aftermarket gear needs double-checking for fit
- Plain analog pressure gauge and basic switches feel utilitarian next to pricier machines
- Smaller owner community than Gaggia or Rancilio means fewer forum threads and slower parts sourcing
