IDEAL FOR

  • ·Mixed espresso and milk use
  • ·Programmable-dose users

NOT FOR

  • ·Maximum steam speed
  • ·Instant-on mornings
  • ·Manual flow profiling

DESIGN & ERGONOMICS

Excellent proportions, walnut touchpoints, barista lighting and a legible OLED. Independent testing found 17–21 minute true readiness and about 50 seconds to steam milk—slower than the headline suggests.

LONGEVITY

Promising serviceable architecture and good parts lineage, but it is newer than Silvia/GO and lacks their long ownership record.
