Pros

  • +Makes great espresso
  • +Pleasure to use

Cons

  • โˆ’Inferior to df54
  • โˆ’Difference isn't negligible
  • โˆ’Does not make better coffee (compared to bambino)
โ€œcoming from 15 plus years experience with a SGP and a Breville Infuser/Dual Boiler and going to a DF54 I promise you the difference isn't negligible. It's transformative, not even the same drink.โ€
