Our Methodology
We pull 50+ shots on each machine over 3 weeks, measuring extraction temperature stability, pressure consistency, and grind-to-cup time. We taste-test with medium-roast single-origin beans and evaluate milk frothing quality, cleaning ease, and build materials. No manufacturer has editorial influence.
