Quick decision tips
- If you want one appliance and limited counter space, prefer the machine with a built-in grinder — knowing you may upgrade the grinder later.
- If you care about shot consistency and lighter roasts, prioritize PID / faster heat systems.
- If you drink mostly milk drinks, check steam power and whether you will wait between brewing and steaming on a single boiler.
