Economical use of counter space. Has wheels for added mobility. High clearance under portafilter, so you can fit just about any mug under there. Flat-tip wand looks sleek. All controls are on the front. Grinder is very quiet. Portafilter feels hefty and durable.Takes a few extra tries to get the grind dose just right. Portafilter is flat but not open-bottom. Coffee doesn’t tap out of the portafilter very easily.brand that’s had a place in every home kitchen I’ve ever had, even growing up.
This machine comes with a hefty and sleek flat-bottomed 58-millimeter portafilter, with two single-walled baskets for single shots, and two double-walled baskets for double shots. The flat bottom ensures you can rest it flat directly on your countertop, but it’s not an open-bottom portafilter. This one still has two little spouts on the bottom pointing directly downward.

Within a few seconds, I was pretty sure the grinder was going to overfill the basket, but I let it do its thing, trusting the little knob that this was a medium amount of coffee grounds for two shots. By the time it finished grinding, there was a small mountain inside the portafilter. I set about carefully nudging the grounds with the tamp to get them roughly distributed before tamping them down.
