What to check before buying

  1. Boiler type from the manufacturer. Retailer summaries mislabel heat exchangers as dual boilers.
  2. Pump and gasket part numbers. If the dealer cannot supply them, the machine is disposable.
  3. Portafilter size. Outside 58 mm the accessory market thins out quickly.
