How this ranking works
Models are ordered by how many of four fields they publish (boiler type, portafilter size, wattage, boiler volume),
then by price. It is a transparency ranking: a machine that publishes nothing cannot be compared, however good it is.
What to look for in this range
- 58 mm portafilter if you plan to buy baskets or a bottomless portafilter.
- A PID rather than a thermostat.
- Parts availability for the pump and group gasket.
