The verdict

Why it scored a 76

The classic 'next step up' home-barista machine — a commercial E61-style group and a 15.5-pound stainless body built to last, with a proper steam wand for real latte art. Quality scores an exceptional 92, but value and features both take a hit next to the Barista Express, which costs less and adds a built-in grinder.
