Boiler Performance
6.8 /10
The thermoblock heating system delivers rapid warm-up times, but it struggles with temperature stability during consecutive brewing cycles.
Extraction Quality
7.0 /10
Equipped with a standard 58mm portafilter and pre-infusion capability, it produces decent espresso, though shot consistency can be finicky due to variable water temperatures.
Steam System
6.5 /10
The steam wand generates adequate pressure for basic lattes, but slow throughput and limited articulation make producing silky microfoam for latte art difficult.
Overall
6.1 /10
Overall category performance rating.
