A thermoblock only heats the water during extraction. The machine is ready within minutes and consumes nothing while just standing there.
A ring brew group has less mass than an E61.
Brass combines good thermal conductivity with robustness and has been common in espresso machines for decades.
With a tank the machine does not need a water connection and can be placed anywhere there is a power outlet.
58 millimeters is the most common size.
A PID control continuously measures the temperature and regulates the heater accordingly, instead of simply switching it on and off at a threshold.
With Flow Control you regulate during the extraction how much water runs through the coffee grounds.
Before full pressure the coffee grounds are pre-wetted with low pressure.
The vibration pump is the most common type for home use: compact, affordable, reliable.

A ring brew group has less mass than an E61. It warms up faster and uses less power in continuous operation, but it maintains temperature less consistently during rapid consecutive extractions.
The vibration pump is the most common type for home use: compact, affordable, reliable. It is audible, namely for the duration of the extraction, about half a minute.
A PID control continuously measures the temperature and regulates the heater accordingly, instead of simply switching it on and off at a threshold. The difference does not show in the first espresso of the day but in the third in a row: the machine hits the same point again.
Brass combines good thermal conductivity with robustness and has been common in espresso machines for decades. As with copper, water hardness determines how often you need to descale.
Before full pressure the coffee grounds are pre-wetted with low pressure. This is done mechanically through the design of the brew group, without electronics and without adjustments. It prevents channeling in the puck, that is spots where the water breaks through too quickly.
With Flow Control you manually control how quickly the water runs through the coffee grounds: start slowly, then increase pressure. That takes the edge off acidic beans and gives you an extra adjustment. Without Flow Control the extraction runs at a fixed pressure, and that is enough for most recipes.
With a tank the machine does not need a water connection and can be placed anywhere there is a power outlet. For that you have to refill, and the water quality is in your hands: filtered or soft water reduces descaling.
58 millimeters is the most common size. Baskets, tampers, levelers and distributors are available for it from many manufacturers, so you are not tied to an unusual size or a single supplier.
The top surface of the machine is warmed by residual heat. A prewarmed cup draws less heat from the espresso, and those last degrees decide whether it still tastes the same in the glass as in the cup.
The machine switches itself off after a set time or goes into a low-power state. That saves electricity when you turn it on in the morning and then forget about it during the day. Without standby it stays on until you switch it off.

Three varieties that we have dialed in on exactly this machine. Start recipe included.
Feldberg organic coffee Colombia, Omniroast Single OriginPanela and caramel on the first sip, followed by almond and dark chocolate, plus a distinct dried fruit note and a lively, juicy acidity.
Start recipe: 17-18 g in the double basket → 36-40 g (Brew Ratio 1:2 to 1:2.3) in 28-32 s
Hausblend N°1Dark chocolate on the first sip, followed by creamy nougat, with a fine citrus freshness in the finish. Full body, mild acidity, dense crema.
Start recipe: 17-18 g in the double basket → 36-40 g (Brew Ratio 1:2 to 1:2.3) in 28-32 s
Hochlandblüte Organic Coffee Ethiopia Sidamo, WashedFloral on the first sip, followed by bright fruit with notes of red berries and cherry, clear and sweet in the finish.
Start recipe: 17-18 g → 34-43 g (1:2 to 1:2.5) in 27-30 s
Beans ship free with the machine and come from the same roast week.
Wiedecent Tamper V6 58.35 mmThe tamper supplied with most machines is made of plastic. A properly fitting tamper fills the portafilter basket to the edge, and it is exactly there that you find out whether the water will flow through evenly.
Brewing group brush with wooden handleRun it through the brew group once a day, two minutes of work. Without that, coffee oils build up on the shower screen and the extraction becomes uneven long before you taste it.
PULY Caff Powder NSFBackflush with a blind basket every one to two weeks. This removes the coffee oils from the group head and valve that the water jet does not reach.
