Why is the De'Longhi Stilosa better than the CASABREWS 3700 Essential?
No spec where it is clearly ahead, based on what both listings state.
Every spec, with its source
Only specs both sides state can win. A “Not stated” never wins or loses.
Brewing
Portafilter size
58 mm is the café standard with the widest choice of baskets and tampers. Smaller sizes work, but accessories are scarcer.
De'Longhi Stilosa
Not stated
Pump pressure
Espresso is brewed at about 9 bar. Higher numbers on the box are maximum pump ratings and do not make better coffee, so we do not score them.
Milk
Milk frothing
A manual steam wand gives the best microfoam for latte art but takes practice. Automatic systems are easier but less flexible.
Convenience
Heat-up time
How long you wait from switching on until the first shot. Under a minute feels instant, over 15 minutes means planning ahead.
De'Longhi Stilosa
Not stated
Water tank
A bigger tank means refilling less often. For two milk drinks a day, about 60 oz lasts several days.
Size and weight
Height
Measure the space under your kitchen cabinets. Many machines need a few extra inches on top to refill the water tank or bean hopper.
