Why is the De'Longhi Stilosa better than the CASABREWS CM5418?
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
Built-in grinder
Fresh grinding right before brewing matters more for taste than almost anything else. A built-in grinder saves buying a separate one.
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.
Pressure gauge
A gauge shows whether your grind and dose are right while the shot runs.
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
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.
Counter space
Width times depth, the area the machine takes up on your counter.
Weight
Heavier machines stay put when you lock in the portafilter. Lighter ones are easier to move and store.
Other
Power
Higher wattage usually means faster heating, but it says nothing about coffee quality.
Highlighted: the better value for that spec. Bars show where a value sits among all 126 machines. Specs neither listing states are left out. How we score
