Every spec, with its source
Only specs both sides state can win. A “Not stated” never wins or loses.
Brewing
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
Water tank
A bigger tank means refilling less often. For two milk drinks a day, about 60 oz lasts several days.
One-touch drinks
Preset recipes such as latte or cappuccino at the push of a button.
