Pros and cons
From each full review, written from the same published facts as the scores above.
De'Longhi La Specialista Arte Evo
- +Cold brew in under five minutes, from a function De'Longhi developed with the Specialty Coffee Association.
- +Three infusion temperatures, which De'Longhi calls Active Temperature Control.
- +A manual steam wand, so microfoam and latte art are genuinely possible.
- +A dosing and tamping guide in the box, which is the step beginners get wrong.
- +1600 watts and a 56 oz tank, in a machine 14.4 inches wide.
- −De'Longhi's own page says 8 grind settings in one place and 15 in another, and never resolves it.
- −No portafilter diameter is published, so you cannot check accessory fitment before buying.
- −No bean hopper capacity and no heat-up time are published.
- −One finish only, and no display: control is by button and dial.
- −The machine is sold under two SKUs at the same price and one of them is out of stock.
Gevi 20Bar Super Automatic Espresso Machine
- +Two boilers, so steaming and brewing do not queue behind each other, which nothing else at this price offers
- +PID, a 58mm portafilter, a pressure gauge with a marked pre-infusion range, and both single and dual-wall baskets
- +An integrated grinder in a stainless steel body
- −$699.99, which is the category median, so not a budget buy
- −20 bar is a pump maximum, and espresso is pulled at 9
- −Manual microfoam by hand, and no warranty term is published
