Just went for the de1pro, but specced oak handles, black machine. Nothing fancy
From speaking with a few people the extra for the XL isn’t needed really.
Should be here next week, looking at the ups it’s in the UK already.
Will be a learning curve, few differences namely temps at the puck not the boiler, so in that sense like the Evo with it’s group temp, biggest thing I noticed going back to the Bianca from the Evo was temp stability. The Evo is just solid.
Side note there’s a white Bianca on Bella barista for £2k
The water tray side of things is a porcelain tray, will see how that goes, I seem to have a love hate for water holders. Still hate the Evo door. Why I fancied a Vostok but my kitchen is too small.
Biggest factor is the Mrs will use the decent, in her words oh that’s cute 😂
