## Verdict

The best-automated machine here, with improved automatic dosing and tamping, and backed by the strongest consumer support network of any consumer brand in the category. It ranks below the E61 machines only because its heavy automation is more failure surface.

## For

- Huge color touchscreen with improved automatic dosing and tamping station
- Heats up and is ready very quickly
- Easy to set up, use, and maintain; steams milk extremely well
- Strongest support network of any consumer brand in the category
- Handsome, fast, with excellent espresso and auto puck prep

## Against

- Heavy automation means more electronics that can fail
- Costs flagship money largely to automate puck prep
- Many owners end up selling them

## Flagged as one to avoid

This product entered 1 of 3 runs as one buyers cross-shop but should not buy, rather than as a pick. It is published here rather than dropped.

## What this tier means

- C: Fair. Acceptable in the right situation, outclassed at its price.

## How to read this

- Each category is researched in four independent runs, one per lens (expert consensus, value, reliability, community pulse). Every run ranks a board of candidates that deliberately includes products buyers cross-shop but should avoid. Placements score on a ranked ladder (LP), and tiers are derived from LP, so no tier is ever assigned by hand.
- LP is this product's points on its own category ladder. It is comparable within a category and not across categories.
- Link status reports what our pre-publication link check found when it fetched the cited URL. It says nothing about the quality of the review.
- A citation with no usable link is listed rather than dropped, and is excluded from the counted total above.
