The Compasso d'Oro recognition and MOMA placement actually caught my eye before the purchase, and after using it daily for a week, I get why it's so celebrated. The metal body feels solid and well-balanced when pouring, and it makes a consistently rich shot of espresso.

The way it sits on the counter feels like a tiny sculpture, and pulling that first shot is almost theatrical. Knowing this same design is in MoMA’s collection makes my morning ritual feel a little more special, and the espresso itself is genuinely rich.

The way the water heats up so evenly through the conical boiler makes a noticeably smoother espresso than my old machine. I’ve been pulling shots every morning for a week now, and the crema is consistently rich and thick.
