The Verdict.

8.4/ 10

Gavler Meta-Score

Not for beginners, and that is a feature. The flow control paddle puts you in direct analog control of extraction pressure, unlocking flavor profiles impossible with fixed-pressure machines. The learning curve is steep, the reward is unmatched depth of flavor.
