Espresso Series 1

Fellow built an espresso machine the way a software company would - intentional defaults, an excellent color screen, an app that actually improves the experience, and pressure profiling in 8 variables. The Boosted Boiler hits brew temp in under 2 minutes, which is as much as anyone has ever asked of a home machine. The only reason it is not our overall pick is that it lacks the long-term heft of a German or Italian prosumer. As a first-class daily driver, it is excellent.
