The RIDE with Flow Control adds the piece the base RIDE is missing - real-time manual pressure profiling. For a hundred dollars over the base model, you get the flexibility to stretch lighter roasts or tame explosive pucks without leaving the saturated group platform. This is the RIDE configuration we'd buy.

What we liked and didn't

Pros

  • Adds manual flow control for only $100 more
  • Same saturated group and stability as base RIDE
  • Factory-installed, fully warrantied

Cons

  • Flow control has a learning curve
  • Still vibratory-pump - not rotary
