Pro:
- great coffee, cleaner taste, more aromatic
- no steam output from the top making it safe under cabinets
- easy access to the water tank and the coffee filter
- simple controls
- heavy duty - almost 10 pounds
- coffee stays hot if you preheat the stainless carafe with hot water
- 5 year warranty
- FAST brew time - 6-7 minutes
- Quiet brew
Con:
- price - I paid about $420 for the Wolf on sale with points. That is still a bargain compared to high end espresso makers that can top $5k. Thankfully, I’m not an espresso guy.
I like this machine. It works well, fits my kitchen counter perfectly, no top steam release that can delaminate of discolor upper cabinets, very quiet (see video), is simple to use and clean and brews quickly, like 7 minutes. Hope that helps!
