If you are a budget-conscious coffee enthusiast seeking a powerful espresso experience, the CASABREWS CM5418 is ideal. You prioritize high pump pressure (20 bar) for strong extraction and appreciate the integrated pressure gauge for tuning. While you don't mind a slight wait between frothing and brewing due to its single boiler, its compact design (5.47" width) and affordable price point make it perfect for smaller kitchens or as an entry-level machine to explore manual espresso making.

The De'Longhi manual espresso machine suits individuals who value convenience, speed, and slightly larger capacity in their daily coffee routine. Its thermoblock boiler ensures faster heat-up and quicker transitions for brewing and steaming. With a generous 40.6 oz water reservoir, you'll refill less often. You appreciate the included double-wall glasses and are willing to invest a bit more for a reliable, compact machine that streamlines your morning coffee ritual, even without a built-in grinder.
