Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about this comparison

Which machine provides superior espresso extraction quality?

The Electactic features a 20-bar pump and a 58mm portafilter, potentially offering a stronger and more professional extraction compared to COWSAR's 15-bar pump.

How do these machines differ in temperature stability?

Both use thermoblock boilers. The COWSAR machine specifies PID temperature control for stable brewing, which is a key advantage over the Electactic, where this feature is not listed.

Which machine offers better control over coffee grinding?

The Electactic machine boasts an integrated conical burr grinder with 30 grind settings and adjustable grind time. This offers more precise control than the COWSAR's integrated grinder, which has limitations on grind size upgrades.

Which machine requires fewer water refills?

Both machines have large water reservoirs. The Electactic has a 77 oz tank, slightly larger than the COWSAR's 75 oz reservoir, meaning both minimize refills effectively during use.
