View this machineWhat differs
- The Barista Express is €105.00 cheaper.
- Both are the same kind of machine, a portafilter machine, so they work the same way.
- Both have a built-in grinder, so you do not need to buy one.
- Milk works the same on both: with a steam wand you control yourself.
- Cleaning the milk system is the same on both: after every use, a short burst of steam or water and a wipe with a damp cloth.
