- Manual steam wand
- 15 bar pump

Pros
- Very narrow footprint

- Simple enough for entry-level espresso

Small-space suitability
The narrow body is the main small-space advantage. It can sit in gaps where wider machines will not fit, although you still need working room around the portafilter and steam wand.
Buying considerations

- Consider a compact grinder or pre-ground coffee
- Check mug height if using taller cups
Maintenance notes
Purge and wipe the steam wand after milk use. Empty the drip tray and descale periodically.
