Both machines are crafted by reputable brands, with Breville focusing on user-friendly designs and Odyssey offering a more traditional manual approach. The price difference reflects the complexity and intended audience of each model.

Brewing Comparison

In terms of brewing information, the Breville Duo Temp Pro features a button activation system, utilizing a Thermoblock heating element and a water reservoir capacity of 1.8 liters. It has a heat-up time of under 5 minutes. Conversely, the Odyssey Argos operates with a lever activation method and a Single Boiler heating element, with a smaller water reservoir. It also boasts a similar heat-up time of under 5 minutes, but has a brew group of stainless steel.

Features Comparison

Regarding features, the Breville Duo Temp Pro includes pre-infusion and a steam wand, but lacks auto shutoff and a boiler pressure gauge. On the other hand, the Odyssey Argos offers advanced features such as auto shutoff and PID control, enhancing temperature stability, along with flow control and a shot timer. Both machines have a steam wand, but only Odyssey's Argos has the added smart connectivity feature, making it suited for more tech-savvy users.
