EspressoBot Comparison

Machine Overview

The Cafelat Robot is a manual espresso machine priced at $375, targeting beginners in the espresso-making journey. In contrast, the Crem One Duo V is a semi-automatic machine with a higher price of $2500, designed for those with intermediate skills. Both machines offer distinct learning curves, with the Robot being more hands-on, while the Duo V provides a balance of automation and manual control.

Brewing Comparison

In terms of brewing information, the Cafelat Robot operates with a manual pump and features a stainless steel brew group but does not have a boiler, which makes its heat-up time not applicable. On the other hand, the Crem One Duo V utilizes a lever with an OLED display, equipped with a dual boiler that has a brew boiler capacity of 1.6 liters and a steam boiler capacity of 1.7 liters. It takes between 15 to 30 minutes to heat up, which is significantly longer than the Robot given its manual operation. Both machines use a 58 mm portafilter, but the water source differs, as the Robot relies on a reservoir while the Duo V offers a convertible option.

Features Comparison

When considering key features, the Cafelat Robot includes a flow control function and pre-infusion but lacks automation features such as an auto shutoff and steam wand. Conversely, the Crem One Duo V is equipped with various advanced capabilities, including dual PID control, hot water availability, and a steam wand, alongside an auto shutoff function. The Duo V also has additional gauges and a shot timer, enhancing the espresso-making experience, while the Robot remains more minimalistic in function.
