Machine Overview

Machine 1, the Crem One Duo V, is priced at $2500 and is categorized as a semi-automatic machine, ideal for intermediate skill levels. In contrast, Machine 2, the Nuova Simonelli Oscar II, is more affordable at $1495 and is also designed for intermediate users. Both machines target consumer segments that are seeking a blend of quality and user engagement in espresso making.

Brewing Comparison

In terms of brewing information, the Crem One Duo V employs a lever activation system with an OLED display, while the Oscar II utilizes button activation. The Crem machine features a dual boiler system with a heat-up time ranging from 15 to 30 minutes, which is longer than the Oscar II's heat exchanger design that heats up in just 5 to 15 minutes. The Crem's water reservoir holds 1.8 liters, and the steam boiler capacity is 1.7 liters, compared to the Oscar II with a 2.8-liter reservoir and a 2-liter steam boiler. Both machines operate with a vibration pump and use a 58mm portafilter.

Features Comparison

Regarding features, the Crem One Duo V offers several advanced functionalities, including auto shutoff, PID control with dual capabilities, pre-infusion, and a shot timer, which enhance user control and precision. Meanwhile, the Oscar II lacks PID controls and shot timers but does incorporate a solenoid valve and an over-pressure valve. The Oscar II’s concurrent brewing and steaming feature parallels that of the Crem, with both capable of brewing and steaming simultaneously. However, the Crem offers additional gauges which the Oscar II does not possess.
