EspressoBot Comparison

Machine Overview

Machine 1, the Diletta Bello, is priced at $1,600, while Machine 2, the Diletta Bello+, has a higher price point of $1,899. Both machines are classified as semi-automatic and are designed for intermediate skill levels. This positions both models as suitable for users who are looking to hone their espresso-making skills without stepping into the realm of professional-grade machines.

Brewing Comparison

In terms of brewing information, both machines utilize a lever activation and feature stainless steel boilers. They incorporate the E61 group type and have a primary heating element in the form of a heat exchanger. The heat-up time is similar for both models, ranging from 5 to 15 minutes, and they share the same steam boiler and water reservoir capacities, with 1.8 liters for the steam boiler and 3 liters for the water reservoir.

Features Comparison

Both espresso machines boast impressive features; however, the Bello+ includes PID control and a shot timer, which are absent in the standard Bello model. Similar features between the two include an auto shutoff, boiler pressure gauge, steam pressure gauge, concurrent brew and steam capabilities, and pre-infusion. Furthermore, they both have dual solenoid valves, steam wands with no-burn features, and over-pressure valves. The Bello+ has more advanced control options, enhancing its flexibility for experienced users.
