In terms of brewing information, both machines utilize button activation and have stainless steel boiler materials. The Diletta Mio has a brew boiler capacity of 0.4 liters, whereas the Xenia Dual Boiler has a slightly smaller capacity of 0.3 liters. The Diletta uses a single boiler for brewing, while the Xenia employs a dual boiler system which generally allows for better temperature stability.

Features Comparison

When examining key features, the Diletta Mio comes equipped with automatic shutoff, boiler pressure gauge, pre-infusion, and a steam wand, but lacks a shot timer. In contrast, the Xenia Dual Boiler includes a steam pressure gauge as well as a shot timer, enhancing the overall brewing experience. Also, the Xenia features dual PID control, giving users more precise temperature adjustments. While both machines include important functionalities like hot water provision and solenoid valves, they differ slightly in the breadth of features available.
