EspressoBot Comparison

Machine Overview

The ECM Casa V and the Xenia Espresso Dual Boiler are both semi-automatic espresso machines designed for intermediate skill levels. The Casa V is priced at approximately $999, making it more affordable compared to the Xenia, which has a higher MSRP of $2500. Both brands are reputable within the espresso machine market, catering to home brewers who want to develop their skills without entering the professional territory.

Brewing Comparison

In terms of brewing information, both machines feature a button activation system and use stainless steel for the boiler material. The Casa V has a brew boiler capacity of 0.4 liters and a water reservoir capacity of 3 liters, while the Xenia offers a slightly smaller brew boiler capacity of 0.3 liters with a 2-liter reservoir. Both machines utilize a vibration pump, have a 58 mm portafilter, and boast a heat-up time of 5-15 minutes. However, the Xenia incorporates a dual boiler system, which can improve temperature stability during brewing and steaming simultaneously.

Features Comparison

When it comes to features, both machines include an auto shutoff and solenoid valve, and both have a boiler pressure gauge. The Xenia outshines the Casa V in terms of advanced features, such as PID control, pre-infusion, and a shot timer. Additionally, the Xenia allows for concurrent brewing and steaming, enhancing versatility, while the Casa V provides a simpler setup with a no-burn steam wand and an integrated hot water feature. Both machines offer solid options, but the Xenia provides more features suited for more advanced espresso preparation.
