Machine 1, the La Pavoni Europiccola, is priced at $730 and is a manual espresso machine, suitable for advanced users. In contrast, Machine 2, the Bezzera DUO DE, comes with a much higher price point of $2969 and is classified as a semi-automatic machine, also aimed at advanced users. Both machines cater to a similar skill level, but the significant difference in price reflects their varying functionalities and technologies.

In terms of brewing information, the La Pavoni Europiccola operates with a lever activation, features a single boiler made of chrome, and has a heat-up time of under 5 minutes. It utilizes a mechanical piston pump and has a brew boiler capacity of 0.8 liters, drawing from a reservoir water source. On the other hand, the Bezzera DUO DE employs button activation, utilizes dual boiler technology with a copper boiler, and has a heat-up time ranging from 15 to 30 minutes. Its brew boiler capacity is 0.4 liters, and it operates with a rotary pump and a convertible water source.

Features Comparison
