Hello sir ☺️. Your welcome. It can come down to how much control and how much you want to do to create your favourite coffee. With the la Specialista Maestro I can completely create my coffee,dose, grind brew temperature and extract the best espresso shot. With the Breville barista express impress it takes the geuss work out of dose,tamp . The brew temp is pre set. The brew Time is eather single or double. The la Specialista Maestro gives you the choice of eather manual milk frothing or the latte crema system ie: automatic milk steam and froth system . All you need to do is basically choose flat white. Latte, or capitino on the dial. So it really comes down to your personal choice and or lvl of experience you have.

@@derekmenkensmyhomecafe. thank you! I appreciate your reply

Hi there the Manuel I referd to is known as the coffee Guide, and is supplied with the purchase of the coffee machine. The section I used is the perfect Espresso settings Table.

Can you please use English language?

@derekmenkensmyhomecafe. no use the translation

Hi Saif I apologise for the late reply. I would recommend this matchine. Because I have total control of making my espresso shot for all my favourite drinks.

Hi what is your grind setting?

By reducing your grind size it will cause more extraction pressure and raise the gauge to the optimum zone. Use the x2 selection for a double filter basket.

I tried 1 and 2. I read that finer grind setting is good to go optimal zone. It goes to near optimal zone, when there is too much grinded coffee(22-23). I am worring that machine is broken, too hard to put filter😅

@@derekmenkensmyhomecafe. When I use single basket, it goes to optimal zone(20-21 / grind setting 3). However when I use double basket, never gose to optimal zone.

When you use the double basket do you have the x2 symbol light up?

I don't understand why you say that I have made foam and steamed milk for all drinks both manually and with automatic system with Dairy and non Dairy milk.
