I have never had espresso from a pressurized portafilter so I cant really speak from personal experience. But they are more forgiving as far as grind size/consistancy and tamp pressure go so the are easier to use.

Gotcha. I ask because I was gifted a cheap one and until I know of a solid reason to drop off a ton of money I can't imagine why did trade up. I mean this one works..

Agreed, I didn't spend that much.

Here's what I know:
1. This one grinds the beans
2. Packs the coffee
3. Has enough pressure to make decent espresso (the nicer machines have better pressure thingies -that's a technical term)
4. and most importantly, any of my kids can put a cup under it and press the button to make it work. :)

Well now that's something there. Had no idea it was grinding and packing it for you. Shit that's nice

Oh so you get the occasional macchiato or pumpkin spice drink?

No pumpkin....but make my own macchiato and people swear by it when I make it for them. I go through periods where I drink it by the boatload and then go back to just froth and coffee with a packet of sugar. Will be off to Grenada and will get some of their Spice Aisle Coffees...amazing stuff they have along with picking up various spices on that beautiful island. ( hopefully I won't run into the Zika Virus )
