THE DECISION
What matters for this pair
If espresso is essential, verify the machine-and-grinder combination you will use. If your focus is brewed coffee, compare how each adjustment and dosing routine would work on your counter.
BEFORE BUYING
Check this carefully
An OXO setting described as fine is not evidence that it will work with a particular espresso machine.
