Choosing an Isomac Espresso Machine
The Isomac range here spans simpler single boiler machines and dual boiler models with PID temperature control. The main question is how you drink coffee, because that decides whether the extra complexity of a dual boiler is worth it.
Tea Due and Zaffiro Due
Both are single boiler machines, and the Zaffiro Due has an E61 group. A single boiler machine suits someone who mostly makes one or two drinks at a time and is happy to wait between brewing and steaming. Hot water output is modest, and the steam wand needs a soak to clean.
Pro 6.1 and Pro Dual Boiler PID
The Pro models are dual boiler PID machines with separate boilers for coffee and steam. That layout suits households that make several milk drinks in a row, or small offices and cafes. It also means a larger machine, so check the bench space.
How to Decide
Think about how many drinks you make at once, how much bench space you have, and whether plumbing in is an option. Our showrooms in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Hobart, Newcastle and Kiama let you compare machines in person where they are on display, and our team can advise on grinders, servicing and spare parts.
