> Maxiumum dose: 20g

I found this spec a bit strange. Maximum dose is a function of the basket AND the coffee, both of which are up to the user, so I don't understand why this is in the machine's specs.

> Basket style: Naked/non-pressurized (And it better stay like this)

Naked refers to the portafilter not having spouts, it has nothing to do with the basket. And what if I prefer to use a spouted portafilter and/or a pressurized basket? This feels unnecesarily confrontational.

I assume this is just referring to the basket that comes with the machine. It's common for aftermarket baskets to be sized/sold by dosage weight.


I know, but they usually offer dosage ranges, since it varies greatly depending on coffee density.

In any case, it's not a "grouphead spec" as shown on the website. I know this is pedantic, but most coffee nerds are pedantic :P
