Real baristas will love this machine: not only does it look classy, it also prepares excellent coffee variations such as espresso or cappuccino. Of course, values such as brewing temperature or water quantity can be precisely adjusted as required. However, the machine is not a bargain.

The Gastroback delivers very good results in the basic disciplines of espresso preparation and milk frothing. Cleaning is also relatively easy. In terms of features, however, the testers missed a temperature display and a water filter. In addition, the cup warmer does not really get warm enough.
Simultaneous preparation of espresso and milk foam
Short heat-up time (less than 2 min.)
Individual settings for coffee powder quantity, water quantity and temperature possible
Low dead space of the coffee grinder
Quiet operation
Excellent results

The Design Espresso Advanced Duo comes well packaged with a number of accessories. In addition to the necessary bean container, there is a stainless steel milk jug, two sieve inserts and a tamper in the box. Overall, the machine makes a very high-quality impression. The controls are well labelled and the six illuminated buttons are very smooth.
