The Stilosa is a compact, no-frills entry model. It uses a pressurized portafilter, which means shots come out acceptable even with pre-ground coffee. It also has a manual steam wand for basic milk drinks.

Who it is for: beginners who want the simplest possible start.

• Pros: simple, compact, forgiving for beginners.
• Cons: limited control, and the shots will not match what a non-pressurized setup can do.

Verdict: good for easy daily coffee, not for chasing café quality.
