DECISION RECEIPT
The case for this record
Why it fits
Strongest match for budget stepless control, hopper or single-dose use, digital timed dosing.
Main tradeoff

KNOWN LIMITATIONS
What the record cannot prove
- Direct portafilter diameter compatibility is not published; Finder pairing remains disabled.
- Use the current official 70W/8.5lb record and retain the conflicting reseller sheet as a limitation.
Published specifications do not prove taste, noise, durability, thermal stability, mess, or real-world speed. Those require a documented physical test.
