KNOWN LIMITATIONS

What the record cannot prove

  • The manufacturer does not label the dimension axes or publish the operating envelope.
  • Exact portafilter diameter and cold-start time remain unconfirmed.

Published specifications do not prove taste, noise, durability, thermal stability, mess, or real-world speed. Those require a documented physical test.
