Lab notes
The E24 is still the Classic Pro story: a true 58mm group, approachable money, and a chassis that invites mods. We measured shot-to-shot temperature swing without a PID and timed milk waits on a single boiler.
If you want commercial baskets on a learner budget, this is the honest path. If you need simultaneous brew + steam, step up to a dual boiler.
