• Eureka, a well-established grinder manufacturer, has released four new espresso machine models (two vibratory and two rotary).
• The Pura is a manual, no-frills heat exchange machine, while the Castanza Serenity is a more premium model with added features and customization options.
• Both models utilize 2L heat exchange and E61 group heads, allowing for simultaneous coffee extraction and milk steaming. They also feature 58mm portafilters.
• The Castanza offers a digital display, shot timer, PID control (with three temperature settings), and customizable panel options.
• Pricing: Pura ~$2000, Pura R ~$2400, Castanza ~$2300, Castanza R ~$2700. The speaker notes the $400 price difference for the rotary models, and expresses some disappointment in the lack of additional features in the rotary versions.
