The Curated Take

By the Expert Community
4.2/5

This espresso machine is a fantastic option for the home for those who are wanting the ability to brew and steam simultaneously, but don't necessarily need the power or price of a dual boiler setup. The Steel Duo uses two thermocoils to heat the brew path and steam sections separately.

In addition to this steaming feature, the Steel Duo also features great programmability using the toggle switches on the front of the machine.

Great looks, great build quality, and even working lights for the brewing area round out the reasons that this is often one of my most Curated machines!

Ideal for
  • Brew and steam at the same time
  • Programmable shot volumes
  • Great looks and build quality
Not ideal for
  • Slightly slower steaming than heat exchangers

Savannah is truly an expert. I somehow stumbled on Curated after endlessly looking up espresso machines as I’m a complete newbie. I honestly had no expectations on even getting matched with an expert but I’m so glad things worked out the way they did. I can’t wait for my new purchase to come in and to finally add espresso based drinks on my menu!

When Matthew knows, he KNOWS. He was unshakable in his conviction of what was right for me, and it turned out he was absolutely right. Being stubborn—and prone to doing tons of research—I took forever making my decision, and he was patient and extremely helpful the whole time. Plus, Matthew is loads of fun to chat with! Whatever you buy from Matthew, you will know that you are getting the best recommendations from someone with a tremendous knack for living well—and purposefully. And tremendously, KINDLY committed to getting what is right for YOU. Bravo Matthew!

Westing was amazing at answering all my questions and trying (multiple times) to find me options for what I thought I needed. His first recommendation out of the gate was the best, but he was patient and knowledgeable with my digging. I can’t say how much I appreciate that as an over thinker! He also didn’t blink when my budget shrunk and still made great recommendations. Thank you!

Michael was great!!
5 /5
I’ve been hemming and hawing about getting a new coffee setup since embarking on single working mom life. Don’t need to make a full pot every morning, but hate the waste of pods and K-cups. Plus, looking for something that would feel a bit luxurious and a splurge without breaking the bank. Stumbled upon Curated, and Michael helped me out. He made me feel a lot more confident in my decision, and he helped to steer me in the right direction (well, actually reassured me that the direction that I was already in was the right one). Thanks again. Now I just can’t wait for my machine to arrive!!!

Eric helped me decide which espresso machine was right for me. He was super helpful and patient over a period of weeks as he sent me suggestions and listened to my questions and concerns. Once I made the purchase he stayed connected, messaging me when the item shipped and when delivery was scheduled. He even sent me video tutorials and was just an overall huge help for me making a decision for a purchase that was a bit expensive. I am very happy with the machine I purchased, the Breville Barista Touch Impress! Thanks Eric!
