Matt S owns this product
This espresso machine is a fantastic option for those who want 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... Read more

I had been researching espresso machines for almost a year and feeling overwhelmed by all the options and different features available. Matthew helped me narrow it down and gave me the confidence to make the purchase. I’m looking forward to getting it setup and happy I’ll still be able to reach out to Matthew if ai have any questions about my new espresso machine.

We've been shopping for espresso machines for over a month, and were really overwhelmed by all of the choices. Andrea took the time to understand exactly what we were looking for. She made suggestions well under our budget, saving us a lot of money on bells and whistles that we didn't want or need. We're so excited to get set up and making coffee at home!

Just recently found out about curated. Thought to give it a try. Answered a couple of questions and Andrea reached out. Loved that there was a quick video about her, it was nice to put a face to who was helping me. I gave her all my info and absolutely loved that she didn't try to oversell or anything of the sort. You said your price range and she worked with that. Super helpful. Never felt that I had to hurry to make a decision. So thank you so much for everything curated. Just made my purchase and I am sure I will love it!!!

Went to amazon to look for my FIRST espresso machine. Went to search the internet for more answers and curated.com came up. I answered a few very quick simple questions and was linked up with Andrea. She was very knowledgeable and quick to respond. Was able to maintain my budget and inform me about use characteristics and product longevity. She even used great analogies and humor to help me better understand the science behind an espresso machine.

Andrea was absolutely amazing and knowledgable. She answered all my questions with patience, and I had A LOT of questions. She even helped me find YouTube videos on tutorials on the machine I was thinking of going with. She was also very honest on the complaints of the machines or the issues they have, which I appreciated. I would 100% use Curated again if needed!

Matthew was so helpful. I had no idea how complicated shopping for an espresso machine would be, and before I knew it, I was in over my head. When I found Curated, and was connected with Matthew- he distilled it all down for me. I told him what I wanted based on what I'd learned and the amount of time I could put into making a great espresso. I didn't know that you could purchase coffee grinders that are silent (super quiet) and that will be a game changer!
