The counter’s vote
Looks barely figure in either machine’s record — the counter can sit this one out.
Duo Temp Pro (BES810BSS): Compact, brushed-steel front with modern appliance aesthetic—kitchen-friendly without award-citation; praised for fitting small spaces, not for design boldness.
Barista Perfetta Plus: Clean, compact, appliance-neutral industrial design; no polarization or award citations in purchase talk — looks serve the brief but do not drive buying decisions.
Only the Barista Perfetta Plus: a hot-water tap.
Only the Barista Perfetta Plus: the standard 58mm ecosystem.
Only the Barista Perfetta Plus: no accessory lock-in.
Where they tie: milk & steam · shot ceiling · back-to-back drinks · ready when you are · reliability record — don’t let a spec sheet invent a difference.
