The counter’s vote
Looks barely figure in either machine’s record — the counter can sit this one out.
GIGA 6: Brushed-steel, multi-touchscreen form reads premium-appliance; reveals minor design consensus — bought partly on counter presence, but not polarizing.
EQ900: Premium appliance aesthetic appeals to kitchen-conscious buyers; design-award citations exist but do not override repair-vulnerability concerns in community weighting.
Only the GIGA 6: brewing and steaming at once.
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.
On the counter
The size difference, to scale
So — which one?
Take the GIGA 6 if —
- Mornings run on a clock
Take the EQ900 if —
- The difference stays in your pocket — or goes into beans
- There are sleepers to protect
The measured differences here are small; the price gap is not. Take the EQ900 and put the difference into fresh, roast-dated beans — they move the cup more than this split will.

One owner each
“Two grinders, two thermoblocks and two pumps mean it can brew and froth at the same time, which keeps service moving when several people need drinks.”
“Everything about it is geared towards minimising the rubbish parts of owning a bean-to-cup, while maximising the best bits: delicious coffee made the way you like it.”
