    WHY BUY FROM CLIVE?

    • Best deal guaranteed: We work very hard to offer high quality products at the best price. If you find a better deal, let us know and we'll match it.

    • We use this machine: We say no to a lot of products because they don't meet our stringent demands. If it's on our site, we love it and use it ourselves.

    • Love it or send it back: Our 30 Day Satisfaction Guarantee means we make it easy for you to return it if you don't love it.

    • Repair service: We can service your machine and take care of any issues that might come up. With our rock solid 1 year warranty policy, you can rest assured.
    PROS:
    CONS:
    Rotary pump: Rotary pumps are more durable and quiet than vibratory pumps.
    Heating time: Since the Alex II is so solidly built, you need to give it at least 20 minutes of warm up time before making drinks.
    Heat Exchange System: Steam and hot water are available on demand, and you can pull shots while you steam.
    Short shot drop distance: The distance between the portafilter spouts and the drip tray grate is very short, making it hard to pull shots directly into a cup.
    Directly plumb or not: it's your choice: The Duetto has a large water reservoir, but with the included direct-plumb kit, it's easy to connect to a water source.
