Who it is for — and who should skip
Who it is for
5418 PRO is Top pick for busy milk-drink mornings: FlashHeat reaches brew temp in seconds and steam switching lands in about three seconds instead of a long wait. A 20-bar pump, pre-infusion, and a real steam wand cover lattes without a built-in grinder. If you only pull one shot a day, the compact CM5418 Best value is enough; if you want a grinder aboard, jump to Premium.
Who should skip
Skip if you only pull one shot a day; the CM5418 is enough. This role is FlashHeat plus the 3-second steam switch for busy milk-drink mornings. Upgrade (Ultra) adds an LCD and four brew-temperature steps on a larger footprint. Premium (Gevi) is the built-in conical burr grinder. Skip Premium if you already own a grinder.
