The 19 bar figure on the box is pump pressure, not brew pressure -- espresso is extracted at about 9 bar, and every machine above that simply regulates the excess away, so 19 bar tells you nothing useful.

Full details →Who the AGARO Imperial 19 Bar Espresso Coffee Maker with Milk Frother is for
Buy it if: Anyone learning espresso on 230 V mains who will buy a separate burr grinder.
Avoid it if: Anyone expecting an all-in-one -- there is no grinder, and pre-ground coffee will disappoint.
Who the Instant Pot Duo 7-in-1 Electric Pressure Cooker 6 Qt is for
Buy it if: Anyone who wants unattended, timed cooking and will adjust timings upward from stovetop recipes.
Avoid it if: Anyone expecting stovetop-cooker speed -- lower pressure plus preheat makes it slower, not faster.

|---|---|---|
| Price | ₹8,999 | ₹9,999 |
| Annual energy use | Roughly 70 kWh a year at two coffees a day, about Rs560 at Rs8 per unit | Roughly 55 kWh a year at 30 minutes a day, about Rs440 at Rs8 per unit |
| Capacity | 1.5 litre water tank | 5.7 litres total. Usable is about 3.8 litres, since it must not be filled beyond two thirds |

| Rated power | 1350 W | 1000 W |
| Warranty | 1 Year Manufacturer Warranty | 1 Year Official Brand Warranty |
| Weight | 4.2 kg | 5.4 kg |
| Why that matters | Espresso needs beans ground within seconds of brewing, so a separate grinder is not optional | Recipes written for stovetop cookers under-time on this |
| Boiler | Single thermoblock, so brewing and steaming are sequential | not published |
| Fill limit | not published | Two thirds, and half for foaming foods -- so usable volume is about 3.8 litres |
| Functions | not published | Pressure cook, slow cook, rice, saute, steam, yoghurt, keep warm |
| Grinder | None -- beans must be ground separately, which is the main difference from an all-in-one | not published |
| Inner pot | not published | Stainless steel, dishwasher safe |
| Portafilter | 51 mm, with single and double baskets | not published |
| Preheat | not published | 10 to 15 minutes before pressure builds, which most timings omit |
| Pressure | not published | Roughly 11.6 psi, lower than a stovetop cooker's 15 psi, so cooking takes longer |
| Pump pressure | 19 bar rated, regulated to about 9 bar at the group head -- 9 bar is what espresso actually needs, and any figure above it is marketing | not published |
| Steam wand | Manual, for milk texturing | not published |
| Warm-up | About 2 minutes | not published |
Every row is a figure one or both products record. A blank is a figure the catalogue does not hold, not a zero.
