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 Prestige Deluxe Alpha Stainless Steel 3L Pressure Cooker is for
Buy it if: Couples and small families cooking for two or three, on gas or induction.
Avoid it if: Families of four or more -- the two-thirds fill rule makes this smaller in use than it sounds.
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.
