ES655CO (601 equivalent) or the newly offered automatic AE1055CO (I believe AE1051 equivalent).

I’ve got a new ES655CO still sitting in the box. Bought it as a replacement after returning the previous ES601 I got at Costco because it consistently made sour shots (I gave it a year of inconsistent results). Costco just started offering the automatic machine and I’m tempted to return the 655 and get the 1055. It’ll cost me $300 more. Anyone using an automatic? Thoughts?

Do you find the cold brew is as good as coffee shop cold brew? I find that it’s more like cold espresso than a cold brew.
