I think the logic here is supposed to be something like:

more knowledge = more complex brain

as you need to “store” the knowledge somewhere.

I don’t say thats how it works but i can somehow see where OP is coming from.

Ascaso steel duo here! Plus one for everything Evilschnuff said. And: those machines are such an eye candy compared to many chrome bombers. Got a Eureka Mignon Single Dose to compliment the ascaso, both in white, and am really happy with the setup so far. Functionality and look wise.

We even use the setup every day as new parents because its ready to go in 3 min. max including warming the cups and everything.
