KEY DIFFERENCES
Time dosage vs. volumetric dosage
This is a relatively small difference between the two machines. The Musica has a programmable volume dosage, which corresponds to an automatic dosage based on the shot volume. While with the Oscar II you can program recordings on time instead of volume.
Why are these functions useful?
Programmable dosing means that the machine does part of the work for you, allowing you to multitask. Another advantage is that it helps users of all skill levels to make perfect espresso shots.
Musica manual dosage button
Although both machines offer programmable doses, only one of them is equipped with an optional manual dosing button. In addition to volume dispensing, you can also choose manual dispensing with Musica. To brew manually, press the button both to start and stop the brewing cycle, giving you full control and allowing you to draw shorter or longer shots. Manual dosing does require more finesse, but it is an option that many knowledgeable baristas and home baristas like to have access to.
The Oscar II has a light on the silicone touchpad that indicates when the machine is ready, which essentially does the same as the Musica boiler pressure gauge.
However, the indicator light on the Oscar II doesn't give you much information and you may need to give the Oscar II a little extra time during the first warm-up time for the day, even after the light goes out.
