- The published capacity range removes guesswork around the bottom end.
- Reverse helps incorporate preferments within the stated hydration range.
- Its 5 L bowl takes less worktop space than the larger KYS models.
- The 800 g minimum is more than many one-pizza batches.
- The 60% hydration floor does not cover traditional stiff biga.
