Two Boilers
Both coffee makers are dual boiler machines. In general, water used for milk steaming has to be hotter than the water used for coffee brewing. In a dual boiler machine while one boiler heats the water for coffee brewing the other boiler heats the water for milk steaming and since these two proccesses require different temperatures dual boiler machines are faster as both boilers work simultaneously whereas the single boiler ones have to wait between steaming and brewing sessions.
