Many considerations besides hand or machine…………………………..
#1 American, Israeli or other country of origin
In the 70s and 80s and early 90s I loved the taste of Rakusen Machine Matzo from England
Until the 2010s I could NOT stand the taste of Israeli matzo Hand or Machine. Now I stockpile Yehuda machine matzo for year round use. Stop and Shop gives away a 5lb box with a $25 purchase and I’ve already put 50 lobs away that cost nothing. I could have chosen other Israeli or American brands, but I like this taste better.
#2 Hand is it thick or thin? Texture isn’t really taste, but a blah taste lingers longer when the matzo is very thick.
#3 Is the hand matzo burnt and overcooked. I don’t like the taste of char.
#4 which grain is used? My niece has celiac disease, We buy both oat and spelt matzo for her, I like the taste of oat, not spelt. In fact I think an Oat machine matzo tastes better than a wheat hand matzo.
