Turin Legato V2 vs CASABREWS 5700PRO
The Turin Legato V2 is a standalone espresso machine; the CASABREWS 5700PRO combines an espresso machine and grinder. That makes this a comparison of complete workflows as much as brewing hardware. The CASABREWS documentation confirms manual tamping and manual milk steaming, so it should not be described as an automatic latte maker.

Model and regional scope
CASABREWS links a 5700PRO instruction manual from its support page. The available document is for a 220–240 V version. The operating features below follow that document; confirm a US machine’s electrical rating, included accessories and revision with the seller rather than copying UK electrical specifications.
| Feature | Turin Legato V2 | Documented CASABREWS 5700PRO |
|---|---|---|
| Grinder | Separate grinder required | Integrated grinder with 15 settings |
| Dose preparation | User weighs, distributes and tamps | Timed or manual grinding; user tamps |
| Heating information | 550 ml stainless brew boiler plus steam thermoblock | Do not infer boiler capacity from tank capacity |
| Temperature | User-adjustable brew and steam settings | Shot-temperature setting in the menu |
| Milk | Manual steam wand | Manual steam wand |
| Interface | Brewing controls and temperature display | LCD with grind/extraction information |
The Legato V2 listing documents its heating arrangement and accessible OPV. The CASABREWS manual lists a 2.7-liter water tank; a reservoir is not a boiler or a thermoblock volume. A previous description of a gallon-sized thermoblock was not a meaningful specification.
What integrated grinding changes
The 5700PRO can grind directly at the machine, reducing the number of separate appliances. Its automatic grinding is a timed dose, not a promise of the same gram weight for every bean. Check the dose after changing coffee or grind setting. Follow its specific adjustment procedure and start with the manual’s recommended setup.
The Legato lets you choose the grinder independently. That is useful if you want a particular single-dose routine or small espresso adjustments, but the grinder adds to both cost and counter space. A machine-only comparison hides that expense.
Brewing and milk still require technique
On both setups, distribute the grounds evenly, tamp level and measure the beverage output. A pressure display can help identify changes in flow resistance, but it cannot prove extraction quality. Taste the coffee and change one variable at a time instead of treating a gauge’s preferred zone as a guarantee.
Milk steaming remains manual on the 5700PRO described in the manual. You control the pitcher, tip position and stopping point. The Legato also requires those skills. Our milk-steaming guide explains how to build texture without adding excessive foam.
Cleaning and ownership
The 5700PRO manual provides separate flushing, descaling and grinder-cleaning procedures. Use the matching instructions, not a generic backflushing routine borrowed from another machine. On either setup, clean milk residue promptly, manage water quality and keep the grinder’s approved cleaning parts dry unless its instructions say otherwise.
For an older or used 5700PRO, ask about grinder condition, error messages, service history and replacement parts. Confirm the warranty actually applicable to that purchase. For the Legato, price the grinder and establish who will handle machine service.
Choosing between them
Consider the 5700PRO when you want a combined grinding-and-brewing station and its documented controls suit your coffee. Choose the Legato V2 when independent grinder selection and its brew controls are higher priorities. Our CASABREWS model-selection guide prevents confusion with other machines in that brand, while the Legato V2 guide covers its routine in more detail.
