  1. John Murphy (Date: 05/13/2024)
    "I have had the Legato now for two weeks. I really like it. It has good temperature stability, and I’m able to pull consistent shots. The reviews that mention how the drip tray is just sitting in place are right. For the money, I think it’s a great machine."

    "For the price? Amazing! The Legato is absolutely a phenomenal machine for the relatively low price tag and is 100% a Gaggia killer... I've been using it for a month now, and it blows away my modded Gaggia on ease of use."

The Ninja Espresso Machine (ES601) offers an innovative three-in-one solution that allows users to brew espresso, drip coffee, and cold brew. With features like an integrated grinder, assisted tamper, and hands-free frothing, it provides considerable convenience for those who enjoy a variety of coffee styles. However, it leans more towards versatility rather than specialized espresso-making.

In contrast, the Turin™ Legato™ V2 Espresso Machine excels in delivering a superior espresso experience. With its dual PID temperature control and pre-infusion system, it ensures precise and consistent brewing, allowing for optimal extraction and café-quality shots. The focus on dedicated espresso technology makes it a standout choice for serious coffee enthusiasts who appreciate the craftsmanship behind each cup.

While the Ninja machine is excellent for users seeking multifunctionality and ease of use, the Turin Legato is designed for those who prioritize quality and control in their espresso-making process. For dedicated coffee lovers looking to elevate their brewing experience, the Turin™ Legato™ V2 is clearly a compelling choice, combining performance, precision, and an elegant design that will enhance any coffee ritual.
