Note about water hardness
Using hard water will ruin your espresso machine. Soft water no higher than 50ppm is required to keep your espresso machine running for the long term. Using hard water will void the warranty.
Solid Build Quality. Looks great, gives off a German seriousness, the boxy appearance is not a negative. Perfect size for a home setup. Thought about the 83V but the footprint turned me off. The CF64V/Rocio Manus combo outperforms the Linea/Mazzer Major I used to work professionally with
I have definitely been spoiled with Expresso Outlet’s Turin offerings and out of the four (4) different Turin grinder models that I have acquired through EO, this CF64v with the SSP Unimodal burr set installed by EO prior to their shipping it to me is a strong equal to that of my other favorite, the DF83v…. Of which I use primarily now for espresso with its SSP red sweet burr set that also performs well for my French Press… SO, getting back to this CF64v, I find that I even have less fines in this CF64v than that of my DF83v and the other two (2) Turin grinders as I have seen, at the most, 1/10th of a gram of grind variance from that of its original start bean weight out of this CF64v and most of the time the exact same total weight as that of its original bean weight… I highly recommend this particular CF64v model to anyone looking for a very well designed and an excellent build quality grinder…. and, at such an affordable price… AS a comparison to these two favorite Turin grinders of mine as to those of my former coffee life, back in the early 1990’s I had the smaller Mazzer and, more recently, as I got back into this coffee world again a few years ago, I had purchased the Mahlkonig X54 of which these two do not even hold a candle to the overall performance and resultant low maintenance requirements of this CF64v and the DF83v in their comparison to these former grinders… AND in my daily use, I do find that this CF64v leaves far fewer internal cavity grind leftovers for a clean-up than even found in my DF83v and it ;is so much lighter in weight as well as it does not take very much countertop space to that of my DF83v… SO, all in all, if I was to choose between these two well-built/superb grinders as well as to any other manufacturer’s offerings, I am finding that I like this CF64v the more that I use it…
Fast. Clean. Easy to dial in. Low retention. Very happy with the new grinder. I bought it as an upgrade from the DF54. Significant improvement.
I absolutely love this grinder. A solid price for a variable speed flat burr grinder. I’m still in the early stages of learning the range of capabilities, but I’m excited to be well equipped for the journey

★★★★★Beverly BGreat Service! It has been a few months since I purchased my machine, but I absolutely love it. Initially I had some issues with damage from shipping, but Joe took care of it immediately so there were no problems. He also stayed on the phone with me for a long time the day I received my machine so I could get everything working properly. I highly recommend!

Let customers speak for us
from 1092 reviewsNice design ! Good quality. Best price !
Great customer service and the M2 is awesome!
It was worth the wait! Grind is on point. Plenty of power. Customer service was heloful!
Great coffee. Great customer service.
Works great! Been very happy with it. Seems very solidly built and hopefully will last me for many years.
I don't think you could possibly find a single dose stepless espresso grinder built as well as this one for this price. It's heavy! Relatively quiet with little retention thanks to the bellows. I use a 54 mm portafilter, so I bought a dosing cup that size to make it easier. Happens to fit right inside the provided 58 mm, so perfect for grinding, then I just lift it out and pop it onto my portafilter.
It took me a long time to find a stepless grinder of this quality, thanks to the Espresso Outlet's YouTube video. Until I found it, I was almost going to spend a ridiculous amount of money on the niche zero. Thank goodness I didn't because this grinder is just as good for so much less.
Great service and quick shipping.
I have had several prosumer machines but this one is the real deal! The build quality is impressive and the internal components are so clean and well organized. It’s built like a tank. The gear pump is quiet, professional sounding and very accurate at both pressure and flow! I get some of the best shots I’ve made on this machine and love the programmability of the profiles. I’ve also had fun trying profiles that are uploaded by other users! This is an amazing value for a machine that’s at the top of technology and quality in the espresso game!
Great first machine. Graduating from pods and got tired of paying for a cup and I wanted to do it myself. Glad I did! This system is great so far! Just need to remind myself to do a backflush weekly as much as I am using it. Now I just have time to try different beans and dial things in to learn what I like. Thanks Espresso Outlet for having this as an option for us to get and learn with!
Great kettle! Bought this for my office setup, looks nice and works great!
Pros: Flow control lever is something I didn't expect to use as much as I do. Great feature. Very quiet compared to vibe pump machines. PID control is great, I love being able to see the pressure at the group head and the pump level too. Seems well built. Dual boiler and rotary pump at this price point is impossible to find outside of this machine. This feels like a machine with no functional compromises for its price point, where many other machines either use vibe pumps, are single boilers, have a tiny drip tray, no direct plumb, etc.
Cons: A bit nitpicky, but this thing is heavy. Put it somewhere you don't need to move it. Have two people if possible to lift it up onto the counter. I make a mess making coffee, I have thick hands. I can't quite fit my hands under the machine to clean the counter. I'll probably look into getting something I can set this on to just keep the work space a little cleaner.
General: Like others, I recommend a smart plug so you can have it warmed up in the morning. I do not direct plumb mine, so no context on those features, but drip tray + tank is good size and I don't have a ton of waste water happening, so it hasn't bothered me so far.
Ordered the Gallian R espresso machine on Sunday and recieved it on Tuesday. Very easy set up and the first cup of espresso in about 35 minutes. Wow! What a nice machine, great espresso and machine worked flausley. Great job guys, keep up the good work.
Consistent grind size and zero retention
So far, am very impressed. Still learning to steam as is much more powerful than previous machine, but love it! Have plugged it into a smart plug so it’s on and ready in the morning when I come down the stairs.
So far, totally awesome! It's easy to set up and use, brews a beautiful cup and is easy to clean.
