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!
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.
I’m honestly beyond belief — this is one of the best pieces of gear I’ve ever received. I’ve dreamed of owning a machine like this for years, and it was worth every ounce of the wait.
What makes it stand out? It’s a professional-grade system that somehow hits an incredible budget point without compromising on features. The E61 group head is a timeless classic, and the heat-up time is shockingly fast — especially for a boiler setup.
You’ve got flow control, PID control, and the ability to pull espresso and steam milk simultaneously. It checks every box I’ve been chasing. The build quality is phenomenal, and the pump is whisper-quiet — seriously impressive.
I own a lot of gear, and this machine still managed to blow past my expectations. That says a lot.
I purchased the Turin Legato V2 two weeks ago and I have been blown away! As compared to my previous machine, Breville Barista Express, it is night and day! So much more control and precision. I knew the coffee would taste great and that the shots would be easy to dial in, but an unexpected surprise was how powerful the steam wand is. Even though it's a single boiler machine, there is virtually no wait time between pulling a shot and using the steam wand. Super simple. The design is also a huge plus. It just looks great on the counter with a nice space for warming cups on top. Big fan and so happy with the purchase!
So far so good! Espresso Outlet was very responsive to questions and shipped quickly. The grinder was very easy to dial in and has been very consistent with a solid taste profile. Happy with the purchase.
I was one of the first buyers of the DF83V and was very excited before it arrived. Unfortunately, I haven’t found it to be a reliable grinder. Shot times are inconsistent, and when I tried to investigate the cause, I realized that the zero point is constantly changing.
I would set the zero point, turn on the grinder, adjust the setting, and then return to zero—only to find that it had shifted slightly in most cases. Repeating this process multiple times showed that the zero point jumps around unpredictably.
The upper burr carrier is bulky and heavy, and it rests on six very small springs that don’t seem adequate for the job. When adjusting the grind size, you can feel how unsmooth the mechanism is. The resistance when turning the dial changes from hard to easy throughout the adjustment, which feels strange and suggests that something isn’t working quite right.
Another major drawback is that these same six springs also play a role in burr alignment. If some of them wear differently or lose tension for any reason, it could result in the burrs not sitting at a consistent distance from each other across the entire cutting surface.
It’s possible that the specific unit I received was defective from the factory, but there’s no way for me to know for sure. What I do know is that it behaved this way from day one, and the issues may be related to the design choices outlined above.
I also understand that the grinder has since gone through two rounds of improvements, and those changes may address some of these problems. However, as a customer, I can’t recommend a company that releases a half-baked product with known issues and only addresses them later.
Nice 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!
