Excellent grinder highly recommend
The DF64 is a nice step up from my Rancilio rocky. It is much faster and easier to dial in. Changing the grind size is so convenient and repeatable it has greatly improved my espresso.
Good quality for the price. I like the single dose work flow too.
Have been using it daily for about 2 weeks. I like the size and weight of it (about half the size of Bambino Plus), feels well made and sturdy. So far it grinds very consistently and am not noticing issues with static (got a metal catch cup) or retention in the chute. It runs louder than the hand grinder, obviously, but it isn’t as loud as the blade style grinder I used to have for drip. Seems to be a great value for the price and am happy so far. Shipping was very quick for the in stock grinder!
Very happy with the DF54. Service was super quick as well.
I’ve had my Turin Legato V2 for two weeks now, and I’m genuinely impressed. The all matte black finish gives the machine a clean, modern look — and paired with my matte black Astra bottomless portafilter and accessories from MHW-3BOMBER, the overall aesthetic is just beautiful.
One of my favorite modifications was replacing the stock steam knob with a 1-inch black aluminum alloy billet cap, paired with a custom 3D printed adapter. It gives the machine a more premium, metallic feel, and makes steaming milk more satisfying both visually and tactilely.
Performance-wise, this is a massive upgrade from my previous HiBREW 20-bar espresso machine, which I had for almost a year. That unit suffered overheating issues and had to be repaired twice due to burned internal wiring. The Legato V2, on the other hand, has been stable, consistent, and feels like a true prosumer-level machine — especially with the PID control and manual pre-infusion.
Highly recommend for anyone looking to take their espresso workflow to the next level — both in performance and in build quality.
I have been using the Trek Brew for about a month now. I thought going from a double boiler at home to this while I'm traveling, there would be a pretty big downfall in espresso quality... in was wrong. The quality of shot I'm pulling from the Trek Brew is simply put, fantastic.
My espresso is much nearer to perfection.
My reference point is a modified Mazzer Major grinder, which I have owned and used for many years. It has 83MM burrs, a huge motor, and is quite large and heavy. It does a terrific job and I’m certainly not going to replace it, is I have of room for it. I recently bought the CF64V due to its size and price. It will travel with us four times each year to Florida in a tote box along with a Turin Legato V2, so we can enjoy good espresso drinks in a small Florida town that doesn’t have a decent café. We are there for 7 to 10 days on a revisit and I can justify this purchase just on cost savings alone, not to mention convenience.
I’ve only used this a few times to test it and make sure that I haven’t dialed in correctly for our Florida trip a few weeks from now, but everything about it really impressed me. It has terrific build quality, for my personal aesthetic taste it has a much more interesting visual appearance than the previous cylindrical slanted Turin models, and it’s very quiet. The default settings for the RPMs and the grind coarseness were pretty much dead on out-of-the-box for the average user. I tend toward restrainer shots and I will probably find myself dialing the espresso coarseness setting down to 22 or 23 instead of 25. At roughly 1/3 the size of the Mazzer Major, and at a price that is two thirds less – this is a bargain!
Other than being a bit fiddly with purging the steam wand it has been as expected, fantastic! Espresso outlet has been helpful as well. Thanks
