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.
Its a great value for a grinder, and one that might be in the top tier as a travel grinder. The one easily correctable issue is the pint glass looking cup that comes with it. It really needs to be paired with a true dosing cup, but to do that you need a "highchair" for the dosing cup. If you have a 3D printer I've got one loaded on printables at https://www.printables.com/model/1363325-turin-dm47-coffee-grinder-highchair-shaker-stand that should fit a few (one linked for $11.xx that works well) dosing cups.
Before purchasing the DM47, I used my TIMEMORE Chestnut C3S Pro Manual Coffee Grinder for all my coffee grinding. I make 72 ozs of cold brew per week with my AeroPress XL and hand-ground all the beans. After a lot of research, I chose the DM47 for the conical burrs to match the results of my TIMEMORE.
The DM47 was easy to dial in by comparing the grinds side by side. Retention is minimal as long as you use the bellow as you grind and mist your beans. Some beans will still stick, and you must have a brush or similar object to push the beans into the burs. The bar across the opening will hold some beans when pouring in 30 grams of beans, I have not had an issue with 15 grams. I turn the grinder on before dumping the beans in with a dosing cup.
Speed is excellent for my use and has cut my brewing time by half. The grinder is quiet. The cord with the transformer, due to being 12-volt compatible, can get in the way, but the cord is of sufficient length.
Clean up is easy except for the outer walls of the burrs, the section with the numbers, tens to retain ground coffee. It takes some time to clean them completely with a brush. The air puffer is ok, but does not move much air. The bellows do retain coffee grounds and are nearly impossible to clean totally.
The dosing cup will easily hold 30 grams of ground coffee.
I like it but it has a learning curve. The directions are a joke. Videos online helped some, but there needs to be a better one on dialing in the grind settings. It really is zero retention which will help a lot in not having to take it apart to clean it. Trying to get it back to your preferred grind is a trial in patience.
I like this grinder and I really enjoyed my coffee with the stock burrs.
Solidly built, compact, quiet, easy to clean, wonderful grind profile for pour over. I had high expectations that were exceeded on every point. If it disappeared I would immediately buy another

Let customers speak for us
from 1069 reviewsGreat service and shipping. Love the personal touch of the note in the box! Such a good product and company.
I just wish the box wasn’t have the information what it’s inside “Because it was a gift for my husband” Now he knows BUT he is happy
Great machine with stylish looks. Gives you total control of dialing in your coffee. Looks great on the counter and makes the perfect cup. Excellent for home use and could also stand its ground in light commercial environment. Would love it even more if it had a double boiler.
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.
Great delivery and grinder
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!
Great little coffee scale. Everything works perfect. Order delivery was very quick as well.
Works amazing. Make the best coffee with the beans grinded from the budget friendly (relative to the competition) and really can’t complain
Maybe it’s luck, but this grinder dialed in on my first shot. I bought this as a secondary grinder to my Mignon Zero 55. I decided to use this grinder as my decaf grinder. I set the grinder at 1.5 and it pulled so well I don’t even need to adjust. I do a 1:2.5 ratio on my decaf in 30 seconds and that’s what I got with this grinder. Very little retention near zero on first shot. Build is solid and the only thing that’s an adjustment for me is the small hole to pour the coffee into for the single does compared to the Mignon zero.
This is my first espresso capable grinder. Works great for my purposes. It’s combined with a Gaggia Classic Pro E24
Very happy with the grinder and the service from Espresso Outlet. I am new to this, and they have been great at answering my questions, often within a couple hours. Thanks!!
When I started my espresso journey, I had an all in one Breville. Hated the grinder. Eventually I bought a DF54 from Espresso Outlet and absolutely loved that machine. I can't recommend it highly enough. I can't help it, I love to tweak my setup and upgrade when I can. I recently upgraded to the DF64, and man, what a machine. I love it! Eventually, I'll probably start playing with burr sets, but I am so thrilled with this grinder! It's fast, relatively quiet (relatively folks, it's a grinder), and just so consistent. It's easy to clean, has virtually no retention and looks great on my counter. I absolutely would recommend this machine to anyone!
This is a great grinder, easy to use and works great
Amazing prosumer e61 machine with all the critical features you need to make the best espresso
