The burr is nice and sharp. The adjustability is good. However it jams if its not a hot atart and it gave trouble turinong off at first. It tends to be messy as there is not a good captur method for the coffee grinds.
I'm very satisfied with the service from Espresso Outlet.
I've only had my DF64V for a few weeks, having run about a pound and a half of beans through it. I didn't break the burrs in with a few kilos of cheap coffee as, I'd rather endure the break-in than waste the hard work of the pickers.
So with the combination of some burr break-in and getting to know my beans, I'm pulling some great shots.
I can't speak to random comments about stalling, as I consider that to be misuse of the grinder (i.e. light roasted beans, ground at 800 rpm for espresso).
I've been grinding medium light beans at 1200 rpm and my shots are coming out predictably.
Noise was a concern, as it's difficult to get a handle on noise from the YouTube reviews, but I'd call it minimal, but high-pitched (when grinding). When not grinding, I have to feel the case for subtle vibrations to tell if it's on.
I find the bellows to be useful, unlike most YouTube reviewers. I'm not sure how much the ionizer works, but with with a couple of RDT sprays, I'm consistently getting from 17.9 to 18.0 g out when loading 18.0 g.
I love the magnetic chute. This is a brilliant idea!
Love everything about it but the plasma anti-static stays on so I have to unplug daily (I understand I can open up the machine and easily fix but have not done so yet and really should not have to on a new machine). But it grinds great and looks great. The cup does not fit too well so it does not look straight which bugs me a bit.
Amazing grinder. Couldn't be happier with it. Shipped fast.

Let customers speak for us
from 1084 reviewsI 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.
I've had the Turin legato v2 for over a month now and can't be happier. Machine works amazing and the 58mm for accessories is perfect
Thanks espresso outlet for the quality open box!
I started my espresso journey in early 2024 with the purchase of a Breville Barista Pro, the newer version with Baratza burr set. First mod I did there was a single dose hopper. From there I began trying different coffees, experimenting with roast levels, etc. Towards the end of 2024 I realized I preferred lighter roasts, and from all the research I was doing learned that the integrated conical burr grinder in my BBP wasn't suited to getting the most out of the those lighter roasted options. After much thoughtful consideration and research, I settled on the DF64. And wow am I glad I did.
I feel like if I didn't upgrade to this grinder, my coffee obsession might've died. Getting this grinder unlocked a whole new world of espresso possibilities for me. More clarity, more consistency, and just overall better coffee experience.
This grinder is built like a TANK. And as a person who likes to tinker and mod, it's super easy to work on and clean.
Finally, I am beyond pleased with the buying and CS experience with EspressoOutlet. They are incredibly responsive, their prices are great, and the shipping was fast.
I've had this grinder a year and I'm now considering an upgrade to the DF83v v3, and I wouldn't consider buying it from anywhere else but EspressoOutlet!
The perfect budget grinder for a beginner. Works great!
it is nice and heavy and very quite so far it seems well build
Love this scale!! Measures everything out perfectly and accurately.
Love how spacious it is on my countertop! Nice design and does a fabulous job with espresso grinds. Very quiet as well.
