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.
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.
The Gallatin R HX is quite the machine, especially considering the quality, features, and performance vs. its price. This thing definitely punches up, knocking out high-priced machines in its class or higher.
The PID ensures more precise temperature control (no major fluctuations), and the rotary pump is much quieter than I was expecting. The shot timer is, of course, an added bonus (since you don't need to mess with a timer on a scale), but you do need to account for any pre-infusion time in the overall shot time it seems, which is fine as long as you are aware of that.
Heat-up time is definitely less than 30 minutes, maybe more like 15-20 minutes or possibly even less at times. I have mine connected to a smart outlet and a SwitchBot to automate the start-up process in the morning; there is an Eco mode that basically puts the machine into a low-power state if you are so inclined.
The machine is just impressive to look at also. The walnut accents are classy, and they feel smooth and classy, too. The steam/hot water joysticks can be used in any direction, and you can either give gentle pressure on the stick, or toggle it completely to hold the position open. The steam wand works very well; milk frothing is as expected, and you can brew & steam at the same time if needed.
I have not yet started to experiment with the flow-control valve, but it, too, has a lovely walnut handle. With the handle turned all the way to the right, you are at full flow, and then from there it decreases the flow as you turn to the left. I will need to explore this function more as time allows!
Overall, this is a wonderful, beautiful machine, especially at this price-point, and I don't think anyone would be disappointed with all of these features and the build-quality for its price. Well done, Turin & EO!

from 1131 reviewsThe larger chute makes your df54 even better! Easy and quick install.
Great product. Quick, easy and speedy ordering and delivery. Highly recommend. Zero complaints. 😁
So far pretty happy with the purchase.Retention is little to none and it is a decently quiet grinder. The worm screw is difficult to use if you want to switch from espresso to a pour over. I am only using it for my espresso.
Kaleido M2 heats up fast and is ideal size for my weekly coffee consumption of 300 grams or so. The Kaleido monitor works well with a little practice to provide full functionality. I haven’t been able to use the Artisan software due to lack of appropriate laptop computer.
Great scale! Exactly what I needed
I am very pleased with this grinder! It is perfect for my needs as I learn to pull shots at home
Love it so far, but admittedly it is taking me quite a bit of time to get my recipes dialed in using a new model grinder for the first time in more than five years. Pleased that Espresso Outlet shipped the product two weeks prior to the expected delivery time frame.
Simple and seemless online ordering with no problems
We love this grinder! We were usind another grinder we bought off Amazon - very inexpensive but got the job done.However, it was hard to scoop the grinds out and properly measure. We love the ease and convenience and options to change the grind size per. Highly recommend.
Used df 54 for 2 years with no problems until cleaning it i deformed the plastic declumper putting a brush to far in discharge shoot. It clogged up and was useless. Bought the metal declumper and still clogged up. Then I seen video on youtube about upgrade kit front espresso outlet. I installed upgrade kit and have had no issues even with grinding oily roasted beans. Thx guys for solving my clogging issues. Very satisfied.
Have been very much enjoying the DF64 Gen 2.5! Easy to order and came on time from Espresso Outlet!
Phenomenal machine. Completely blown away with this upgrade (from Breville Barista Pro). I can achieve better than cafe now☕️
Wonderful upgrade! Couldn’t be happier!
