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 1167 reviewsSo far good!I've had the MC3 just under a month and it's been a joy to use! Very easy to figure out! Im very familiar with Espresso machines and even those who are not should be to figure out pretty easily.It's made great espresso and the steam power is great! I love the hole tip that comes stock on the steam wand. I love the fact the grouphead has internal heaters so you can be assured temps are more stable!
So good!thank you so much!
Have owned the machine for a couple of weeks, extremely fast shipping and great customer service. The machine itself has huge value and features for the price. The quality of the build also feels unmatched for the price category. The workflow has a slight learning curve, but once you get it down, it produces beautiful espresso shots and the steaming capability is also very solid for its category.
Great machine, love the espresso it makes
Hace unos meses compre una maquina de espresso y me ayudaron con todo lo que necesitaba, el tiempo de respuesta es bueno y lo mas rápido posible.
Una de las mejores maquinas de espresso que e tenido a demás es silenciosa por su bomba rotativa, nunca pensé ver una compra que incluyera todo lo que necesitas, esta muy completa, lo único que no tiene es una bascula pero tiene la opción de agregar una cuando la vayas a adquirir lo cual te ahorras tiempo y búsquedas ya que te ofrecen la qué necesitas,
Es un ganar ganar
I have had the Milo play grinder for a few weeks now and it is everything I was looking for. I like switching between different brewing methods often and the Milo play can precisely calibrate itself With a click of a button to the exact grind size I program it for. So far it has very good constancy. It has replaced two grinders on my countertop.
Absolutely love it! Espresso outlet is the best. I now have 3 of their grinders, their espresso machine and their roaster!
DF54, to match up with my Mara X
What can I say that hasn't been said before, just a real good coffee grinder (so far) I've only had this grinder for a few weeks, bough latest version v3 with the red titanium burrs ($235.00 and after tax $255.00 U.S.) I move from a Eureka Facile grinder which has served me well since 2021.
What like about the DF 54 is how easy it is to get at the burrs and to clean it, much easier than the Eureka.
It not very noisy, small foot print, does not jump around when grinding only thing that was a little annoying was the bellows fit to grinder, the lid fits tight so when you try to take it of the bellows comes off with it, not a deal breaker but can be annoying when making several drinks
Overall I would give it a -A, I think that for around 85 to 90% of the people making home espresso this would be a great grinder for them :)
It surpassed our expectation! Everything build withquality and the computer connection works perfectly.
1. Overall build quality is amazing. As with Data and Lita, build quality is second to none. The Play is no different. Grinder is almost 20lbs. Look and feel is great and looks right at home sitting on my counter.
2. The digital burr gap is amazing! It is fast and responsive. It can change settings between espresso and filter in a few seconds. This will make dialing in coffees so easy, especially if you like switching between different roasts. You can have pre-set programmed burr gap for light, medium, and dark roasts. It will make dialing in a snap. This was the main feature that sold me on the grinder. I cannot stress enough what a game changing feature this is.
3. It's fast. 5-8 seconds for 20-30 gm dose.
4. Performance - I have been impressed with performance. The espresso quality has been great and I have had some amazing shots. The shot have been some of the best I have had. This grinder paired with a step-down basket has elevated my espresso game.
I did a side by side comparrison with my hand grinder for pour over today. I have a 1zpresso J hand grinder. This has been my daily driver for pour over. I set up the Play for 500rpm and 450um burr gap. I could not tell discernable difference. There were slightly nuanced changes but most of these made me to lean towards the Play. For reference, I was using a light roast Ethiopian from Black & White - Bekele Belachew Anaerobic natural. I was using Hario V-60.
1. Overall, I couldn't be happier with my purchase! A huge shout out to the team at Espresso Outlet for teaming up with this amazing company. I have been waiting for this grinder for over a year when I first saw the Milo II.
I have been using the Milo Play for almost 3 weeks and am delighted with it. Over the last 25 years I have owned 3 grinders, Mazzer Mini, Baratza Vario, and most recently the DF64V. This grinder surpasses them in both form and function. It is well made of metal and plastic and feels like high quality. It took just a few minutes to get used to the electronic grind adjustment. This would be a great grinder all on it's own but when combined with the Wendogee Data S, it is even better. In stand alone mode there are several easily set profiles (presets) which will make moving between different types of coffee a breeze. Profiles control speed, grind size and time. When used with the Data S, the speed and grind size can be part of the profiles and once a profile is selected, a tap of the grind button sets up the grinder for that profile. For me this is what makes the grinder the best I have ever used. If I see during the pour that a grind adjustment needs a tweak, I edit the profile right then. It takes just a few seconds. The next next time I use that profile, the updated grind settings are ready to go. No more writing it down or trying to remember. This grinder has made keeping track of grind settings for different coffees easy. At my age, a grinder with a good memory is a real asset.
Great little grinder.
