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.
I did a lot of research before buying this machine. I knew I wanted to get a capable machine in all areas (PID control, strong steam, 58 mm ecosystem), but all of the options within the spec range I was looking for were at least 500 dollars, and many didn’t have all the specs I wanted. After using this machine for a little over a month, I have been very impressed. The only thing keeping this machine from being just as top tier as many 1000 dollar machines is its lack of long term proven reliability. Despite this, everything I have seen online and experienced firsthand indicates that this machine hits seriously above its price. With all of that out of the way, I would not buy this machine with the expectation that you will be getting the same experience as an ultra high end prosumer machine. It still only costs 430$, which means that some parts on it will reflect the cheap price point. For example, the PID buttons are difficult to press and it is hard to know when you are pressing it. The steam knob is plastic. But all of this is to be expected when you are paying 430$ for a machine with the specs of a 1000$ machine. These problems don’t bother me, but are certainly worth noting.
So far after three weeks, this machine has performed great. The temperature stability is good for pulling a double shot and steaming milk, with minimal time to reheat. It has been great value.
Love this machine! Feels super well built and can’t wait to make many more drinks with it.
It's been great. Haven't had any issues with it.
I have been using the Legato V2 for about 6 weeks. It is an upgrade from a De'Longhi ECP 3630. What I like: the dual heating system, the temperature/time digital readout, the large water reservoir, the solenoid, the OPV, the deck light, the 58mm group head , and the general ease of use. Potential negatives: You still need to purge the steam wand before use, there is a warm up time of 5 to 10 minutes, some say the pre-infusion is iffy, but I am still experimenting, and there is no durability history. All-in-all, this is a good machine with many features at an attractive price.

★★★★★Beverly BGreat Service! It has been a few months since I purchased my machine, but I absolutely love it.

Let customers speak for us
from 1279 reviewsI started working with Barret on a problem I was having on my son's M6 that we bought from someone else not knowing Expresso Outlet was the sole US Distributor. Barret got him back up and running so I bought a M10 for myself through Expresso Outlet. The unit showed up well boxed and padded. Came with alot of extras. Wired it up and it runs flawlessly. Many Thanks again to Barret for all the email responses we had over the last few months.
Great roaster, still getting the hang of it. Bew into roaster but was able to make some good coffee. Really excited on continuing to learn how to use it more!
Had my grinder for almost 3 years and the button stopped working. Sent in an inquiry. No question asked and received a new button in a week.
Great roaster, it helped me step up my batch incredibly. Still fast, able to pump out 1lb easily. Learning curve as to be expected but I would suggest this brand to others.
Fantastic roaster. Upgraded from a m1 also have a 3e hot air roaster. Learning curve is steep but will worth jt if you stick wirh it
Worked great, fixed my problem and they shipped it out quickly at no cost. Much appreciated when a company doesn't leave their customers hanging. Much appreciated!
Joe and Barrett are amazing at customer service. It is what gives me the confidence to buy their products.
Great customer service! Joe was very patient and helpful when I had challenges with my setup. Satisfied customer. Thank you!
Received what I ordered when and as expected.
I love the DF64. Vast improvement over my burr grinder. Almost 0 retention. Some reviews noted it is loud. Perhaps, but I find it less annoying than my burr grinder. It is also much faster. I would recommend to others thinking about a disk grinder.
Amazing product
This machine is built well, performs its function with ease and the static problem is a bit overstated in reviews it's really not that significant for me with light beans.
Amazing grinder. Great value!
