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.
Does an excellent job on both espressos and milk drinks. Plenty of steam power
Absolutely love this machine. It reads bars from the group head & not the boiler or pump for accurate readings. 2 ulka Italian vibratory pumps. Super fast heat up time(2min espresso boiler & under 6 for steam boiler) The best part is it retains heat very well so I can turn it off instead of just leaving it sitting on, and it'll heat up even faster. I haven't tested the temperature coming out of the machine but it's super consistent and the boiler heating system is like the Breville DB so it's accurate to 0.1⁰c.
I have not done a OPV or dimmer mod but have no problem hitting the extraction pressure I want. If you like to do mods this machine has a ton of room inside so you will never have to worry about trying to make something fit. If you make milk based drinks the steam wand on this machine is great and produces silky smooth micro foam. I highly recommend this machine.
I had spent a complete year in my pre-purchase decision before landing on this machine. What settled it for me is the double boiler at the price point of a Rancilio Silvia with an E61 grouphead and a powerful steam wand. It comes with three-hole and four-hole tips. I use the 4-hole.
The machine does have a few quirks. First, the "double" shot button is more a QUADRUPLE shot button as it is set to output 60ml!!! Don't waste your time and coffee trying to dial in with the "double shot" button!!! An 18-gram basket should output 36 ml in 20 - 30 seconds. The "single" shot button is closer to the 36-gram target, being set to outupt 30 ml, but still not good enough. Mine outputs around 26 - 27 ml which is under-extracted enough to taste sour and disgusting! The buttons can be re-programmed to your target extraction yields. To dial in and for general use, stick with MANUAL and a proper coffee scale/timer. Stop the machine when 34 ml have been dispensed. It continues to pour the remaining 2 ml after stopping the extraction, so you need to stop the machine 2 ml prior to target. The machine requires a very fine grind to come up to pressure. I paired it with a Eureka Mignon Specialita and that is set at +0.125. The machine will not reach pressure if set coarser; the machine will choke if set finer. My grinder burrs chatter at -0.5. With the grinder so configured, I routinely pull 9 - 11 bars. The steam wand spurts water when you first purge, so you want to purge 2x to 3x into a tall cup and maybe have a barista towel over that, or you'll make a mess.
Overall a great machine, especially if you take the time to correctly dial in and do manual pulls (and/or program your shot buttons to the correct extraction yields). I'll also note that I work with store-bought medium and dark roast beans and concoct my own 70/30 Robusta/Arabica blends.
I bought two naked portafilters, VST baskets (18 and 27 grams), a palm distributor and a self-leveling 30-lb spring loaded tamper. I'm very pleased with the setup.

Let customers speak for us
from 1076 reviewsSo 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.
Sleek & compact design. Love the space on top to store cups and such! Steam does a great job, and it heats up from being completely off very quickly! Very happy with this machine!
Great 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!
