I’m loving my new machine. Only thing is it takes very long to warm up compared to my last one.
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 1242 reviewsI ordered a set of dlc burrs for a newly purchased df 64, although turin seems to have transitioned to the Red Titanium burrs. The people at Espresso Outlet were able to fulfill my order. The communication could not have been better. This review is not about the burrs I haven't installed them yet. The review is for Espresso Outlet the service they provide is outstanding.
The grinder works great, nice work flow much quieter than the baratza sette I have been using. Nice fluffy clump free grind. This was a preorder it came when expected. I would gladly do business with Espresso Outlet again.
Wow am I impressed with this grinder. Tremendous machine for the price. I upgraded over what I had and this is a massive improvement. Nicely done Turin. Quality product and highly recommended.
I use it only for espresso and it’s performed flawlessly, it throws to within, .3g 15g in 14.7out is the the greatest difference I’ve ever found generally it’s within .1 or right on. A silver colored cup would be better than the black so that you can see how much coffee is still stuck inside after after transporting into the Portafilter transferring into the Portafilter.
I would definitely recommend it to my friends:)
Love this machine! Feels super well built and can’t wait to make many more drinks with it.
Great product. Love it
Excellent update to a fine grinder design. Fit and finish , anti-static, motor refinements: all at a great price. Superb grinder for espresso: red titanium burrs are so good. Espresso outlet has great support and customer service.
Built like a tank. Looks to have been built by the Soviet space program to withstand a missile. I've had it for a week and the steaming performance really stands out. For pure espresso, I find it a little finicky, but slowly dialing it in.
It's been great. Haven't had any issues with it.
Always Hype when someone has something to sell - that makes me very hesitant to buy anything over the net. BUT - So far (2 weeks) all works much better than I thought it might. I followed directions exactly - now have it set on "50" and get great coffee over my old Breville grinder. Wife won't let me give it away yet tho!!!
Beautiful piece of machinery. Works like a charm and lends a beautiful aesthetic to the whole room.
Love this grinder. Really easy to use and amazing quality.
Super awesome home espresso grinder! Small footprint, beautiful design, heavy duty, grinds a perfect shot, fairly priced. Highly recommend!
Nice heavyweight grinder. Small footprint and attractive. Still learning grind sizes.
