Legato Espresso Machine

Turin Legato V2 would be the only machine in your price range (actually under it) that would be a notable upgrade. Makes very good espresso and milk drinks, not quite dual boiler but very near it with a brew boiler and separate thermoblock for steaming. Pre-infusion, PID control, adjustable OPV, and

How about a Turin Legato V2? I have a similar machine at home and it warms up fast with no waiting time to steam too. I can wake up, switch on the machine, go take a shower and the machine will be ready to make the first cup.

the gaggia is overrated. small boiler, bad temp control. temp surfing is annoying, making back to back shots is difficult. adding a PID would help, but most kits cost >200 and you have to spend a lot of time. i upgraded to the apex miicoffee v2 / turin legato v2 after my gaggia and am extremely happ

The turin Legato you have to use a screw driver The preinfusion on this (presoak) is identical to the Turin Legato V2 ---still lets w

some other details missing from the Turin Legato V2. It has flow control as well as OPV. It came with two steam tips-both work very well. Drip Tray is easy to remove and hasn't been a problem- I release water to heat up the head. I routinely spray the milk steamer before using it and after. I empty

I am now about a week or two on the Turin Legato V2. 1) No regrets. 2) first things I did was set OPV. You use the back flow stopper--black thing (rubber) -put it in a basket , put portafilter in and so easy to set. I went with 9 bars. 3) Set water flow (the recessed screw to the left of the portafi

I have the Turin Legato V2. I don't have any complaints about the steam knob at all. Nice grippy rubber knob of a very decent size. My one complaint relates to the touch sensitive buttons to set temperatures and preinfusion/ delay times. Sometimes touching them works, other times they just don't fir
