Well I bought the Turin Legato V2 (I'm in the UsA). I was either going to get the Gaggia or the Gemilai 3007Z (Turin Legato V2 or MiCoffee Apex V2 in these parts). Gaggia interested me due to it's long solid reputation but I wanted to be able to adjust things as my tastes change in coffee every so o

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

I'm a true believer that the turin legato v2 is the best machine you can get for $500. For reference, I used to have one.

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 measured without estimating--- in ml. 19 grams of water for 3 seconds of preinfusion (19ml) 30ml for 8 second (p1 + p2) those 5 second of preinfusion are 11 grams (11ml). I measured without estimating--- in grams . One day I'll buy a blue tooth scale which then allows me to run a better flow meter
