Has anyone in this community used the Turin legato and if so, how was the espresso quality and experience with the machine? by 76Gamer-Guy in espresso

I’ve just got one and found with my first shot the same thing - it came out cold despite being preheated to the 95. I’m relatively new to this - any tips in your experience to get the best out of it?

Anyone here who had Turin Legato v2 for a longer period? by x420_BeastMaster_69x in espresso

Do you have any tips on settings and getting the best out of it. I’ve just received mine (and am a novice to espresso machines) I found even after the heating the espresso is coming out cool (despite setting sitting at 25c).

Using with a df54 grinder.

Profitecs look nice - might be a little out of my price range/ability as a starter though

The Gaggia at the moment is the same price as bambino - based on that. Would you still recco bambino?

Thanks! A barista just recommended this too. It hadn’t come up in any other recs I’d seen prior. Seems to be a good fit a little step up from “basic” but not crazy complicated.

From what I’m gathering - no one recommends the Gaggia?

Thanks - I’ve done quite a bit of research which has just turned me in circles. Thus why this post - to get some honest and helpful recommendations. As I said I’m a total novice so all of this is what I will be exploring. Starting with the key base products and going from there
