Current V2 model: This listing is for the updated V2 configuration. It is a 120V machine for U.S. use, ships to U.S. addresses only, and includes a one-year Espresso Outlet warranty and support for units purchased here. Current finishes and availability are shown above.
Turin Legato V2 Espresso Machine with Dual PID and 58mm Portafilter
The Turin Legato V2 is a compact home espresso machine built around a 550ml stainless steel brew boiler and a separate steam thermoblock. This hybrid design provides temperature-controlled brewing and quick access to steam without the footprint or price of a large E61 machine. A standard 58mm portafilter, adjustable OPV, dual PID settings and programmable pre-infusion make the V2 unusually flexible for its class.
Version 2 adds the controls buyers asked for: an externally adjustable OPV control screw, independent brew and steam temperature settings, and adjustable pre-infusion time and delay. Stainless steel, black and white finishes are offered as current inventory allows.
Turin Legato V2 Review: Hands-On Video, Strengths and Limits
Review source: Lance Hedrick’s hands-on review of a 120V Legato V2 supplied by Turin. He evaluates its controls, espresso, temperature response, steaming and internal construction. The observations below describe his reviewed sample, rather than a new test of every current production unit.
What he valued: adjustable pressure, PID temperature settings and programmable pre-infusion at the machine’s price point. He also demonstrates textured milk using the stock steam wand.
What he criticized: slower steaming and the exposed control board’s proximity to water fittings, which raised a long-term serviceability concern. His review does not establish a failure rate.
How he checked temperature: a thermocouple test basket, repeated runs and a 95°C setpoint. He distinguishes warming the test assembly from later runs and observes some readings above the setpoint. This is a demonstration of one machine under his conditions, not a guaranteed temperature tolerance.
550ml brew boiler plus a separate steam thermoblock with independent settings.
It is a hybrid, not two conventional boilers. Follow the espresso-then-milk routine in the current manual.
58mm portafilter, adjustable OPV and pre-infusion controls.
The machine still needs an espresso-capable grinder and repeatable puck preparation; change one setting at a time.
8.75-inch-wide body and an accessible purchase price.
Allow reservoir access and budget separately for a grinder, scale and cleaning supplies.
For your own comparison, use the same coffee, dose, beverage yield, milk weight and starting temperature across several repetitions. Record warm-up conditions and settings so a result can be repeated. Current accessories and production details can differ from earlier review samples.

Why Choose the Legato V2?
Brew boiler plus steam thermoblock
The 550ml brew boiler provides a stable reservoir for espresso water, while the separate thermoblock heats for milk steaming. You do not need to switch a single boiler from brew temperature to steam temperature.
Dual PID settings
Set the brew and steam systems independently. Brew temperature can be matched to different coffees, while steam adjustment lets you tailor milk-texturing performance.
Adjustable OPV and pre-infusion
V2 provides an accessible OPV adjustment plus programmable pre-infusion time and delay. These are useful tuning tools, but they do not replace a correct grind, dose and puck preparation.
Standard 58mm ecosystem
The stainless 58mm portafilter format accepts a wide range of baskets, tampers, puck screens and preparation accessories commonly used on prosumer machines.
Fast, compact routine
The listed warm-up is about five minutes, and the narrow 8.75-inch body fits counters where a full-size E61 machine may be difficult.

A Practical Legato V2 Routine for Lattes and Cappuccinos
Preheat: fill the reservoir and follow the manual’s startup procedure. Wait for the coffee-button indicators to stop flashing; warm the portafilter and cup as well.
Pull the espresso: use freshly ground coffee and a scale. The automatic coffee button stops at the programmed time; with the manual button, stop the shot yourself at the desired yield.
Steam the milk: follow the manual’s sequence after brewing. Close the steam control when finished, then wipe and briefly purge the wand as directed.
The brew boiler and steam thermoblock have separate temperature settings, so you do not need to raise a single brew boiler to steam temperature. The Legato V2 is a hybrid heating design. If simultaneous brewing and steaming is central to your routine, compare the Gallatin V heat exchanger and Gallatin DB dual boiler. See section 4.3 of the Legato V2 user manual for the operating sequence.
How to Dial In the Legato V2
Begin with the factory pressure setting and a simple recipe. Weigh the coffee dose, distribute evenly, tamp level and weigh espresso yield. If the shot flows too quickly, grind finer; if it barely flows, grind coarser. Only after grind is close should you experiment with temperature, pre-infusion or OPV settings.
Pressure adjustment changes the machine’s ceiling, but the puck creates resistance. Do not use the OPV to compensate for an unsuitable grinder or uneven preparation. For milk, purge condensation, introduce air near the surface, then roll the milk until glossy. Wipe and purge the wand immediately afterward.
Legato V2 vs Gallatin V vs Gallatin DB
The Legato V2 is intended for buyers who want a compact 58mm machine with useful temperature and pre-infusion controls at an accessible price. The Gallatin machines add the thermal mass and milk-drink workflow of an E61 prosumer platform, but they require more counter space, warm-up time and investment.
E61 group and dual boilers need thorough heat saturation
Best fit
Compact value, espresso experimentation and moderate milk use
Classic E61 workflow and frequent milk drinks
Independent temperature control, rotary-pump quietness and flow profiling
Main tradeoff
Less steam reserve and thermal mass than the Gallatin machines
HX temperature management and longer warm-up
Higher cost and larger footprint
Which machine should you choose?
Choose the Legato V2 if compact dimensions and value are the priorities and you want a capable 58mm home machine without moving to a full-size E61 platform.
Choose the Gallatin V if you regularly prepare milk drinks and want a classic lever-operated E61 heat-exchange machine.
Choose the Gallatin DB if you want independent boiler temperatures, a rotary pump and manual flow profiling.

Removable drip tray and reservoir
Instruction materials
Not included: Coffee grinder, scale, beans and cleaning detergent. The small bottle of backflush powder supplied with some earlier units is no longer included.
Cleaning and Water
Use water made for espresso equipment, avoiding both scale-heavy water and completely demineralized water. Rinse the basket and portafilter, wipe the group area and clean the steam wand after each session. Backflush according to the current manual and use detergent at its recommended interval. Contact Espresso Outlet before an OPV adjustment or internal service if you are unsure.
Choose a Grinder for the Turin Legato
The Legato V2 is sold without a grinder. Choose an espresso-capable burr grinder with fine adjustment, and include a scale in your setup budget. These single-dose options offer different burr platforms and adjustment workflows:
Turin DF54: compact 54mm flat burrs; choose Stainless Steel Espresso or Red Titanium Espresso for an espresso-focused setup.
Turin SK40: 40mm conical burrs with a side-mounted worm-drive knob for gradual stepless adjustments.
Turin DF64 Gen 2.7: a 64mm flat-burr platform with more compatible aftermarket burr choices. Select the burr profile for your coffee and brewing style.
Turin Legato is the model name; this listing is for the V2 configuration described above. The V2 manual and current specifications on this page apply to this listing. If you own an earlier Legato, confirm your version before choosing replacement parts or following version-specific adjustment instructions.
What changed on the Legato V2?
V2 adds an adjustable OPV control screw, independent PID settings for brew and steam, and adjustable pre-infusion time and delay.
Is it a dual boiler machine?
No. It combines a 550ml brew boiler with a separate steam thermoblock. The heating systems can be set independently, but they are not two conventional boilers.
How do I move from espresso to steaming milk?
Follow the manual’s espresso-then-milk sequence: finish the shot, operate the separate steam thermoblock with the steam control, then wipe and purge the wand. The daily workflow above explains the steps.
How quickly does it warm up?
The listed rapid-heating time is about five minutes. Allow the portafilter and cup to warm as well.
Does it use a 58mm portafilter?
Yes. It uses a 58mm stainless steel portafilter and includes single and double baskets.
Will aftermarket E61 portafilters fit the Legato V2?
Most aftermarket E61 portafilters will fit the Legato V2, but we cannot guarantee compatibility because we have not tested every option on the market.
What is the adjustable OPV for?
The over-pressure valve limits pump pressure. Make small, informed adjustments only after grind and puck preparation are consistent.
