Customer Reviews
Great machine for a home barista
Love the machine. It has features you aren't going to find at this price point. Makes a great espresso, but it takes a minute to get everything dialed in.
Only real problems relate to the drip tray. Its too tall (cup clearance issues), doesn't actually have that much volume, and isn't well secured. I was actually looking at designing something in my 3d printer in order to gain a few inches back so I can put in my regular mug sizes.
The first machine I bought was DOA, but after talking to support and sending them a video for diagnostic purposes, they sent me a new machine the next morning.
I have been pleased with the function of the machine. Idid get an error code (E6) at one point and I had to defer to the Turin Lagato Manual to find the solution. Turns out it was a simple fix. I am just beginning to play around with flow control and pre infusion. I think it will be very fun and stable machine to use.
As far making espresso it does a good job. I'm still working on my grind settings.
The drip tray is very poorly designed. I had to add foam to the inside to keep it from moving around.
Not happy with the way the portafilter fits, but it works ok.
I give it an overall rating of 4.
Just got it but the machine works great, for those wondering the normcore 58mm bottomless Porta filter fits and works great, if you use a scale, current one I have is 1 inch so you have roughly 3-3.5 inches of room for the cup.
I am also using this on a 15 amp breaker along with other electronics working and no issues. Wattage is around 930-1330 watts with a peak at 1780 for about 3 seconds.
