I am super passionate about coffee and educating people on all aspects of this amazing drink. I love bringing the stories back from the other side of the world about how they grow and process the coffee differently on each farm, in each region, and in each country. I also love helping baristas around the world make better coffee for themselves, whether they're at home, professional, competitors and or even just venturing out into the wide world of coffee.

The Gaggia is such an amazing machine after you upgrade to a good bottomless and vst basket. Also a 9 bar spring. Easy upgrades. Been using it for years and no desire to upgrade.

For anyone based in Australia, I recommend to buy Breville dual boiler when they are on promotion at A$1000 level, which is quite often and is till going on some big retailers and forget about anything else until it breaks. I don't really understand their pricing strategy for different countries haha. I wish I have kept it before leaving Austraila! Only downside I can find is that the size can be a little bit wide for some kitchen. In terms of customizability for shots, I don't think there is a comparable machine unless you go for DE level machine.

Picopresso rules the world. Brilliant design. Outstanding results.

Gaggia and Boilergate are a fact unfortunately I am one of those affected, sad I really like Gaggia but don't buy one before they remove the coating in the boiler

[dejedejsson]

The Turin Legato is sold under several brand names, it is manufactured by a Chinese manufacturer that supplies several dealers with the same machine.

My first question is: Are you going to knock the cup over next to your right arm???? Great video. Always enjoy your enthusiasm and down to earth explanations!! Cheers

[Sanmer]

The Gaggia looks like an excellent machine, specially with the Gagguino mods that can take even the old Gaggia Classic's and turn them into something a lot more like a Decent.

That's incredible potential for an espresso machine that can be found second hand for less than $500.

Turin is the house brand of Espresso Outlet here in the US. The exact same unit is being sold elsewhere as the MiiCoffee Apex, Gemilai Espresso, and others. The price is certainly outstanding, as well as the feature set, but I have serious concerns about quality and reliability on what is essentially a rebranded model. In this price range, the Gaggia really is the way to go. It could be a great way to get into home espresso, or it could be the one and only machine you would ever need. And you're right, the mod community are really welcoming and helpful.

Another great video covering the entry level machines.
The Breville DBD is definitely the smart choice in Australia. I know plenty of people who have had theirs for upwards of 10yrs with regular cleaning & filters. Sure the O-rings need replacement every three years but otherwise are very durable. The biggest drawback is that they are quite a big machine if you want to keep it in the kitchen…

Thank you for your recommendations, Ryde! I'm still in the 'homework' stage so I really appreciate all the information! Cheers!

I fitted a PID to my classic evo Pro two weeks ago, and I can't speak highly enough of this machine. Streaks above my old breville dual boiler

[bhooshanparikh]

Good to have a bracket of $1000-2000… seems it be the real sweet spot based on general conversations I’ve had with some of my friends and colleagues.

[SunriseLAW]

There is a LOT of 'buzz' surrounding the HiBrew H-10A. I have it in my shopping cart for $273. I would deeply appreciate guidance before pulling the trigger. Any thoughts? Thank you, from Andy in OR

I’ve upgraded to Gaggia evo and I like everything about it even without modding but the boilergate issue is really a disappointing issue, I have not seen any particles yet but I am expecting them, if so I would replace the boiler with the old uncoated one. That’s all

[VWCM]

i'm canadian and i looked into quickmill but unfortunately it's 900 when the new gaggia classic with the brass boiler is 749. i couldn't justify spending that much when i still had to take into account i had to buy other accessories alongside

[MrRondonmon]

The US version of the Evo has a 9 bar spring, and all over I think the group head is now brass only (no chrome coating) and the porta filter is solid steel, no chrome coating. I have an Super-Auto Gaggi (hate it) and the DeLonghi 3420 (love it) but I am going to wait 6 months or so and see what the feed back is on the Turin model, thats a steal of a deal. Thanks mate

I like your video! So much I was wondering which espresso machine that make cappucino do you suggest for a food truck?

[marioitaliano]

Great video and it's also good to hear an Australian accent doing sleep professional videos. I've been wanted lucky people that bought a sunbeam and have the longevity and good coffee too. Do you find much difference between Breville and Sunday?

[emmahain]

Thanks for this! We watched it last night and it reminded me to heat my portafilter - which I just did and the coffee was delicious!!!! We have the Breville dual boiler that is on its last legs I think.

15:50 Tom’s Coffee Corner has done a series on the Turin Legato/MiiCoffee Apex. Because he’s actually an electrical engineer, he pulled it to bits and looked at all the internal components. Basically, it’s very well built and I got the impression that the quality is there, which will come as a surprise to some people.

What he didn’t like about it was the lack of an OPV. What it has instead is an adjustable flow rate, which is a screw under the top, next to the group head. Personally, I don’t know enough to be able to decide on this but the machine seems to be aimed at the Profitec Go but at the price of a GCP. It seems to me that all it needs is an OPV and it should be good but again, I don’t know enough to say.

There have been plenty who have criticised it for being made out of Chineseum and - sight unseen, mind you - not being of the quality of the GCP. Tom’s conclusions rather put the lie to this and he called it the GCP killer, which, if you don’t care about resale value, it probably is. He seems to have no concerns about its durability.

I’d like to see you review it.
