Know before you buy
Yes, the Legato V2 features a dual heating system. It uses a dedicated stainless steel boiler for brewing and a separate thermoblock for steaming, allowing you to perform both tasks simultaneously.
Yes, the dedicated flow control dial lets you manually adjust the water flow rate throughout your extraction. This gives you the ability to profile your shots and experiment with different flavor extractions.
The Legato V2 uses a standard 58mm portafilter size with a Rancilio-style bayonet, making it compatible with a wide range of aftermarket baskets, tampers, and distribution tools.
The machine is equipped with a PID controller that allows you to adjust the brew temperature in 1-degree Celsius increments, ensuring consistent thermal stability for your coffee.
No, this is a dedicated espresso machine and does not include an integrated grinder. You will need to pair it with a separate high-quality burr grinder to achieve the fine grind required for espresso.
Pre-infusion gently saturates the coffee puck with water before applying full pump pressure. This helps prevent channeling and promotes a more even extraction, which is especially useful for lighter roast coffees.
