Know before you buy
Yes. Because the Turin Gallatin HX utilizes a heat exchange boiler, you can pull your shot and steam your milk simultaneously without waiting for the machine to switch temperatures.
The commercial E61 grouphead is a gold standard in espresso brewing, known for its excellent thermal stability and the use of a thermosiphon system that keeps the grouphead consistently hot for better extraction.
The PID digital display allows you to set and maintain a precise water temperature, which is essential for consistent flavor extraction. It eliminates the temperature fluctuations often found in older, non-PID heat exchange machines.
Yes, the machine features programmable pre-infusion, allowing you to soak the coffee puck with low-pressure water before full extraction. This helps prevent channeling and results in a more balanced, sweeter shot.
The steam wand is equipped with a 3-hole tip designed to provide high-pressure, dry steam. It is powerful enough to create the fine, velvety microfoam required for professional-quality latte art.
The machine uses a professional-grade 58mm portafilter. This is the industry standard size, making it easy to find compatible aftermarket accessories like precision baskets, tampers, and distributors.
