EspressoBot Comparison

Machine Overview

The Bezzera Matrix DE is a high-end semi-automatic espresso machine priced at $2,999, designed for advanced users. In contrast, the Turin Legato is a beginner-friendly model available at a significantly lower price of $499. Both machines belong to the semi-automatic category but cater to different skill levels and budgets. This stark price difference may influence novice users to opt for the more accessible Turin Legato.

Brewing Comparison

In terms of brewing information, the Bezzera Matrix DE features a dual boiler system, with a heat-up time of 15-30 minutes and a copper boiler material, while the Turin Legato uses a single boiler and has a rapid heat-up time of less than 5 minutes using stainless steel and a thermoblock element. The Bezzera's brew group is PID controlled, allowing for precise temperature adjustments, whereas the Turin does not specify a group type. The Matrix DE has a higher brew boiler capacity of 0.4 liters as compared to the Legato's 0.5 liters despite the latter’s single boiler configuration. The pump on the Bezzera is rotary, providing superior brewing pressure, while the Turin employs a vibration pump.

Features Comparison

Key features of the Bezzera Matrix DE include auto shutoff, multiple PID controls, pre-infusion, steam pressure gauge, and concurrent brew and steam functionality. The Turin Legato offers a basic set of features, including a boiler pressure gauge, hot water option, and a steam wand, but lacks a few advanced attributes such as concurrent brew steam and flow control. Both machines come with pre-infusion and shot timers, essential for brewing control, but the Matrix DE is more feature-rich overall. The absence of steam pressure gauge and auto shutoff in the Turin may limit its functionality for more advanced espresso-making.
