EspressoBot Comparison

Machine Overview

Both espresso machines cater to beginner users but differ in price and type. The Cafelat Robot is priced at $375, whereas the Turin Legato is slightly more expensive at $499. Both brands, Cafelat and Turin, offer distinctive manual and semi-automatic options, respectively, promoting different user interaction levels while making espresso.

Brewing Comparison

In terms of brewing information, the Cafelat Robot activates through a manual pump with no specific heating component, while the Turin Legato utilizes a press button activation and features a single boiler with a thermoblock as a secondary element, allowing it to heat up in less than 5 minutes. The Robot has a water reservoir capacity of only 0.1 liters, whereas the Legato has a more substantial 1.7 liters. Both machines share a portafilter size of 58mm but diverge in their heating methods and overall brewing capacity.

Features Comparison

The Cafelat Robot features flow control and pre-infusion capabilities but lacks a steam wand and any automatic controls. On the other hand, the Turin Legato includes several advanced features such as PID control, shot timer, and a steam wand, providing more versatility for users. The Legato also offers hot water functionality, while the Robot focuses solely on manual brewing techniques.
