EspressoBot Comparison

Machine Overview

Machine 1, the Diletta Bello, is priced at $1600 and caters to an intermediate skill level, while Machine 2, the Turin Legato, is significantly more affordable at $499 and is designed for beginners. Both machines are semi-automatic, appealing to users who desire more control over their brewing process. The disparity in price reflects the complexity and capabilities offered by each machine. Diletta is known for its robust offerings, while Turin provides a more accessible entry point into espresso making.

Brewing Comparison

In terms of brewing information, the Diletta Bello utilizes a lever activation and has a heat exchanger as its primary heating element with a heat-up time of 5-15 minutes. Its group type is E61, and it has a steam boiler capacity of 1.8 liters, alongside a 3-liter water reservoir. Meanwhile, the Turin Legato features press-button activation with a single boiler and thermoblock for heating, boasting a rapid heat-up time of less than 5 minutes. The Legato has a smaller 1.7-liter water reservoir and a brew boiler capacity of 0.5 liters, reflecting its design for quicker and simpler espresso preparation.

Features Comparison

When comparing features, the Diletta Bello offers several advanced capabilities, including pre-infusion, a steam wand, and gauges for both boiler and steam pressure. Additionally, it has an auto shutoff feature and a solenoid valve for enhanced safety and operation. On the other hand, the Turin Legato lacks an auto shutoff but includes PID control for temperature stability and a shot timer for precise brewing. Both machines support hot water dispensing and feature steam wands, but the Turin model does not have concurrent brew and steam capabilities, distinguishing the two in their operational flexibility.
