EspressoBot Comparison

Machine Overview

The Lelit Bianca V3 is a high-end espresso machine priced at $3199.95, making it suitable for advanced users who have experience in espresso making. In contrast, the Turin Legato is designed for beginners, available at a much lower price of $499. Both machines fall under the semi-automatic type, but their target markets differ significantly based on skill level and budget.

Brewing Comparison

Regarding brewing information, the Lelit Bianca V3 features a lever activation system with a dual boiler setup, offering a brew boiler capacity of 0.8 liters and a steam boiler capacity of 1.5 liters. Its heat-up time ranges from 15 to 30 minutes, using a dual heating element and E61 group type. In contrast, the Turin Legato uses a press button activation with a single boiler that has a brew boiler capacity of 0.5 liters and no steam boiler capacity. The heat-up time for the Legato is notably quicker, taking less than 5 minutes, leveraging a thermoblock secondary heating element.

Features Comparison

In terms of features, the Lelit Bianca V3 is packed with options such as PID degree control, pre-infusion, shot timer, and more, including gauges for boiler and steam pressure. It also supports concurrent brewing and steaming and has a no-burn steam wand, enhancing user safety and convenience. On the other hand, the Turin Legato offers basic features like PID control and pre-infusion but lacks some advanced functionalities, such as concurrent brew and steam, and automatic shutoff. While both machines provide the essentials for espresso making, the Lelit Bianca V3 significantly outweighs the Turin Legato in advanced capabilities.
