Turin legato vs Breville Bambino

[@machinemademan]

Just picked up a pristine brand new bambino in a damaged box for 130$ and ordered all of the upgraded parts. im so excited to try something other than my gourmia. it does fine for the $50 i paid for it on black friday but it uses a milk cartridge that is a pita and the basket is all pitted and corroded already. whats the biggest dif going from pressurized to single wall? i ordered a precision basket and a decent steel hand grinder since i only have a cuisinart electric

[@JoeyVaracalli]

You’re going to need a new grinder if you’re using the non pressurized filter basket

[@nrafaco]

I want to add a VST basket to my legato. . I have a naked porta filter. Should I use ridged o ridgeless ? 58mm or E61:?

[@JoeyVaracalli]

I’d go riddles

[@JoeyVaracalli]

Ridgless

But wait, I thought the Legato was the "Gaggia Killer". So, why not compare it to that? This is the basic Breville and is an appliance, while the Legato (with some major issues) is made more like a machine. Thumb on the scale? Also, a 30 minute video? Have you heard of editing?

[@JoeyVaracalli]

It was a live stream you can’t edit those? Also I do things like this all the time it’s fun for people to see machines from all manufacturers expensive to cheap next to each other to truly see what you’re getting. I would do the gaggia but I sold mine awhile back. I don’t have the space to keep 20 espresso machines in my house all the time

Would you elaborate on the major issues with the Legato?
