Turin Legato V2

A hybrid dual-heat design with dual PID controllers, adjustable OPV, and flow control, features a specification sheet that would look at home on machines costing twice as much. The trade-offs are real: a 15–20 minute heat-soak requirement, a newer and smaller support community than Gaggia's, and no long-term durability track record yet.
