The Turin Gallatin DB is the dual-boiler model in the Gallatin family. Separate one-liter brew and steam boilers let you set the two jobs independently, while the E61 group, rotary pump and included flow-control paddle retain a hands-on espresso routine. It is a good fit for someone who wants temperature flexibility and milk-drink capability in a traditional machine.
The brew boiler supplies extraction water and the steam boiler handles steam and hot water. Each has its own PID control, so changing a brew setting does not require changing the steam boiler’s target. This is a different heating arrangement from the Gallatin V and R heat exchangers. You still need to allow the group and portafilter to warm fully; ready water and fully warmed metal are not the same thing.
The Italian Fluid-o-Tech rotary pump supports a reservoir-based setup or a direct-water installation. The removable reservoir holds approximately 1.7 liters. If you plan to plumb the machine, account for suitable water treatment, connection access and drainage before placing it. Direct supply removes the need to refill a tank by hand, but does not remove the need to monitor water quality and service the machine.
The included E61 paddle changes water delivery during extraction. It allows you to explore a slower initial wetting stage or adjust the later part of a shot. Begin with a repeatable recipe and make one change at a time. A paddle does not correct uneven puck preparation, and a pressure reading depends partly on the resistance of the coffee bed.
The separate steam boiler keeps steam heating distinct from brew-water control. Use the steam wand with a pitcher sized for your drink, then purge and wipe it promptly. When serving several drinks, keep an orderly routine for grinding, brewing and steaming rather than assuming a home machine has unlimited commercial throughput.
The body is approximately 11.26 inches wide and 17.44 inches deep, with a listed height of 15.55 inches. Leave additional room for the portafilter handle, cups, reservoir access and the brew lever. The 53.5-pound weight calls for a stable counter. Keep the manual available for startup, water-supply configuration and maintenance instructions.

Gallatin R is the rotary-pump heat-exchanger alternative. Legato V2 offers a smaller brew-boiler and steam-thermoblock setup.
The DB has separate brew and steam boilers. The R uses a single heat-exchanger boiler; both configurations offer a rotary pump and flow control.
Yes. Use the removable reservoir if you are not installing a direct supply.
You operate the brew lever and can adjust the flow paddle. A capable grinder, scale and consistent puck preparation remain part of the process.

I am thrilled with my Gallatin Dual Boiler. The quality of the build is solid. The machine is heavy and well built. The fit and finish of all the surfaces is very nice. Effort has been made to minimize the amount of sharp edges. The selling points for the machine are numerous and allow it to punch far above its weight class. The rotary pump is as quiet as you would expect. All the wood touchpoints provide a warmth to the design that is appreciated. This machine is everything I had hoped it would be, and my hopes were high. Turin has hit it out of the park with the Gallatin Dual Boiler.

After 3 years of daily 1st Gen DF83 use… A user abuse left me in need of a replacement espresso grinder.
The DF83v was ultimately what I committed to purchasing.
Every step of my daily coffee is improved.
I can't tell you how much this grinder is incredible! It is so much quieter than the previous grinders that I have had. The weight of it feels so sturdy, it's going nowhere. All and all, this is a high quality top of the line own grinders that anybody can invest in!
Thank you for the great grinder! The DF54 arrived in perfect condition and plugged right into our 220V setup with no issues. The grind is very uniform, there's almost no static, and for a single-dose espresso grinder at this price, it's an absolute gem. Special thanks to the seller for fast shipping and secure packaging!
Absolutely the best support, before and after the sale! Whether it’s answering questions to help decide a purchase or address concerns once in use in your home, they are quick to respond, eager to assist, professional and friendly. Joe and his crew are the very best!
I'm really happy with my grinder it works so nice it looks great on my coffee bar.
This is the nicest grinder I ever bought looks like and feels like a life time piece.

Occasional clogging issues, other than that it is great!!!
