{"product_id":"turin-mc3-espresso-machine","title":"Turin MC3 PID Espresso Machine","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"turin-product-guide\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Turin MC3 pairs a traditional 58mm portafilter with a circular touchscreen for brew settings. Its heated copper group, brew-water heating system and separate 2.5-liter steam boiler give it a distinct place in the Turin range. It suits a home barista who wants adjustable pre-infusion and flow settings alongside a substantial milk-steaming system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThree heating elements with different roles\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA PTC heater warms the copper brew group, a brew-water heating system prepares water for extraction, and the 2.5-liter boiler supplies steam and hot water. PID control and NTC sensing manage the heating system. This is not the same layout as a conventional machine with separate brew and steam boilers, so compare the actual architecture rather than calling every separate-steam machine a dual boiler.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTouchscreen settings for the brew recipe\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe interface provides brew-temperature, pre-infusion time and flow settings, together with extraction-flow adjustment. Single and double volumetric programs support repeat recipes, and a manual mode gives another way to run the shot. A volumetric setting does not measure the weight of espresso in the cup; use a scale while dialing in and keep the dose and puck preparation consistent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSteam capacity and daily drink making\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe dedicated steam boiler supports simultaneous brewing and steaming. You can turn the steam system off when it is not needed. A larger steam boiler provides a different reserve from a small thermoblock, but real steaming performance still depends on warm-up, settings and the pace of drinks. Purge the wand, texture milk in a suitable pitcher, then wipe and purge again as directed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eReservoir or direct water supply\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe MC3 uses a 1.5-liter tank and also supports a direct-water connection. Choose the arrangement that suits your coffee bar, accounting for appropriate water quality and installation requirements. The included quick fittings help with connection, but do not replace site-specific plumbing planning. Keep access available for maintenance and do not treat direct supply as a reason to ignore water treatment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCounter space and electrical planning\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a substantial machine: approximately 14.17 inches wide, 17.72 inches deep and 18.5 inches high, weighing around 46.3 pounds. Leave room for cups, the portafilter handle and reservoir access. The listed electrical configuration is 120V and 1,600W. Check your available space and outlet arrangement before ordering, especially if you also plan a large grinder.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTurin MC3 PID Espresso Machine specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"overflow-x:auto;\"\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ccaption\u003eSpecifications and practical details\u003c\/caption\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eGroup\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePTC-heated copper group; 58mm portafilter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eBrew-water system\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDedicated brew-water heating with PID and NTC sensing\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eSteam\/hot-water boiler\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2.5L\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003ePump\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eULKA vibration pump\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eControls\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCircular touchscreen; pre-infusion and extraction-flow settings\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eDosing modes\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSingle\/double volumetric programs and manual operation\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eWater supply\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.5L tank or direct-water connection\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eElectrical\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e120V; 1,600W\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eDimensions\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApproximately 14.17 in W × 17.72 in D × 18.5 in H\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eWeight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApproximately 46.3 lb\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat is included\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMC3 machine, walnut-handled double-spout portafilter, single and double baskets, tamper, quick water fittings, backflushing powder and manual.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCompare your options\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/turin%E2%84%A2-legato%E2%84%A2-v2-espresso-machine\"\u003eLegato V2\u003c\/a\u003e is a more compact brew-boiler and steam-thermoblock option. \u003ca href=\"\/products\/turin%E2%84%A2-gallatin-db-dual-boiler-espresso-machine-with-pid\"\u003eGallatin DB\u003c\/a\u003e offers E61 operation, a rotary pump and separate brew and steam boilers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the MC3 a conventional dual-boiler machine?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. It combines a heated group, brew-water heating system and separate steam boiler. \u003ca href=\"\/products\/turin%E2%84%A2-gallatin-db-dual-boiler-espresso-machine-with-pid\"\u003eGallatin DB\u003c\/a\u003e is the Turin model with distinct brew and steam boilers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I turn off steam when only making espresso?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes.
