The Turin Gallatin V HX is a heat-exchange home espresso machine built for people stepping up from entry-level gear. A 2-liter HX boiler lets you brew and steam at the same time, and the PID controller holds brew temperature steady. The E61 thermosiphon grouphead and 58 mm commercial portafilter put it in the same class as machines like the Profitec Pro 500 and Rocket Appartamento, but it adds programmable pre-infusion, a shot timer and joystick steam controls. Owners rate it well overall, though some find the vibratory pump loud and the learning curve real.

The Turin Gallatin V HX is a home espresso machine with a 2-liter heat-exchange boiler, so it can brew and steam at the same time. It has an E61 thermosyphon-heated grouphead and a commercial 58 mm portafilter. The body is white with a stainless group and accents.
PID temperature control lets you adjust the boiler temperature. Pre-infusion is programmable, and an integrated shot timer shows brew time. Steam and hot water are controlled by joysticks, and the steam wand has a 3-hole tip for texturing milk. An eco mode reduces energy use when the machine is idle.
The machine has a vibratory pump. It can run from the water tank or from a direct water connection through a manual water source valve. The joysticks, portafilter and tamper have walnut accents.
