If you bought from Turin/Espresso Outlet, their open box DF64’s are cheaper and practically good as new. Just FYI if you don’t want to wait.

Accessories:
- 58mm bottomless portafilter
- spring loaded tamper 58.3mm or 58.5mm
- scale
- WDT tool
- knockbox for pucks
- milk steaming pitcher
- Cafiza for back flushing

You can get all of those items on Amazon.

I would also recommend one of those screens that go on after you tamp. I feel like I get less channeling and it also keeps the machine cleaner.

I got the grinder yesterday so I can finally try out the Legato. The bottomless portafilter arrives tomorrow so I’m using the one that came with the machine. I’ve tried three shots so far, the first two coming out incredibly sour. My third shot tasted okay after grinding finer each time. I’m measuring 19g of beans and from what I’ve gathered from YouTube and Reddit, I should be expecting roughly 38g of espresso. I didn’t measure the first time, but the last two attempts both yielded 30g of espresso at different grind settings, the last taking 25 seconds. I’m using the automatic button on the machine. What should I adjust to get a 1:2 ratio that I think I should be getting?
