Machine Overview

The 1Zpresso J-Max S is priced at $159 and is designed for intermediate skill levels, while the Lucca DF64 is significantly more expensive at $580, also aimed at intermediate users. Both brands cater to espresso enthusiasts, but their target pricing and positioning differ considerably as the J-Max S is a manual grinder and the DF64 is a semi-automatic option.

Brewing Comparison

In terms of grinding information, the J-Max S utilizes a conical burr with a 48mm diameter and features a stepped adjustment system. It operates with a single dose hopper and manual dosing method, while the Lucca DF64 uses a flat burr of 64mm diameter and offers a stepless adjustment mechanism. The DF64 also employs an on/off button for dosing and comes with a single dose hopper, which allows for better control over the grind amount, providing advantages in consistency and precision.

Features Comparison

When considering features, the Lucca DF64 has an adjustable RPM of 800, enhancing its grinding capabilities across a broader range from pour-over to espresso, while the 1Zpresso J-Max S does not specify adjustable RPMs but focuses on a specific grind range suited for espresso. Both grinders feature swappable burrs that allow users to customize their grinding experience, and the retention rates are notably low for both, with J-Max S at <1g and DF64 at <.2g, ensuring minimal waste.
