EspressoBot Comparison

Machine Overview

The Bentwood Vertical 63 is positioned as an advanced espresso grinder with a significantly higher MSRP of $2,695, while the Breville Smart Grinder Pro is aimed at beginners, priced at $199. The contrast in skill level indicates that the Bentwood model caters to experienced users who may require more precision and customization in their grind, whereas the Breville is more suited for casual or novice coffee enthusiasts looking for ease of use at an affordable price.

Brewing Comparison

In terms of grinding information, the Bentwood Vertical 63 utilizes a flat burr with a diameter of 63 mm, allowing for a stepless adjustment scale of 1 micron, which provides fine-tuning for different brewing methods. Conversely, the Breville Smart Grinder Pro features a conical burr of 40 mm with a stepped adjustment scale of 10+ microns, which may limit the precision of grind adjustments compared to the Bentwood. Both grinders have a hopper type; however, the Bentwood employs a primary dosing method that is timed, resulting in less retention of grounds at less than 0.1 g, while the Breville offers a timed auto stop combined with manual on/off dosing, resulting in a higher retention rate of 2-3 g.

Features Comparison

Regarding key features, the Bentwood grinder does not have an adjustable RPM option, while the Breville Smart Grinder Pro operates at 450 RPM, making it moderately faster. Both grinders have a similar grind range capable of producing grinds suitable for espresso and pour-over methods. However, the Bentwood model lacks swappable burrs, whereas the Breville features swappable burrs, offering users the ability to change burrs according to their preferences or potential wear.
