EspressoBot Comparison

Machine Overview

The Bentwood Vertical 63 is priced at $2,695 and is classified as a semi-automatic espresso grinder catering to advanced users. In contrast, the Weber Workshops EG-1 is priced higher at $4,095, also aimed at the advanced skill level group. Both brands offer high-end grinders suitable for experienced baristas or serious coffee enthusiasts. The significant price difference suggests differing features and design philosophies.

Brewing Comparison

In terms of grinding methodology, both grinders employ flat burrs; however, the Bentwood has a burr diameter of 63mm made from Bentwood Special Steel, while the Weber features a larger 80mm burr with CORE Magnetically Mounted technology. The Bentwood's adjustment is stepless with precise 1 micron adjustments, providing users with finely tuned grind settings. On the other hand, the Weber utilizes a stepped adjustment with increments of 5 microns, allowing for more straightforward, repeatable settings. The Bentwood uses a hopper type for dosing, whereas the Weber opts for a single dose hopper, which can minimize waste and ensure freshness.

Features Comparison

Key features show notable differences: the Weber EG-1 has adjustable RPM ranging from 500 to 1500, allowing for versatility in grind speed, while the Bentwood operates at a fixed 1400 RPM without adjustment. Both grinders boast a grinding range that supports everything from pour-over to espresso. Notably, the Weber has swappable burrs, providing users the opportunity to customize their grinding experience, while the Bentwood does not feature this ability. Both grinders maintain minimal retention below 0.1 grams, ensuring that the coffee grounds remain fresh and flavorful.
