EspressoBot Comparison

Machine Overview

Grinder 1, the Fellow Opus, is priced at $195 and targets beginner users, making it an accessible option for those new to espresso grinding. Conversely, Grinder 2, the Turin DF54, has a slightly higher MSRP of $229 but also caters to beginners, suggesting a common goal of entry-level usability across both brands.

Brewing Comparison

The Fellow Opus utilizes 40mm conical burrs made of stainless steel with a stepped adjustment mechanism. It features a single-dose hopper and employs a timed auto stop dosing method, allowing for precise measurement. In contrast, the Turin DF54 boasts larger 54mm flat burrs with stepless adjustment, which can offer more granular control over grind size. It also features a single-dose hopper but relies on an on/off button for dosing, adding a simpler operational approach.

Features Comparison

In terms of key features, the Fellow Opus offers a grind range from pour-over to espresso and allows for swappable burrs, enhancing versatility. However, the Turin DF54 also presents a full grind range but lacks swappable burrs, consolidating its design more tightly around its built-in capabilities. Neither grinder supports adjustable RPM, with both fixed mechanisms; however, the Fellow Opus has a grind speed of 20 seconds for an 18g dose, while the Turin DF54 is faster at just 12 seconds.
