EspressoBot Comparison

Machine Overview

The Fellow Opus grinder is priced at $195 and is geared towards beginners, offering a user-friendly semi-automatic experience. In contrast, the Turin SD40 V2 has a higher price point of $369, also targeting beginner users but potentially offering more premium features. Both brands, Fellow and Turin, cater to new espresso enthusiasts, making them accessible options for those who are just starting their espresso journey.

Brewing Comparison

When comparing the grinding information, both grinders use conical burrs with a diameter of 40 mm; however, the Fellow Opus is equipped with stainless steel C6-40 Burly Burrs while the Turin SD40 V2 employs standard steel burrs. Both grinders have a stepped adjustment mechanism, providing specific grind size options, but the Fellow offers a finer adjustment scale of 5 microns compared to the Turin’s 10 micron scale. Each grinder features a single-dose hopper, promoting freshness and reducing waste, but they differ in their primary dosing methods, with the Fellow utilizing a timed auto-stop and the Turin relying on an on/off toggle.

Features Comparison

In terms of features, neither grinder offers adjustable RPM, as both operate at fixed speeds of 350 RPM for the Fellow and 400 RPM for the Turin. Both grinders excel in their grinding range capability, covering everything from pour over to espresso, thus providing versatility. However, the Fellow Opus stands out with its swappable burrs, allowing users to upgrade or replace the burrs, whereas the Turin SD40 V2 does not have this feature.
