The Lucca DF64 is priced at $580 and caters to intermediate skill levels, while the Turin DF54 is a more affordable option at $229, aimed at beginner users. Both grinders are classified as semi-automatic and serve espresso enthusiasts looking to enhance their brewing experience. The Lucca brand offers premium SSP burrs, whereas the Turin grinder is positioned as an entry-level solution, making it accessible for novice baristas.

Brewing Comparison

Both grinders employ a flat burr grinding method with different burr diameters: the Lucca DF64 has a 64mm burr size made of stainless steel, while the Turin DF54 features a slightly smaller 54mm custom stainless steel burr. Each grinder incorporates a stepless adjustment system, allowing for precise grind size adjustments measured in 1 micron increments. Both models utilize a single-dose hopper type for enhanced freshness, with the DF64 employing a metal dosing cup and funnel, while the DF54 includes a plastic dosing cup for practicality.

Features Comparison

In terms of features, the Lucca DF64 does not have an adjustable RPM, while the Turin DF54 also lacks this feature. However, both grinders provide a grind range suitable for both pour-over and espresso. Notably, the Lucca DF64 supports swappable burrs, offering customization options that the Turin DF54 does not have, catering to users who might want to experiment with different burr types for varied grinding profiles.
