EspressoBot Comparison

Machine Overview

The Lucca DF64 is priced at $580 and is categorized as an intermediate skill level grinder, whereas the Timemore Sculptor 064S is available at a lower cost of $499 but also falls within the intermediate skill level. Both grinders are classified as semi-automatic, suggesting they provide a good balance of control and convenience for users who are familiar with espresso grinding. Their price points reflect different feature sets and brand positioning in the coffee grinder market.

Brewing Comparison

In terms of grinding information, both grinders utilize flat burrs with a diameter of 64mm, but differ in materials; the Lucca DF64 features stainless steel SSP burrs, while the Timemore Sculptor utilizes steel burrs. Both grinders offer stepless adjustment with an adjustment scale of 1 micron, allowing for precise grinding. Both models use a single-dosing hopper type, which minimizes retention; however, Lucca DF64 retains slightly more (<0.2 g) compared to the Timemore Sculptor (<0.1 g). The primary dosing method for both is via an on/off button, providing ease of use.

Features Comparison

Key features of the grinders reveal some differences; the Timemore Sculptor boasts adjustable RPM within a range of 800 to 1200, while the Lucca DF64 operates at a fixed speed of 800 RPM. Both grinders have a grind range sufficient for all methods, from pour-over to espresso. However, only the Lucca DF64 permits swappable burrs—an advantage for those looking to customize their grinding experience, whereas the Timemore Sculptor does not allow for this modification.
