EspressoBot Comparison

Machine Overview

The Mazzer Super Jolly is priced at $1300 and designed for advanced users, emphasizing its high-quality craftsmanship and performance. In contrast, the Lucca DF64 is more accessible at $580, catering to an intermediate skill level. This pricing difference reflects the positioning of both grinders within the market, with Mazzer targeting professional or serious home baristas and Lucca appealing to those who are still developing their espresso-making skills.

Brewing Comparison

Both grinders utilize flat burrs, with the Mazzer featuring hardened high carbon steel burrs and the Lucca equipped with stainless steel SSP burrs, which are known for their premium quality. Both machines have a stepless adjustment, allowing for fine-tuning of grind size to meet specific brewing needs. The Mazzer uses a hopper type of dosing with programmable timed doses and a manual on/off method, while the Lucca features a single-dose hopper with an on/off button and a 45-second auto-off for convenience. The difference in hopper types offers the Mazzer greater capacity, while the Lucca focuses on freshness with single dosing.

Features Comparison

In terms of key features, the Mazzer has a grind range that accommodates everything from pour-over to espresso, with swappable burrs to change the grinding characteristics as needed. The Lucca DF64 also provides a full grind range from pour over to espresso and supports swappable burrs, facilitating an upgrade to different burr types. However, the Mazzer grinder operates at a higher RPM of 1400, compared to the Lucca's 800 RPM, which may influence the heat and extraction properties during grinding. In summary, both grinders excel in their own right, with each catering to different user preferences and needs in the espresso brewing process.
