EspressoBot Comparison

Machine Overview

The Mx. Cool Aries is positioned as an advanced grinder with a price tag of $1400, making it suitable for seasoned coffee enthusiasts. In contrast, the Timemore Sculptor 078s, which is designed for intermediate users, is priced at $699. This notable difference in cost reflects the different target demographics and expertise levels for each product. Both grinders fall under the semi-automatic category, indicating a blend of user control and automation.

Brewing Comparison

In terms of grinding information, the Aries utilizes a conical burr grinding method with a burr diameter of 83mm, while the Sculptor 078s employs a flat burr method with a slightly smaller diameter of 78mm. Both grinders feature stepless adjustment capabilities, allowing precise modifications in grind size. The Aries has a single dose hopper and dosing is facilitated by an on/off toggle method, whereas the Sculptor 078s utilizes a side press button for activation and also features a single-dose hopper. The retention levels are comparable, with the Aries at less than 0.2g and the Sculptor at less than 0.1g, which implies that both grinders minimize coffee waste effectively.

Features Comparison

When it comes to key features, both grinders offer adjustable RPM settings; the Aries ranges from 90 to 150 RPM, while the Sculptor operates between 800 to 1400 RPM. Their grind ranges are comprehensive, both accommodating full extraction from pour-over to espresso. However, the Mx. Cool Aries allows for swappable burrs, enhancing customization options for users, whereas the Timemore Sculptor 078s does not share this feature. This distinction could influence the users' decision based on their preference for personalization in grind quality.
