EspressoBot Comparison

Machine Overview

The Rancilio Rocky Black grinder is priced at $440 and is targeted towards beginner users, whereas the Turin DF64V, priced at $899, caters to intermediate skill level users. Both grinders belong to the semi-automatic category and are designed for home use. Their price points reflect the features and skill levels they accommodate, making the Rocky a more budget-friendly option for novice enthusiasts.

Brewing Comparison

In terms of grinding information, both grinders utilize flat burrs; however, the Rancilio Rocky has a 50mm steel burr and offers stepped adjustments with a grind range focused primarily on espresso, while the Turin DF64V boasts a larger 64mm diamond-like-coated burr and features stepless adjustment, providing greater precision from pour-over to espresso. The Rocky utilizes a hopper for loading beans and features a lever dispenser method for dosing, whereas the DF64V is designed as a single-dose grinder with an on/off button for more control over portions. This difference allows the DF64V to minimize coffee retention, with less than 0.2g left in the grinder compared to 1-1.5g in the Rocky.

Features Comparison

Looking at the key features, the Turin DF64V offers adjustable RPM (600 to 1800), allowing for fine-tuning grind speed, while the Rancilio Rocky maintains a fixed RPM of 1350. The DF64V's grind range expands beyond espresso, accommodating various brewing methods, in contrast to the Rocky's espresso-focused range. Additionally, the DF64V allows for swappable burrs, enhancing versatility and potential for upgrades, which is not an option available in the Rancilio Rocky.
