EspressoBot Comparison

Machine Overview

Grinder 1, the Rancilio Rocky SD, is priced at $440 and is marketed towards beginners entering the espresso-making journey. In contrast, Grinder 2, the Turin DF64V, comes at a higher price of $899, targeting intermediate users with more experience. Both models are categorized as Semi-Automatic grinders, but they cater to different levels of skill, suggesting that the Rocky SD is more suitable for those just starting out while the DF64V is designed for those looking to elevate their espresso preparations.

Brewing Comparison

In terms of grinding information, both grinders utilize flat burrs, but differ significantly in their burr size, with the Rancilio featuring 50mm steel burrs and the Turin equipped with larger 64mm diamond-like-coated burrs. The adjustment mechanism of the Rancilio is stepped, allowing for set grind size increments, whereas the Turin employs a stepless adjustment, providing precise control over grind size with increments as fine as 1 micron. The Rancilio uses a hopper for manual dosing, while the Turin opts for a single-dose hopper allowing for a more controlled dose with less retention, bolstering potential freshness in each grind.

Features Comparison

Key features highlight additional distinctions with the grinders; the Turin DF64V has adjustable RPM capabilities, ranging from 600 to 1800, enhancing the versatility in grinding speed to suit various brew methods, while the Rancilio has a fixed RPM at 1350. The grind range of the Rancilio is specifically tailored for espresso, while the Turin offers a broader range that caters from pour-over to espresso. Additionally, the Turin permits swappable burrs, which can be advantageous for users wishing to modify the grinder's performance, unlike the Rancilio, which does not support this feature.
