Machine Overview

The Timemore Sculptor 078s is priced at $699, targeting intermediate skill-level users seeking quality without breaking the bank. In contrast, the Mx. Cool Aries is positioned in the higher price range at $1400, catering to advanced users who require a premium grinding experience. Both models belong to the semi-automatic category, appealing to espresso enthusiasts at varying levels of expertise.

Brewing Comparison

When it comes to grinding information, the Sculptor 078s uses a flat burr with a diameter of 78mm, while the Aries features a conical burr that is slightly larger at 83mm. Both grinders offer stepless adjustment with a precision of 1 micron, enabling fine-tuning for optimal espresso extraction. The Sculptor 078s has a single-dosing hopper type and uses an On/Off button for dosing, while the Aries utilizes a single-dose hopper with an On/Off toggle. The retention in the Timemore is impressively low at < 0.1g, while the Aries retains slightly more at < 0.2g.

Features Comparison

Key features further differentiate these grinders; the Timemore Sculptor 078s operates with adjustable RPM ranging from 800 to 1400, enhancing versatility. The Mx. Cool Aries has a lower RPM range of 90 to 150, indicating a different grinding approach. Both grinders have full grind ranges suitable for all brewing methods from pour-over to espresso, but only the Aries allows for swappable burrs, adding to its customization potential.
