Machine Overview

The Timemore Sculptor 078s is priced at $699 and is designed for intermediate skill levels, making it accessible for enthusiasts looking to elevate their coffee-making experience. In contrast, the Weber Workshops Key is significantly more expensive at $1999 and is tailored for advanced users, catering to those with more experience and a deeper understanding of espresso preparation.

Brewing Comparison

In terms of grinding information, the Timemore Sculptor 078s features flat burrs with a diameter of 78mm, allowing for a stepless adjustment to achieve a precise grind from pour-over to espresso. On the other hand, the Weber Key utilizes an 83mm conical burr which has a stepped adjustment and covers a grind range suitable for everything from pour-over to Turkish coffee. Both grinders utilize a single-dose hopper type, which reduces retention to less than 0.1g and ensures freshness with each dose.

Features Comparison

Regarding key features, both grinders offer adjustable RPM, but the Timemore operates at a much higher range (800 to 1400 RPM) compared to the Weber (30 to 300 RPM). The grind range for the Timemore extends from pour-over to espresso, while the Weber covers a broader spectrum, including Turkish coffee. Additionally, the Weber Key supports swappable burrs, providing versatility for users who may want to customize their grinding experience, a feature not available in the Timemore Sculptor 078s.
