EspressoBot Comparison

Machine Overview

Grinder 1, the Turin DF54, is priced at $229 and is designed for beginners, making it an accessible option for those new to espresso grinding. In contrast, Grinder 2, the Baratza Sette 270, is set at a higher price of $399 and targets an intermediate skill level, catering to users with more experience in espresso preparation. Both grinders belong to the semi-automatic category, designed for home baristas looking to enhance their brewing experience.

Brewing Comparison

In terms of grinding information, the Turin DF54 features a flat burr design with a diameter of 54mm, offering a stepless adjustment for precise grind size changes, while its dosing method is primarily controlled by an on/off button with a single-dose hopper. The Baratza Sette 270, on the other hand, employs a conical burr with a 40mm diameter and allows for both stepped and stepless adjustments, providing flexibility for achieving various grind sizes, specifically optimized for espresso. Additionally, the Sette 270 comes with a hopper-type dosing method, using time-based dosing as the primary method and manual on/off as the secondary, allowing for controlled dosing based on user needs.

Features Comparison

When evaluating key features, the Turin DF54 does not include adjustable RPM, but it offers a full grind range from pour over to espresso, and it has a low retention of less than 0.1g. Conversely, the Baratza Sette 270 boasts a maximum RPM of 1100, supporting faster grinding specifically for espresso, and features swappable burrs, allowing users to customize their grinding experience as needed. While the DF54 is geared towards a more extensive grind range, the Sette 270 focuses on espresso-specific functionalities that may appeal to more advanced users.
