EspressoBot Comparison

Machine Overview

The Turin DF54 and Lucca DF64 are both semi-automatic espresso grinders aimed at different skill levels and price points. The DF54 is priced at approximately $229 and targets beginner baristas, while the DF64 is significantly more expensive at around $580, catering to intermediate users. This price differential reflects the capabilities offered, positioning each grinder for distinct consumer segments.

Brewing Comparison

In terms of grinding information, both grinders utilize flat burrs for grinding, with the DF54 featuring 54mm custom stainless steel burrs and the DF64 equipped with larger 64mm stainless steel SSP burrs. Both models utilize a stepless adjustment for grind size, allowing for precise tuning within a full range from pour-over to espresso. They each employ a single-dose hopper for dosing, which minimizes waste and ensures freshness, although the DF64 offers a secondary 45-second auto-off feature for added convenience.

Features Comparison

Key features of the grinders show both similarities and differences; for instance, neither has adjustable RPM capabilities. However, they both provide a versatile grind range suitable for various brewing methods. The Lucca DF64 stands out with its swappable burrs, allowing users to easily change burr types, while the Turin DF54 remains fixed with its less customizable setup. Each grinder, therefore, offers distinct features tailored to the needs of its target barista audience.
