Machine Overview

The Turin DF54 and Niche Duo are both semi-automatic espresso grinders targeted at different skill levels and price points. The DF54 is priced at approximately $229 and is designed for beginners, whereas the Niche Duo is significantly more expensive at around $700 and targets advanced users. This price difference reflects not only the features but also the intended user experience.

Brewing Comparison

Both grinders utilize flat burrs for grinding, but they differ in diameter and material. The DF54 employs 54mm custom stainless steel burrs with a single-dose hopper, while the Niche Duo boasts larger 83mm hardened steel burrs and also features a single-dose hopper. Both grinders utilize stepless adjustment with a fine-tuning capability of 1 micron, providing precise control over grind consistency; however, the Niche Duo has a slightly higher grinding speed of 17 seconds for 18g of coffee compared to the DF54's 12 seconds.

Features Comparison

Key features of these grinders also vary. The DF54 does not support adjustable RPM, whereas the Niche Duo operates at a fixed RPM of 530. Both grinders allow for a full range of grind sizes for their specific use: the DF54 covers a full spectrum from pour-over to espresso, while the Niche Duo is tailored specifically for espresso grinding. Furthermore, the Niche Duo offers swappable burrs, a feature not present in the DF54, enabling users to customize their grinder setup.
