EspressoBot Comparison

Machine Overview

Grinder 1, the Turin DF54, is priced at $229 and is categorized as a beginner-friendly semi-automatic grinder. In contrast, Grinder 2, the Rancilio Rocky, has a higher MSRP of $440 and also targets beginners but at a steeply elevated price point. Both grinders are designed for home baristas, making them suitable for entry-level users.

Brewing Comparison

In terms of grinding information, the DF54 utilizes a 54mm flat burr crafted from custom stainless steel and offers stepless adjustment, optimizing its grinding range from pour-over to espresso. On the other hand, the Rancilio Rocky features a 50mm flat burr of steel with a stepped adjustment system, focusing primarily on espresso grinding. The DF54 employs a single-dose hopper mechanism paired with an on/off button for dosing, while the Rocky uses a traditional hopper with a lever dispenser for controlled portions. These features enhance the precision and ease of grinding for both models but cater to slightly different user preferences.

Features Comparison

When comparing key features, the Turin DF54 has no adjustable RPM and supports a full grind range, while the Rancilio Rocky operates at a set RPM of 1350 and is limited mostly to espresso grinding. Additionally, the DF54 does not have swappable burrs, whereas the Rancilio Rocky also lacks this feature, indicating both grinders are not intended for extensive customization in burr types. Overall, the DF54 offers a versatile approach to grinding, while the Rancilio Rocky focuses solely on espresso efficiency.
