EspressoBot Comparison

Machine Overview

Grinder 1, the Turin DF54, is priced at $229 and is ideal for beginners. In contrast, Grinder 2, the Turin SD40 V2, has a higher price point of $369 but is also targeted towards the beginner skill level. Both grinders are semi-automatic, showcasing the Turin brand's commitment to providing accessible options for new baristas.

Brewing Comparison

In terms of grinding information, the DF54 utilizes flat burrs with a diameter of 54mm and features a stepless adjustment, allowing for precise control of grind size. Conversely, the SD40 V2 employs conical burrs with a smaller 40mm diameter and has a stepped adjustment, offering a simpler but less customizable grinding process. Both grinders feature a single-dose hopper type, promoting fresh grinding with minimal retention, with DF54 retaining less than 0.1g and the SD40 V2 retaining less than 0.2g. The DF54 uses an On/Off Button for primary dosing, while the SD40 V2 utilizes an On/Off Toggle.

Features Comparison

When looking at key features, the DF54 does not include adjustable RPM, but it has a full grind range from pour-over to espresso. Similarly, the SD40 V2 maintains the same grind range while also lacking adjustable RPM. Neither model supports swappable burrs, curtailing future customization of flavor profiles. Ultimately, both grinders serve as capable, entry-level options, each with its own unique characteristics.
