Machine Overview

The Turin DF64 Gen 2 is priced at $399, making it a more budget-friendly option compared to the Niche Zero, which retails for $580. Both grinders are positioned as semi-automatic machines and are designed for intermediate skill levels, catering to users who have some experience with espresso grinding.

Brewing Comparison

In terms of grinding information, the DF64 Gen 2 utilizes flat burrs with a 64 mm diameter made of stainless steel, while the Niche Zero features conical burrs with a 63 mm diameter crafted from hardened steel. Both grinders have a stepless adjustment for grind size, allowing for highly precise changes, and employ a single dose hopper to minimize retention, although the retention for the DF64 is slightly higher at <0.25 g compared to the Niche Zero's <0.1 g. The dosing methods vary as well; the DF64 uses an on/off button and includes a 45-second auto-off feature, while the Niche Zero operates with a toggle switch without a secondary dosing method.

Features Comparison

When considering key features, the DF64 Gen 2 does not support adjustable RPM, while the Niche Zero runs at 330 RPM. Both grinders have a full grind range suitable for various brewing methods from pour-over to espresso, emphasizing their versatility. The DF64 offers swappable burrs for customization and potential upgrades, whereas the Niche Zero does not feature this option, focusing instead on its fixed Mazzer burrs.
