EspressoBot Comparison

Machine Overview

The Turin DF64 Gen 2 is priced at $399 and is designed for the intermediate skill level, making it suitable for users who have some experience with espresso grinding. In contrast, the Rancilio Rocky, which retails for $440, targets beginner users looking to dive into espresso preparation. Both grinders are semi-automatic, allowing for some control in the grinding process, but they cater to different user expertise levels.

Brewing Comparison

In terms of grinding information, both grinders utilize flat burrs, however, the DF64 Gen 2 features a larger burr diameter of 64mm compared to the Rocky's 50mm. The DF64 employs a stepless adjustment mechanism allowing for finer precision, while the Rocky uses a stepped adjustment scale which provides predefined grind settings. The DF64 also utilizes a single-dose hopper, which minimizes retention to less than 0.25g, as opposed to the Rancilio's hopper that retains between 1 - 1.5g due to its lever dispenser method. This difference in dosing method can impact the freshness of the coffee ground for each use.

Features Comparison

Regarding key features, the DF64 Gen 2 does not have adjustable RPM but boasts a full grind range from pour over to espresso, with the ability to swap burrs for different grind types. On the other hand, the Rancilio Rocky has a fixed RPM of 1350 and is limited to espresso grind range with no capability for swappable burrs. While the Rocky's simpler design suits beginners, the DF64's versatility and precision adjustments cater to a more experienced user looking to refine their espresso-making skills.
