EspressoBot Comparison

Machine Overview

The Turin DF64 Gen 2 is priced at $399 and is targeted towards intermediate skill level users, making it an accessible choice for those looking to elevate their espresso experience. In contrast, the Timemore Sculptor 078s has a higher price point of $699, also appealing to intermediate users but positioned as a more premium option in the market. Both of these grinders fall within the semi-automatic category, making them suitable for users who want more control over their grinding process.

Brewing Comparison

In terms of grinding information, both grinders utilize flat burrs, but the DF64 Gen 2 comes with a 64 mm stainless steel burr, while the Sculptor 078s features a larger 78 mm hardened steel burr. Both grinders allow for stepless adjustment with a scale of 1 micron, offering precision in grind size from pour-over to espresso. The DF64 Gen 2 utilizes a single dose hopper, ideal for minimizing waste, while the Sculptor 078s also has a single dose hopper but incorporates features like a built-in auger and rotary knocker for enhanced grinding efficiency. The primary dosing methods for both grinders consist of an On/Off button, making operation straightforward.

Features Comparison

Regarding key features, the DF64 Gen 2 does not have adjustable RPMs, whereas the Sculptor 078s features an adjustable RPM range between 800 and 1400, offering flexibility based on user preferences. Both grinders have a grinding range suitable for various brew methods, from pour-over to espresso. However, the DF64 Gen 2 allows for swappable burrs, providing users the option to customize their grinding experience, while the Sculptor 078s lacks this feature, potentially limiting adaptability in future upgrades.
