Machine Overview

The Turin DF64 Gen 1 grinder is positioned at a higher price point of $350, targeting intermediate skill levels, while the 58espresso SPTK-38G is more accessible at $259 and caters to beginners. Both models are semi-automatic types and focus on producing high-quality espresso. The DF64's advanced features may benefit users with more experience in espresso brewing. In contrast, the SPTK-38G's affordability and user-friendly design make it suitable for those new to the craft.

Brewing Comparison

In terms of grinding information, the DF64 utilizes a 64 mm flat burr made of stainless steel, with a stepless adjustment mechanism that allows precise grind size changes at 1-micron increments. It features a single-dose hopper and uses an on/off toggle for dosing, along with a 45-second auto-off secondary method. Meanwhile, the SPTK-38G is equipped with a smaller 38 mm conical burr made from nitrogen steel and employs a stepped adjustment system, which allows for 25-micron increments. It also offers a single-dose hopper and uses an on/off button for dosing, making it simple to operate without additional complexities.

Features Comparison

Key features to consider include that the DF64 has swappable burrs and operates within a grind range suitable for pour-over to espresso. While the SPTK-38G does not support swappable burrs, it still offers a versatile grind range for various brewing methods. Additionally, the DF64 is limited in terms of adjustable RPM, whereas the SPTK-38G has a fixed speed of 300 RPM. This variability in features reflects their respective target audiences, with the DF64 catering to users who demand more customization options.
