Machine Overview

The Turin DF64 Gen 1 is priced at $350, targeting the intermediate skill level, while the Breville Smart Grinder Pro is priced at $199, catering to beginners. Both grinders fall under the semi-automatic category. The Turin grinder is recognized for its higher price point and is aimed more at users who have some experience with espresso preparation, in contrast to the Breville model, which is designed for those starting in the espresso-making process.

Brewing Comparison

In terms of grinding information, the Turin DF64 utilizes a flat burr with a 64mm diameter, providing stepless adjustment which allows for precise grind settings. It operates via a single-dose hopper, primarily using an On/Off toggle for dosing. On the other hand, the Breville Smart Grinder Pro uses a conical burr of 40mm diameter and has a stepped adjustment system, which means it offers preset grind settings, making it easier for beginners. This model uses a hopper for bulk capacity with a timed auto-stop feature for dosing, which simplifies the grinding process for less experienced users.

Features Comparison

Regarding key features, the Turin DF64's grind range spans from pour-over to espresso and it provides the flexibility of swappable burrs. It operates at a speed of 800 RPM with no adjustable RPM settings. Contrastingly, the Breville model, with a grind range similarly covering pour-over to espresso, operates at 450 RPM and also features swappable burr technology. However, it lacks adjustable RPM, making the Turin grinder more versatile for those who are looking for finer control over their grind settings.
