EspressoBot Comparison

Machine Overview

Grinder 1, the Turin DF64 Gen 1, is priced at $350 and is targeted towards intermediate users, while Grinder 2, the Turin SD40 V2, has a slightly higher MSRP of $369 but is aimed at beginners. Both grinders are semi-automatic models, indicating that they require some user input for operation. The pricing reflects their intended skill levels, with Grinder 1 being more suited for those with a bit more experience in espresso preparation.

Brewing Comparison

In terms of grinding information, Grinder 1 features a 64mm flat burr made of stainless steel and employs a stepless adjustment mechanism, allowing for precise control over grind settings, adjustable down to 1 micron. Conversely, Grinder 2 uses a 40mm conical burr made of steel with a stepped adjustment system for ease of use, which may not allow for as fine granularity but simplifies the selection of grind size. Both grinders utilize a single-dose hopper, aiding in minimizing waste, and they employ an on/off toggle for primary dosing, which is beneficial for controlling the grind quantity effectively. Notably, Grinder 1 offers a retention rate of less than 0.25 grams, and Grinder 2 boasts an even lower retention of less than 0.2 grams.

Features Comparison

Focusing on features, Grinder 1 does not have adjustable RPM, maintaining a constant speed of 800 RPM for effective grinding, while Grinder 2 operates at a lower 400 RPM without adjustment options. Both grinders have a grind range that extends from pour-over to espresso, catering to various brewing methods. However, Grinder 1 offers swappable burrs, allowing users to change burr types, which can enhance grinding versatility, while Grinder 2 does not have this feature, indicating a more fixed design for beginners.
