Machine Overview

The Turin DF64E is priced at $599 and is categorized as a semi-automatic grinder suitable for intermediate users. In comparison, the Timemore Sculptor 078s has a higher MSRP of $699, also aimed at intermediate skill levels. While both grinders serve a similar demographic, the price difference may influence a buyer's choice.

Brewing Comparison

Regarding grinding information, the Turin DF64E utilizes 64mm titanium flat burrs with a stepless adjustment capable of 1-micron precision, designed specifically for espresso. In contrast, the Timemore Sculptor 078s features larger 78mm hardened steel flat burrs and also offers stepless adjustment, but has a grind range that accommodates both espresso and pour-over methods. Both models employ a single dose hopper; the DF64E uses a plastic dosing cup while the Sculptor includes a magnetic aluminum catch cup. The dosing methods differ with the DF64E employing timed dosing and manual press options, whereas the Sculptor uses an on/off button for dosing.

Features Comparison

In terms of key features, the Turin DF64E does not have adjustable RPM while maintaining a consistent speed of 1400 RPM. Conversely, the Timemore Sculptor 078s allows for adjustable RPM ranging from 800 to 1400, providing versatility for different grind preferences. The DF64E's burrs are swappable, allowing users to customize their grinding experience, while the Sculptor features fixed burrs without the option to swap. Both grinders boast exceptional retention rates, though the Sculptor has a slight edge with retention under 0.1g compared to the DF64E’s retention of less than 0.2g.
