Machine Overview

The Turin DF64E is priced at $599 and is considered suitable for intermediate users, while the Turin SD40 V2 is more affordable at $369 and designed for beginners. Both brands are manufactured by Turin and cater to the semi-automatic grinder category. The price difference may reflect the complexity and features tailored to different skill levels of users.

Brewing Comparison

In terms of grinding information, the DF64E uses a flat burr grinding method with a 64 mm titanium burr, allowing for precise stepless adjustments in grinding size at a scale of 1 micron. In contrast, the SD40 V2 employs a conical burr method with a smaller 40 mm steel burr, offering stepped adjustments at a 10-micron scale. Both grinders utilize a single dose hopper setup, but the DF64E features timed dosing while the SD40 V2 relies on an on/off toggle for dosing control, which may appeal more to novice users finding simplicity in operation.

Features Comparison

Regarding key features, the DF64E stands out with its stepless adjustment capability, offering a grinding range strictly for espresso, whereas the SD40 V2 covers a broader grinding range from pour-over to espresso with stepped adjustments. The DF64E allows swappable burrs for versatility, enhancing the user’s ability to customize their grind, which the SD40 V2 does not provide. Lastly, neither grinder features adjustable RPM, with the DF64E operating at a consistent 1400 RPM and the SD40 V2 at 400 RPM, reflecting a choice in grinding speed that may affect the coffee's flavor extraction.
