EspressoBot Comparison

Machine Overview

The Turin DF64E grinder is priced at $599 and is designed for intermediate users, while the Weber HG-2 is more premium at $1495, targeting advanced users. Both brands, Turin and Weber Workshops, are known for producing high-quality espresso grinders. The price difference reflects the target skill levels and features designed for more experienced baristas with the Weber HG-2.

Brewing Comparison

In terms of grinding information, the Turin DF64E utilizes a 64mm flat titanium burr for espresso with stepless adjustment, allowing for precise grading, and features a single-dose hopper. In contrast, the Weber HG-2 employs an 83mm TiN-coated conical burr which supports a wider grind range from pour over to Turkish, with a stepped adjustment for setting grinding precision. The dosing method on the DF64E is primarily timed with a manual press option, while the HG-2 focuses on a manual method, enhanced by a two-speed transmission gearing system. Both grinders have very low retention levels, with the DF64E at <0.2g and the HG-2 at <0.1g.

Features Comparison

Notable features include the DF64E's fixed RPM at 1400, which contributes to consistent grind results, though it lacks adjustable RPM. On the other hand, the HG-2 offers adjustable RPM, enabling users to customize their grinding pace. Both grinders come with swappable burrs, which is a significant advantage as it allows users to change burr types based on their specific brewing preferences. The Turin grinder is optimized for espresso only, while the HG-2 allows for an extensive variety of brewing methods.
