EspressoBot Comparison

Machine Overview

Grinder 1, the Turin DF83 V2, is priced at $899 and is tailored for an intermediate skill level, while Grinder 2, the Turin DF54, is more budget-friendly at $229 and designed for beginners. Both models are categorized as semi-automatic espresso grinders, indicating a user-friendly operation suitable for home baristas. The significant price difference reflects the difference in features and capabilities targeted at their respective user demographics.

Brewing Comparison

In terms of grinding information, Grinder 1 employs 83mm stainless steel flat burrs with stepless adjustment, allowing for precise grind settings within a wide range from pour-over to espresso. Grinder 2 uses smaller 54mm custom stainless steel flat burrs, also featuring stepless adjustment, offering the same versatility in grind range. Both grinders come with a single-dose hopper type, but Grinder 1 uses an on/off toggle for dosing, while Grinder 2 utilizes an on/off button. This distinction in dosing method provides different user experiences, with Grinder 1 being potentially more hands-on.

Features Comparison

Examining key features, Grinder 1 does not have adjustable RPM, while Grinder 2 also lacks this feature. However, both grinders boast a full grind range suitable for various brewing methods and offer the ability to switch or swappable burrs in Grinder 1. The lower retention of less than 0.2g in Grinder 1 compared to Grinder 2's retention of less than 0.1g could indicate a slight edge in freshness for the latter, although both are designed for minimal retention overall.
