Machine Overview

Grinder 1, the Turin DF83 V2, is priced at $899 and targets intermediate skill levels, making it suitable for those with some espresso experience. In contrast, Grinder 2, the Varia VS3, is more budget-friendly at $299 and is designed for beginners, offering a more approachable entry point into espresso grinding. Both grinders are semi-automatic, indicating they require user interaction for operation but provide consistent grind quality.

Brewing Comparison

In terms of grinding information, Grinder 1 employs a flat burr with an 83 mm diameter, featuring a stepless adjustment for precise grinding. Grinder 2 uses a conical burr with a smaller 38 mm diameter, also offering stepless adjustment but with a manual on/off dosing method. Both grinders utilize single-dose hoppers, which help minimize retention and ensure fresher coffee grounds by allowing only the necessary amount of beans to be ground at a time.

Features Comparison

Key features highlight the differences in design and functionality. Grinder 1 has an espresso grind speed of 18g per shot at 1400 RPM, while Grinder 2 has a grind speed of 20g per shot at a lower RPM of 190. Both grinders support swappable burrs, allowing users to change the grinding components for different brewing methods, but only Grinder 1 has adjustable RPM capabilities, providing flexibility in grinding speed for various applications.
