Machine Overview

The Turin SD40 V2 and Fellow Opus are both semi-automatic espresso grinders targeted at beginners. The Turin SD40 V2 is priced at $369, while the Fellow Opus is more budget-friendly at $195. Despite the price difference, both brands aim to provide quality grinders suitable for those new to brewing espresso.

Brewing Comparison

In terms of grinding information, both grinders utilize conical burrs with a diameter of 40mm, but the materials differ, with the Turin using steel and the Fellow opting for stainless steel. The Turin has a stepped adjustment for grind size, offering a range of full pour-over to espresso, while the Fellow also has a stepped adjustment but provides a finer adjustment scale of 5 microns. Both grinders feature a single-dose hopper and have similar dosing methods, yet the Fellow distinguishes itself with a timed auto-stop primary dosing method, allowing for more precise control over dosing.

Features Comparison

When looking at key features, the Turin SD40 V2 does not offer adjustable RPM, whereas the Fellow Opus operates at a fixed RPM of 350. Both grinders cover a versatile grind range suitable for various brewing methods. A notable difference is that the Fellow Opus allows for swappable burrs, providing the potential for upgrades and customization, while the Turin SD40 V2 does not have this feature, emphasizing the importance of choosing a grinder based on long-term flexibility.
