Machine Overview

The Turin SD40 V2 is positioned as a beginner-friendly grinder with a price point of $369, making it accessible for those new to espresso preparation. In contrast, the Bentwood Vertical 63 caters to advanced users and commands a significant premium at $2,695, reflecting its higher-end capabilities and complexities.

Brewing Comparison

In terms of grinding information, the Turin SD40 V2 employs a conical burr with a diameter of 40mm and utilizes a stepped adjustment method, allowing for precision in grind size adjustments measured in 10-micron increments. It features a single dose hopper and operates via an on/off toggle for dosing. The Bentwood Vertical 63, on the other hand, utilizes a flat burr measuring 63mm with a stepless adjustment mechanism, which enables infinitely precise grind adjustments within a scale of 1 micron. It comes with a hopper and uses a timed dosing method, providing consistency in dosing for more advanced brewing techniques.

Features Comparison

When examining key features, the Turin SD40 V2 does not offer adjustable RPM, whereas the Bentwood Vertical 63 operates at a fixed 1400 RPM, which can impact the grinding speed and efficiency. Both grinders cover a broad grinding range suitable for various brewing methods from pour over to espresso, but the SD40 V2 has a faster espresso grind speed of 24 seconds for 18g, compared to the 4 seconds of the Vertical 63. Neither grinder supports swappable burrs, which limits the ability to upgrade or customize the grinding experience over time.
