Machine Overview

The Turin SD40 V2 is priced at $369 and is aimed at beginners, while the Niche Zero is more expensive at $580 and targets users with an intermediate skill level. Both are categorized as semi-automatic grinders and offer different price points that reflect their intended audience and capabilities. The Turin brand aims to make espresso grinding accessible for new enthusiasts, whereas Niche provides more advanced options for those who have some experience.

Brewing Comparison

In terms of grinding information, both grinders utilize conical burrs but differ in burr diameter, with the Turin featuring a 40mm diameter and the Niche boasting a significantly larger 63mm. The Turin SD40 employs a stepped adjustment mechanism, allowing for a 10-micron grind size difference, while the Niche Zero offers a stepless adjustment for precision with a 1-micron adjustment scale. Both grinders use a single dose hopper type and employ similar primary dosing methods via on/off toggles. The Niche Zero has a slightly better retention rate at < .1g compared to Turin's < .2g, making it marginally more efficient for single doses.

Features Comparison

Regarding key features, neither grinder has adjustable RPM, but both have a grind range that supports everything from pour-over to espresso. The Turin SD40 is equipped with a plastic dosing cup, while the Niche Zero uses a 58 mm grind cup for holding grounds. Both grinders do not support swappable burrs, indicating that owners will use the same burr set for the lifetime of their machines. Each grinder’s design caters to its user demographic, balancing ease of use with performance capabilities.
