EspressoBot Comparison

Machine Overview

Grinder 1, the Turin SD40 V2, is priced at $369 and targets beginners with its semi-automatic design. In contrast, Grinder 2, the Timemore Sculptor 078s, has a higher price point at $699 and is intended for intermediate users. Both grinders are categorized under espresso grinders but cater to different skill levels.

Brewing Comparison

In terms of grinding information, the Turin SD40 V2 employs a 40mm conical steel burr with a stepped adjustment method offering a grind range from pour-over to espresso. The dosing is accomplished through an on/off toggle and features a single dose hopper. The Timemore Sculptor 078s, on the other hand, uses larger 78mm flat hardened steel burrs with a stepless adjustment approach, allowing for finer control over grind settings. Primarily, it uses a side press button for dosing and also comes with a single-dose hopper, providing minimal retention.

Features Comparison

When discussing the key features, the Turin SD40 V2 has a fixed RPM of 400, while the Timemore Sculptor 078s offers adjustable RPM settings ranging from 800 to 1400, increasing its versatility. Both grinders maintain a full grind range suitable for espresso up to pour-over. Neither grinder has swappable burrs, indicating a fixed burr design that users must consider in terms of maintenance and upgrades.
