Machine Overview

Both the Turin SD40 V2 and the Turin DF54 are semi-automatic espresso grinders, positioned as beginner-friendly options. The SD40 V2 is priced at $369, while the DF54 is slightly less expensive at $229. Both grinders are marketed towards entry-level users, making them accessible for novice home baristas looking to enhance their coffee-making skills.

Brewing Comparison

In terms of grinding information, the SD40 V2 features a conical burr with a diameter of 40mm, utilizing a stepped adjustment method. It operates with a single-dose hopper and employs an on/off toggle for dosing. In contrast, the DF54 uses flat burrs with a larger diameter of 54mm and offers stepless adjustment, allowing for more fine-tuned grind settings. It also features a single-dose hopper but uses an on/off button for dosing, presenting differing user experiences in operation.

Features Comparison

For key features, the SD40 V2 does not support adjustable RPM and offers a grind range suitable for various brew methods, from pour-over to espresso. It also lacks swappable burrs. On the other hand, the DF54 does not have adjustable RPM either but boasts a similar grind range. Additionally, the DF54's focus on stepless adjustments and fine control may appeal more to users who wish to experiment with grinds, though it also does not provide swappable burrs.
