Machine Overview

The Turin SD40 V2 is priced at $369 and is designed for beginners, while the DF64 Gen 2 is available at $399 and is aimed at intermediate users. Both grinders are semi-automatic, with Turin as the common brand, making them ideal for users looking for quality espresso equipment. The price difference indicates a slight premium for the DF64 Gen 2, which also suggests additional features or improved performance.

Brewing Comparison

In terms of grinding information, the SD40 V2 utilizes a conical burr with a burr diameter of 40 mm and features a stepped adjustment system. On the other hand, the DF64 Gen 2 employs a larger 64 mm flat burr and offers a stepless adjustment mechanism. Both models use a single-dose hopper and rely on an On/Off activation method, though the DF64 Gen 2 includes a 45-second auto-off feature for safety. The retention of both grinders is comparable, with the SD40 having slightly less at <0.2g compared to the DF64's <0.25g.

Features Comparison

Regarding key features, the SD40 V2 has a fixed RPM of 400, while the DF64 Gen 2 operates at a higher maximum speed of 1400 RPM, but neither grinder offers adjustable RPM. Both grinders provide a versatile grind range suitable for espresso and other brewing methods. However, the DF64 Gen 2 supports swappable burrs, allowing for substitution or upgrade options, while the SD40 V2 does not provide this feature, enhancing the customization potential of the DF64 Gen 2.
