EspressoBot Comparison

Machine Overview

Both espresso grinders belong to the Turin brand and fall under the semi-automatic category. The Turin SD40 V2 is priced at $369 and is aimed at beginners, while the Turin DF64 Gen 1 has a slightly lower MSRP of $350 and targets intermediate users.

Brewing Comparison

In terms of grinding information, the SD40 V2 utilizes conical burrs with a diameter of 40 mm and employs a stepped adjustment system, allowing for a grind range suitable from pour-over to espresso. Its hopper is single dose, and dosing is achieved through an on/off toggle, with a retention rate of less than 0.2 grams. Conversely, the DF64 Gen 1 features flat burrs with a larger diameter of 64 mm and uses a stepless adjustment mechanism for finer control, also supporting a full range from pour-over to espresso. It too has a single dose hopper but further includes a 45-second auto-off secondary dosing method, with a retention rate of less than 0.25 grams.

Features Comparison

Key features highlight the SD40 V2's limitations in adjustable RPM, as it operates at a fixed 400 RPM, whereas the DF64 Gen 1 operates at a higher, fixed 800 RPM without any adjustment. Both grinders share a comprehensive grind range but differ in burr swappability; the DF64 allows for swappable burrs for potential customization, while the SD40 does not. Overall, both grinders cater to different user preferences in terms of control, grind type, and usability features.
