Machine Overview

The Turin SK40 is priced at $199 and is designed for beginners, making it a more approachable option for those new to espresso brewing. In contrast, the Turin DF64 Gen 2 retails at $399 and is suited for intermediate users, implying that it may require more experience or knowledge to operate effectively. Both grinders fall under the semi-automatic category, indicating they provide flexibility in operation while still requiring user input.

Brewing Comparison

In terms of grinding information, the SK40 utilizes conical burrs with a 40mm diameter and operates at 400 RPM. It features a stepless adjustment system, allowing for fine-tuning with an adjustment scale of 1 micron, while employing a single dose hopper and an on/off toggle for dosing. Conversely, the DF64 Gen 2 uses flat burrs measuring 64mm in diameter and spins at a higher RPM of 1400. It also features a stepless adjustment system with the same 1 micron precision but features an on/off button for dosing and a unique 45-second auto-off second dosing option.

Features Comparison

Regarding key features, the SK40 does not offer adjustable RPM, limits its grind range primarily to espresso, and has non-swappable burrs. On the other hand, the DF64 Gen 2 includes a higher motor wattage, supports a broader grind range from pour-over to espresso, and allows for swappable burrs, enhancing versatility. These refinements in the DF64 Gen 2 cater more to advanced users looking for flexibility and customizability in their grinding process.
