EspressoBot Comparison

Machine Overview

Grinder 1, the Turin SK40, is priced at $199 and is aimed at beginners, while Grinder 2, the Turin DF64 Gen 1, is priced at $350 and targets intermediate users. Both models belong to the semi-automatic category and are manufactured by the same brand, Turin. The price difference reflects their intended skill levels and features, with the DF64 being positioned as a more advanced choice.

Brewing Comparison

In terms of grinding information, Grinder 1 utilizes conical burrs with a 40mm diameter and has a stepless adjustment method, focusing specifically on espresso grinding. It offers a single dose hopper and doses via an on/off toggle, allowing users to control the grind with precision. On the other hand, Grinder 2 features flat burrs of 64mm diameter and also employs stepless adjustment, but provides a broader grind range from pour-over to espresso. Similar to the SK40, it has a single dose hopper but includes a 45-second auto-off secondary dosing method.

Features Comparison

When comparing key features, Grinder 2 has a crucial advantage with its swappable burrs that allow for customization, a feature not available in the SK40. Additionally, while both grinders operate with stepless adjustment and have similar retention rates, the DF64 features a notably higher motor wattage at 250W, facilitating a grind speed of 15 seconds for 18g, compared to the 24 seconds for the SK40. The DF64’s capacity for higher RPM at 800 also sets it apart in terms of efficiency in grinding.
