EspressoBot Comparison

Machine Overview

Both grinders belong to the Turin brand and are designed for beginner users. The Turin SK40 is priced at $199, while the Turin SD40 V2 is significantly higher at $369. Both models are classified as semi-automatic, catering to those who are just starting their espresso journey.

Brewing Comparison

In terms of grinding information, both the SK40 and SD40 V2 utilize conical burrs made of steel with a diameter of 40mm. The SK40 features a stepless adjustment mechanism with a fine-tuning scale of 1 micron, primarily utilizing an on/off toggle for dosing. In contrast, the SD40 V2 offers stepped adjustment with a coarser scale of 10 microns, also employing an on/off toggle as the dosing method. Both grinders come with a single dose hopper, ensuring minimal retention of coffee grounds, reported at less than 0.2g for both models.

Features Comparison

Regarding key features, neither grinder offers adjustable RPMs, as both operate consistently at 400 RPM. The grind range for the SK40 is limited to espresso, while the SD40 V2 allows for a broader range extending from pour-over to espresso. Additionally, both grinders do not provide swappable burrs, which might limit long-term flexibility in the grinding performance.
