In terms of grinding information, the Varia VS3 uses conical burrs with a diameter of 38 mm and operates at 190 RPM, employing a manual on/off dosing method with a hopper designed for single doses. The Turin DF64 utilizes flat burrs that are larger at 64 mm and spins at a higher 800 RPM, featuring an on/off toggle dosing method along with a 45-second auto-off function for convenience. Both grinders offer stepless adjustment, allowing users to fine-tune the grind size according to their brewing needs.
