I like the consistency of the grind size. The industrial look. The heftiness of it. I like the sound (I live alone). I like the cup feel and size. It’s fast. Fast enough that NOT having an automatic shut off isn’t a big deal, although I’d have liked to just turn it on and go by my business do something else, but watching the grounds pour into the cup is kinda cute so.
I do not like the cup holder, and yes with that extra soft rubbery piece it does sit high enough to limit static fly offs but it’s not a smooth in/out feel. The whole thing is rugged and industrial then you have the rubbery thing. So I changed the holder to an after market holder from Etsy and that issue is fixed. Next, the bellow and cap. The wooden cap fits the bellows top sooo tightly. If you push the cap to close the bellow you won’t be able to remove the cap with one hand, it’ll bring the bellow out with it. You’ll have to hold the bellow with one hand and peel the cap with another hand. You could FILE the wooden cap maybe 1-2mm along the circumference so it fits a tad looser to allow for one handed operation, on and off. Aside from those 2 issues it’s great, I can’t imagine any Turin executive tried the cap/bellow fit repeatedly and didn’t see that issue. You’d notice it first day of use. I elected to swap the bellow for an after market hopper. Here both after market mods are showing in the picture.
We received our Turin a little over a month ago and boy is it ever a sweet little grinder. It’s consistent, accurate and live the perfect grind for the perfect cup.
I would give 5 star, except one of my grind got stuck in darker roast and had to open the whole machine to unclog it. Fortunately it's workout as it used to now.
Shipping was quick to South Korea, only took 2-3 days, and did not have to pay import charges.
The sticker itself is very nice as it seems like a thicker metal foil sticker. I needed on as the one on the machine got mangled, but $10 for a single tiny sticker and $8 of shipping locally is pretty wild...
Well built and easy to operate. Makes nice fluffy grounds for espresso. Have only used for a month or so but so far it is great!
