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.
The grinder quality is fantastic, stacks up against much more expensive ones and even out preforms some of them. Really enjoying this purchase. Beyond that, costumer service is top notch! I had a specific request regarding the shipping and it was handled quickly with no issues at all.
Great buying experience with Turin.
I was blown away with the quality of the grinder! I have a flair 58 +2 and it pairs very well with it and makes my morning routine so much better. I would hands down recommend this grinder and I think the grind consistency and quantity is amazing!
Since arriving two weeks ago, my appreciation of this grinder has grown more every day, as I fully learn how to benefit from all it offers. It’s the perfect size for my compact home coffee bar. Right out of the box, the burrs and indicator were perfectly calibrated to zero. It’s surprisingly quiet, and there’s been virtually no retention. Grinds look great coming out, and my shots have been much more consistent (and photogenic!). Rotating the adjustment ring is a little tough and requires a lot of effort, we’ll see if that gets a little smoother as time goes on. But overall, its a amazing value and step up for my home espresso game.
Being able to grind light roast espresso is a game changer. This grinder unlocks fruit notes that I’ve never been able to taste. Wow! It has very low retention and isn’t super loud. Great product.
I have the v2 version of this grinder, and its a very capable grinder for both, Espresso and Pour over. Mine came with the stainless steel Italmill burrs, although the new ones come with DLC burrs which are supposedly even better.
What I dislike about this grinder is more the design and workflow issues. First, the stock chute and declumpers are some of the worst design you will see. It clogs up, produces uneven grounds due to regrinding, and is all around very poor. Replacing it with a stainless steel Mythos style declumper is a good upgrade. Second, the declumpers do need a spacer, otherwise the screws of the chute will hit the burrs while spinning. This is not told to you when you purchase the mythos style declumper, but its indeed needed. Third, mine did not come well aligned out of box and I had to spend time doing the marker test, shimming and aligning the burrs. Finally, the forks that came with the grinder to hold the portafilter and dosing cup rattle a lot - replacing it with a 3D printed holder and dosing cup is a worthy improvement.
However despite all these annoying flaws, for the price this is a good grinder if you are willing to do some mods as I suggested above.
Buy a 0.1mm stainless steel roll and DIY for 1/3rd the cost. At $10 this seems a bit overpriced, but works much better than the stock plastic ones.
This is super thin, so I recommend using the stock plastic spacer to keep the screws from hitting the burrs.
This grinder works perfectly. If you're on the fence just buy it. Its fast, quiet, and compact in size. I couldn't be happier with it. I'm using it for espresso
There is no other flat burr grinder that can match it in terms of price and quality.
when i finally figured out how the settings should be set, i was happy with the grinder. but neither the “manual,” your salesmen or the internet provided the most basic info on how to use it.
