About Turin
Turin Grinders is the in-house grinder and espresso-machine brand of Espresso Outlet LLC, a US coffee-equipment importer and distributor founded in 2013 by Joe and Stephanie Kolb. What started as a small operation has grown into one of the larger coffee-equipment distributors in the country, and Espresso Outlet now runs Turin as its exclusive USA import channel alongside brands like Wendougee and Kaleido. The Turin lineup centers on single-dosing grinders -- the SD40 and SK40 series at the entry end, the DF64 Gen 2 and larger DF83/DF83V flat-burr grinders above them -- plus a small line of espresso machines and manual hand grinders.
The brand's flagship, the Turin DF64 Gen 2, has drawn independent coverage from coffee-equipment publications including CoffeeGeek and Home Grounds, both evaluating it as a strong value single-dose grinder against pricier enthusiast alternatives -- third-party validation of the same single-dosing engineering (tilted base, rubber bellows, near-zero retention) that carries through to the budget SK40 we feature. On our own bench, the SK40's stepless auger-collar adjustment and 40mm stainless conical burrs deliver infinite fine-tuning and near-zero retention at a price that usually buys only a stepped hopper grinder -- the reason it earned its place among our espresso grinder picks.

Why we recognized Turin
The Brew Gazette Top Brand recognition isn't paid for and can't be applied for. We award it to the brands whose products consistently stand out in our hands-on category reviews. Turin earned it on the strength of the products below, evaluated the same way every product on this site is: bought, brewed with daily, and judged on what lands in the cup.
Turin products we rated highly
Turin SK40 Single-Dose Espresso Grinder
It brings true single-dose, near-zero-retention grinding down to a budget price -- a tilted base and rubber bellows push the grounds out so cleanly that owners repeatedly say what goes in is exactly what comes out, which is the single most-requested espresso feature and usually costs twice as much. The adjustment is genuinely stepless, not stepped, so you get infinite fine-tuning at the espresso end for the same money as a stepped hopper grinder. The 40mm stainless conical burrs and all-aluminum body punch well above the price, and it carries the highest early rating of any electric grinder in our roundup.

- A top pick in our espresso grinder testing, standing out among electric single-dose grinders costing well more.
- Genuinely stepless adjustment via an auger collar at a price that usually only buys a stepped hopper grinder -- infinite fine-tuning at the espresso end rather than fixed clicks.
- Near-zero retention by design: a tilted base and rubber bellows push grounds out so cleanly that reviewers consistently report what goes in is what comes out.
- Backed by Espresso Outlet LLC, a US coffee-equipment distributor operating since 2013 and the exclusive USA importer for the Turin lineup -- not a drop-shipped, unsupported import.
- The brand's flagship DF64 Gen 2 has drawn independent coverage from CoffeeGeek and Home Grounds as a value single-dose grinder, third-party validation of the same engineering approach behind the SK40.
