Timemore Sculptor 078 – for filter coffee (pour-over, French press, syphon)

- Grinder (Burrs): 78 mm Turbo Burrs – three-row, pyramid-shaped teeth (“Turborotor”), developed for even grinding with a relatively wide particle distribution and reduced fines – ideal for filter coffee

- Brewing methods: specialized in pour-over, French press, and siphon; not suitable for espresso
- Grinding adjustment: stepped, with 36 steps

- Motor: 400 W brushless motor with PID control, continuously adjustable from 800 to 1,400 rpm – low vibration and durable

- Design & Construction: Metal housing (aluminum & stainless steel), magnetic lid for containers, magnetic collection container, patented rotary beater to reduce residues

- Capacity: Bean hopper approx. 30 g beans, coffee catcher suitable for e.g. 58 mm portafilter

- Tasting profile: Excellent for light, naturally processed or experimental roasts – finely nuanced and clear, but less good for espresso or darker roasts

Timemore Sculptor 078S – all-rounder with an espresso focus

- Grinder (Burrs): 78 mm Flat Burrs, developed for high fineness and narrow particle distribution – particularly suitable for espresso, but also excellent for filter coffee

- Brewing methods: suitable for pour-over, French press, siphon and espresso

- Grinding degree adjustment: stepless – allows very fine gradations, ideal for dial-in for espresso

- Fine adjustment: finer thread pitch than the 078 – allows more precise control when grinding

- Motor & Design: Identical to 078: 400 W brushless motor, 800–1,400 RPM, same construction and features such as magnetic elements and rotary beater -

-Practical experience: Many users report that the 078S is particularly well suited for espresso, with a fuller texture and clear acidity at the same time – often described as sweet, velvety and clean in filter coffee

Comparison table

feature	Sculptor 078	Sculptor 078S
Burr type	Turbo Burrs (pyramidal)	Flat Burrs
Grinding adjustment	Stepped (36 steps)	Stepless (finer areas)
Suitable for espresso?	❌ No	✅ Yes
Fineness in the espresso range	limited	Very good control, fine adjustment
Filter coffee profile	Clarity, complexity	Sweet, clean, velvety
Thread play / precision	coarser	Finer (easier to dial-in)
Are replaceable burrs possible?	Yes, but step adjustment remains	Yes, remains stepless when exchanging

Recommendation: Which grinder is suitable?

• Filter coffee only? → 078: for maximum clarity, superior filter quality, excellent results with light roasts.
• Filter + espresso – one machine for everything? → 078S: More versatile, more finely adjustable, suitable for espresso and still very good for filter coffee.
• Pure espresso users? → The 078S is clearly superior due to its stepless adjustment, fine grinding profile, and consistent extraction.

Further information

• It is possible to exchange burrs (e.g. Turbo ↔ Flat), but the grinding mechanism remains: the 078 remains stepped, the 078S remains stepless, even after burr exchange
• Quality control: Some users occasionally reported grinding problems (e.g. metal abrasion or inconsistency) with the 078S – however, such cases seem to be comparatively rare and are being addressed by the manufacturer

Conclusion

- Sculptor 078: Excellent for filter coffee fans who prefer maximum clarity and nuance – with a stepped, reliable grinder.

- Sculptor 078S: The all-rounder – excellent control, espresso capability, and very good filter performance. If you need both, this is the perfect choice.

Timemore Sculptor 064S – Versatile all-round version

• Burr type: 64 mm Flat Burrs – optimized for espresso fineness, also suitable for filter coffee
• Grinding adjustment: stepless – highest precision with fine setting for espresso and medium grinding for filter
• RPM setting: 800–1200 rpm
• Motor & Workflow: Brushless, magnetic collection, rotary beater, low retention
• Application: suitable for espresso AND filter coffee

Recommendation

• Filter + Espresso (one device for both) → Sculptor 064S: stepless grinding adjustment makes precise dialing possible, suitable for espresso and filter.
• Espresso users only → also 064S, since the stepped version (064) does not offer a fine espresso range.

Conclusion

• Sculptor 064S: a versatile all-rounder – excellent espresso capability thanks to stepless flat burrs, while also producing a capable filter coffee grind, albeit not as pure as the pure Turbo design. Ideal if you value flexibility or use different brewing methods.

The Timemore Sculptor impresses with a combination of innovation, quality, and ease of use. Experience coffee enjoyment at the highest level with this unique coffee grinder.
