How we assign awards →The differences that matter
- Stepless adjustment against 60 steps → the X54 fine-tunes the grind without jumps, the Smart Grinder Pro works on fixed positions
- 250 g hopper against 450 g → the Smart Grinder Pro needs reloading less often
- Flat against conical burrs → two different set-ups, not a ranking
- Espresso, drip filter, French press and cold brew against the first three → cold brew is one more use for the X54
Which one to choose
Choose X54 if…
You want stepless adjustment for espresso and also make cold brew, which the Smart Grinder Pro doesn't list. The trade-off is the 250 g hopper against 450 g: more reloading if you grind for several people.
Choose Smart Grinder Pro if…
You grind for several cups in a row, or for a household, and the 450 g hopper needs reloading less often. The base is 21.5 × 16 cm, with less depth. The trade-off is the 60-step adjustment: no in-between positions, and cold brew isn't among the stated methods.
