How we assign awards →The differences that matter
- 450 g hopper against 30 g → fill and grind on demand against one dose at a time
- 60 steps against stepless adjustment → X64 SD reaches the in-between settings Smart Grinder Pro lacks
- Conical against flat burrs, with five declared methods against three → pour over and cold brew are X64 SD only
Which one to choose
Choose X64 SD if…
you alternate espresso, pour over, drip filter and cold brew and change coffees often, one dose at a time and without steps. The trade-off is weighing and pouring every dose by hand into a 30 g hopper, and the higher outlay. It is 25.3 cm deep but only 24.9 cm tall.
Choose Smart Grinder Pro if…
you mostly make espresso, drip filter or French press from the same coffee and fill the 450 g hopper only once. The trade-off is the 60 adjustment steps, with no in-between settings, and the declared methods, which do not include pour over or cold brew. It is 38.9 cm tall: check it fits under your cabinet.
