Grind setting conversion
Timemore Sculptor 064 vs Timemore Sculptor 078
Burr size within the same electric platform.
| Sculptor 064 | Sculptor 078 | |
|---|---|---|
| Brand | Timemore | Timemore |
| Scale | Numbered dial | Numbered dial |
| Dial range | 1 – 40 | 1 – 50 |
| Burrs | Flat | Flat |
| Espresso → filter | 14 numbers | 17 numbers |
| Filter → coarse | 16 numbers | 18 numbers |
The same number means different things
Both grinders use a numbered dial, which makes it tempting to copy a number straight across. Setting 21 sits at grind index 52.9 on the Sculptor 064 but 37.7 on the Sculptor 078 — far enough apart to change the cup.
Converting a setting
If a recipe quotes a setting for one of these grinders, read across for the equivalent on the other. Rows are spaced evenly by grind size, not by dial number — on a conical burr those are not the same thing.

The shape of each dial
Where the connectors bunch, that grinder’s dial is compressed and single steps count for more. Comparing the two shapes tells you which gives finer control, and where.

Dialing in the Sculptor 064
Timemore's move upmarket into electric flat-burr grinding, with a genuinely usable espresso range unlike their hand grinders. Single dose oriented, and noticeably more consistent through filter than the C-series it sits above.
Dialing in the Sculptor 078
The larger-burr Sculptor, faster and slightly cleaner in the cup than the 064. Dialling behaviour is similar; the difference you notice day to day is grind speed rather than a different set of numbers.
