In 2022, Timemore launched the Sculptor 078 electric coffee grinder.
At that time, Timemore pursued professionalism to the extreme, so the 078 focused entirely on manual brewing methods (especially pour over).
Timemore also planned to offer an optional 78mm burr set specifically for espresso needs. However, users had to wait quite a while. The reason is that switching grinding purposes isn’t just about swapping burrs—it involves adjusting many other components to match.
In early 2024, the Sculptor 078S grinder was officially released to espresso machine coffee enthusiasts.
STRUCTURAL DIFFERENCES BETWEEN TIMEMORE SCULPTOR 078 AND 078S BURRS
TIMEMORE SCULPTOR 078 COFFEE BURRS
Turbo Ghost design with 3-layer cutting teeth for superior uniformity. Especially suitable for coarse grinding methods (pour over, cold brew)
TIMEMORE SCULPTOR 078S COFFEE BURRS
Flat burr design capable of fine grinding for espresso (particle size under 200 micrometers), suitable for all espresso machines from beginner to professional
GRIND ADJUSTMENT DIFFERENCES BETWEEN TIMEMORE SCULPTOR 078 AND 078S

Differences in adjustment thread pitch on Timemore Sculptor 078 and 078S machines
The Sculptor 078S has very fine thread pitch. The grind adjustment system is stepless, allowing users to control coffee particle size at the micrometric level. This is why the 078S is truly suitable for professional espresso grinding needs.
SCULPTOR 078S ISN’T JUST SPECIAL FOR PROFESSIONAL ESPRESSO – IT’S ALSO VERSATILE FOR MANUAL BREWING METHODS
To be fair, when choosing between a grinder purely for pour over versus an espresso grinder that can also handle pour over, the 078S is the top choice.
Switch from espresso to any other brewing method with just a simple turn!

Sculptor 078S handles standard espresso grinding in the 0-2.5 setting range, while the remaining numbers work well for various other brewing methods
