Professional 64mm Flat Burr Coffee Grinder

I'm very happy with my Mokkom 64mm. It's [$170 Grinder](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0F1YMTR1R). I've had it for one month and am using it for espresso, drip, and manual press.

Good point. You can use SSP Burrs on the Mokkom and the single dose bellow is included. I also preffered the look of the metal body on the Mokkom.

[Mokkom 64mm](https://a.co/d/9qX2Esl) - cheap in cost, shiny - and I have been having tasty cups since my purchase. And you can throw in a Fellow Ode 2 gen burr and have a very versatile setup for pretty cheap without breaking your $300 budget.

On the electric side - save a little - pick up the Mokkom 64mm and get the Ode 2 Gen burrs as a separate upgrade. Whole setup can go around 250ish these days.

I think the cheap Chinese generics are worth considering. Obviously the real test is going to be long term reliability but so far my 180 dollar metal body 64mm flat burr grinder I got from Amazon seems to be exceeding expectations. I have the Mokkom 64mm. I think as far as white label Chinese ones the Shardor is more popular and slightly cheaper. But I got the Mokkom because it had a metal body (though its pretty light metal and suspect mostly plastic inside) and included a single dose bellows. Anyway out of the box the alignment seems fine as far as I can tell. I use it daily switching between espresso and pour over. Retention seems reasonable while using the bellows while grinding. For my espresso grinds I mostly do medium or light medium beans and have no issue getting fine enough. I still have plenty of room to go finer to the point I think it could do Turkish. And my coarse grinds for pour over are great as far as my pallette can discern. So not telling you to not go with name brand. There is no way to know how this will hold up long term. But if you are determined to stick to a very low budget this seems to be a good option.

The Encore ESP would be fine for what you want. However, I think the [MOKKOM 64 mm flat burr grinder for $169.99 on Amazon](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0F1YMTR1R/ref=sspa_dk_detail_1?psc=1&pd_rd_i=B0F1YMTR1R&pd_rd_w=UBiIh&content-id=amzn1.sym.f2f1cf8f-cab4-44dc-82ba-0ca811fb90cc&pf_rd_p=f2f1cf8f-cab4-44dc-82ba-0ca811fb90cc&pf_rd_r=ATPN76NR6KNWQAYHJMW7&pd_rd_wg=bxFYn&pd_rd_r=8b01a15f-5d05-4de9-bc3f-e7a537604ef4&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9kZXRhaWxfdGhlbWF0aWM) would be a better choice over the Encore ESP.

If you are in the US, I would suggest the [MOKKOM 64 mm flat burr grinder for $166 on Amazon for their Black Friday sale](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0F1YMTR1R/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_9?smid=ALQ2YTAK8B5SK&psc=1). There are quite a few reports of people having issues with clogging on the DF54 when grinding for espresso. The MOKKOM has bigger burrs and a stronger motor than the DF54 (260w vs 150w). Another option is the [Shardor 64 mm flat burr commercial grade grinder for $238 on Amazon](https://www.amazon.com/SHARDOR-Commercial-Grade-Precision-Anti-Static-Technology/dp/B0FG2R5Q92/?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_w=i6D58&content-id=amzn1.sym.4efc43db-939e-4a80-abaf-50c6a6b8c631%3Aamzn1.symc.5a16118f-86f0-44cd-8e3e-6c5f82df43d0&pf_rd_p=4efc43db-939e-4a80-abaf-50c6a6b8c631&pf_rd_r=ENDEY5TQE4S3CA8J5PCD&pd_rd_wg=QbKaA&pd_rd_r=3a56bb98-1ffe-4462-95da-56c566d8150c&ref_=pd_hp_d_atf_ci_mcx_mr_ca_hp_atf_d). That grinder features a stout 350w motor. But you would have to buy an aftermarket single dose hopper, if that matters for you (you can still single dose using the big hopper). To answer your question about whether the brew burrs are necessary on the DF54--strictly speaking, they are not. Many people seeking higher clarity for filter coffee opt for the brew burrs.

No problem! 😊 I prefer the MOKKOM and Shardor to the DF54 for your use case. If you were specifically going for higher clarity pourovers only, then I would have recommended the DF54 + brew burrs.

Pretty good review, if a bit reserved. He says the motor in the model he reviewed is 200w. However, the motor in my Shardor is 260w, so I’m not sure if there is a difference in the model he has vs mine, or if Lance just got the specs wrong. He’s basically of the opinion that prospective purchasers should buy it with the idea of upgrading the burrs. Which is what I did. I installed Ode Gen 2 burrs in mine—Lance discussed quite a few burr options, but not the Ode Gen 2 burrs. He also tested the RPM, and it came in at 570. I think there was an opportunity to discuss the performance at the lower RPM vs other 64 mm flat burr grinders that grind at higher RPM (i.e, Ode Gen 2 is 1400 RPM). All-in-all, it’s a pretty thorough review, though.

For those of you in the US, I just saw an [all stainless steel body version](https://www.amazon.com/MOKKOM-Professional-Adjustable-Electronic-Anti-Static/dp/B0F1YMTR1R/ref=sr_1_5?crid=2VV9HUDEQHOZ0&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.sbGhPteexD4GarhWRMf7-aCwZOE0dd0AE7WjgV7pBuE3p5h9jCujKB0SzLByLG0Utt-DcXoPKLdAfmmpM7__E469VBVGW8bKMM3YJEn0fMOLOpARk0qdo8BrXTZRNFAqJzyp9XS_VH1V9-_tfYlHJ8Ecz_9RgHozy2pRfAjnq2L91NEUdZMW7qDu0Rq5xfl1QBCTLwQNP4-CJoykhcooOmzI7ZfUdfuyIgVm7nrsX-1orhMONoAHR-aqyFKTs7rq1i5LcHkc64mrloZEKfyBRM6a6Sws2U2JK5LTRhpY3Xs.IvRVNVYg1ekzI49SJrLOhDxy3inEfJT8L4Gxq4eJojw&dib_tag=se&keywords=mokkom+coffee+grinder&qid=1755300213&sprefix=%2Caps%2C152&sr=8-5) of the Shardor 64 mm flat burr grinder on Amazon for $199 after $30 coupon. Looks intriguing!

Agree on the Mokkom 64. Mine came reasonably aligned from factory but YMMV.

The stock burrs on my Mokkom are fine, and most "elite" reviewers concur. Fancy new burrs would cost more than the entire grinder, with marginal improvement at best.

Mokkom 64 is amazing value for $180. I had the Smart Grinder Pro and sold it. Terrible retention. Too large of step adjustments.
