Ich trink zwar mehr Espresso aber hab, vor 2 Tagen die DF54 bestellt... 198€ + Versand (213€)... Is so grad noch unter 200€.. oder eben auch nicht ;-) https://df64coffee.com/products/df54 Wenn die zu teuer ist, Baraza Encore ESP.
I had the same question and ordered a DF54! (Yesterday). I had local vendor offering the Mignon Zero 55s, for 250€, but after many people here and on discord and other sources suggested that the DF54 is just the better grinder and is cheaper I decided to get the Df54, (from the same vendor, I paid a little more (compared to https://df64coffee.com/ ), but now I got local support and supported a local business.
Df54 should fit that budget.... Or go hand grinder and get a j-Ultra or commandante
Interesting, I think it's quite beautiful it's slim and sleek but that's subjective Also I don't understand why that would push your budget? I tried a random Amsterdam adress and it came to 202€, so quite below your budget. And at that price point it absolutely outperforms, everything. https://df64coffee.com/ A different option, would be a Mignon Eureka singledose like the zero 55, but I have been told it's not as good as the DF54. But I have no experience with mignon and they make really good grinders like the smart or the Specialita.
I love my DF54!
The updated ionizer / chute design makes a massive difference as well; zero retention, no more clogging issues and no more static. I've only had mine for about two months now and I'm positively surprised!
Would recommend you Profitec Go + DF54 grinder. You can find deals sometimes for both of these. I had a dilemma about some machines and decided to get the Profitec go because of the versatility of the E61 head group and different mods/parts, same goes with the grinder, you can find freely alot of Parts/"Mods" for Profitec go and for DF54 (burrs/declamp/antistatic) Heat time is fast Regarding their footprint its small and compact Grinds are good and nothing left behind No issues with any of these.
I had it for a while and it never jammed once. But I agree the cleaning process creates a mess.
this isn't always the case. I had a DF54 and my Lagom Casa which is conical is much better for getting tasting notes. The burrs although conical perform just like high end flat burr griner.
Agreed. Very happy with my D54.
I believe those are all white labels for the same product. I have a “MiiCoffee” DF54 and it’s been an absolute tank. I just clean the chute every now and then and it works great.
Picked up a MiiCoffee DF54 as a dedicated espresso grinder but sneak in an occasional pourover… damn is it good!
Second this. A bambino plus with the DF54 is rock solid. Grab yourself a new portafilter with an upgraded filter basket (I love the Big Bang) and you’ll be in great shape. Get a big ol bag of decent but cheap beans to tear through as you learn your new setup. Save the good stuff once you’re pulling good shots.
