Multiple Brands - DF64V Gen 1

I have the DF64 v1 with SSP multi modal burrs and it was great with my Silvia and now with my Robot. But I have another grinder for pourover so I can’t speak to that.

We have a cafelat robot and a df64 grinder and an Xbloom studio. A little more than $1000 but that combination makes amazing espresso or really good pour over depending on what you’re feeling like

I’m sorry you’re right, I was thinking about the DF64V

I have 4. A C40 and a Zp6 for pour over (one stays at work). And a DF64V and a niche zero for espresso. Got the Df64V to try flat burrs for espresso so might sell the niche but tempted to keep it for dark roasts.

DF64V, looks good, quiet, variable speed, and fantastic price. Replaced a mazzer mini with it and very happy....Was about $500cdn

Just an idea but maybe consider the DF64V as well. If you’re thinking long term you might be into tweaking grind speed at some point. And it is still on sale at homebarista.be for 442€. Feels like a steal. Edit: I forgot to say that I have that as well and super happy with it. You need to use the bellow to get every bit of coffee out that you put in but I like the burr settings and shot quality. Upgraded from C3Pro.

I use it exclusively, for the milk drinker and dark roast lovers it’s probably the best option if you don’t mind single dosing. For medium roasts it’s still really good, can you get more “clarity” with an expensive grinder that produces less fines? Probably but compared to your average espresso focused flat burr I’d have to do a taste test I’ve owned the specialita and the df64v (tried out stock and SSP MPs) so I can confirm people exaggerate when they say it’s not suited for medium-light roasts. As for Nordic light roasts and your average espresso machine you’d probably get a glass of OJ unless you pull a turbo shot though but for most applications the niche zero is solid and I have it paired with my micra.

I just got my Eureka Mignon Libra 65 AP a week ago, and I love it. I make several back-to-back double shots every morning, and the weighing of beans for every shot started to get annoying. I started weighing out 4 shots of beans at once into separate containers, which helped, but I felt the retention and mess of my DF64V was ruining the experience. Dosing and cleanup with the Eureka is so much more enjoyable. I use a whole bag of beans in a week, so not too concerned about them getting stale. Sometimes I just put in a half-bag at a time, still better than before.

I can speak for the DF64V: burr change and full clean is in the range of 3-10 min (depending on your thoroughness). The adjustable grind speed lets you adjust the amount of fines. It is shockingly quiet. Only thing you absolutely have to do for drip (and in my opinion for every purpose) is remove the declumper (3 min job). That was the bigger upgrade than the SSP burrs!

DF64V (stock DLC burrs) for when I’m lazy; J-Max for normal espresso; ZP6 for pour overs

The obvious answer would be the DF64v, the DF64's slimmer and prettier sister. I'm not in love with the wooden block for the catch cup to sit on, it's weird that they didn't stick with the tried and true forks, but it's undeniably a lot closer to the sleek elegance of the lagom P64. The other 64mm flat option but in a different form factor would be the timemore sculptor 064S. Quite a good looking machine imo, by all accounts very good, although a bit more of a pain than most to gain access to the burr chamber.
