SHARDOR - Professional 64mm Burr Coffee Grinder

Same here. Very pleased with the results.

Watched YouTube videos on burr alignment. Need to take your time. Disassembly was very straight forward. Need allen wrench (can't remember the size) for burr fasteners.

I bought it 2 weeks ago and it is fine but has a lot of retention even with the bellow of the hopper so I want to find just a bellow without a hopper bs it is a single-dose grinder which I prefer.

An update from me, who just got this grinder, it's really good and consistent, way too much bang for the buck

I have an encore esp and I'm being plagued by clumping and retention. I thought of getting a DF54 cause that's all my budget is atm, but thought that that would have been more of a side grade than an upgrade. Plus that grinder also had some clumping and static issues so I decided to not get a grinder till next year, save up for a df65. But then I saw this post, and another, and thought to try this one out. Ordered from Amazon US cause it's not sold on Amazon Canada. Had to pay $15 shipping and $17 customs (USD), for a total of around $157 US which was the cheapest. Waiting patiently for it to arrive!

Hi! Yes! I have been using it and intend to write a review of its quirks and features. DM me if you want a gist of my notes.

Shardor 64 will grind fine enough for Turkish.

Lagom Casa and Niche Zero won’t come close fitting in the OP’s $300 budget. The Lagom Mini barely does, but I’d hardly call the Mini as a grinder with decent capacity for a family. OP, your budget pretty much means you will need to compromise on at least one feature. I would live with the noise and get a Baratza Encore ESP. Alternatively, you may consider the Shardor 64 mm flat burr grinder, $169 on Amazon. While admittedly, long term reliability is an unknown and Shardor isn’t a big established brand yet, I have this grinder and it’s an outstanding performer. I’ve been using it regularly for several months now. Customer service for Shardor is quite responsive and they offer a two year warranty. You can install aftermarket burrs in it if you so choose. The stock burrs are more than capable for espresso, however.

Yes! I have installed Ode Gen 2 burrs in mine, since my wife and I are primarily filter coffee drinkers. They work really well, and installing aftermarket burrs was a simple process. I had e-mailed Shardor's customer service with respect to installing different burrs, and they were quite helpful. You would need a 2.5 mm hex key for removing the burrs, as the screws holding the burrs are M4 hex screws.

The MOKKOM 64 is mechanically identical to the Shardor 64.

I have a Shardor 64, which is this grinder’s mechanical twin. I’m currently running it with Ode Gen 2 brew burrs, and it works great! 😎

I have this exact setup. The Shardor 64 works great with Ode Gen 2 burrs!

I have one, and it's excellent for everyday use. In fact, I would say it's the best performing electric grinder under $200.

1ZPresso K-Ultra and Shardor 64 w/ Ode Gen 2 burrs. Which I already own.

For that price, I recommend the shardor 64mm

It’s another stepping stone grinder. Meaning I watched a lot of people in this sub buy a df54 or 64 and have quality issues or eventually move up to a high dollar unit anyway. So I figured I would give it a shot. I figure it I’m still using it 2 years from now and it breaks, then I can spend the money on the more forever unit.

The Shardor 64 is also an electric grinder that has a lot of features in common with more “premium” grinders, while still fitting your budget.  If your boyfriend is really up there in coffee snobbery, he’ll appreciate the stepless adjustment and compatibility with 64mm aftermarket burr sets.

I don’t use mine every day, but there’s really no reason you couldn’t.  I just tend to have a few different bags open at the same time, for one reason or another, and I have them all dialed in with different methods 😅

The Shardor 64 is a relatively new product that has become the gold standard for budget electric grinders.  You don’t get any guarantees on customer service or reliability, like you do with the Baratza Encore ESP, but the 64mm flat burr set gives you a relatively large platform for upgrades. AFAIK, the only issue with the Timemore Chestnut S3 (compared to the KinGrinder K6) is that it’s not nearly as good for espresso.  If you like the design, though, and only want to use it for filter coffee, it’s definitely worth getting.

I was looking at the Baratza Encore ESP, but the cheapskate in me ended up buying a Shardor 64mm flat burr on Amazon. It is easy to change settings. I’ve had no problems doing espresso and pour over. Best thing is $139 after Amazon coupon. So far it really seems to be excellent quality and I’m totally satisfied. Take a look at the quick review that Tom on Tom’s Coffee Corner did.

Used, I would go Ode Gen 2 on Marketplace. New, check the Shardor 64mm flat burr grinder on Amazon. It is $169 on Amazon in the US. A couple months ago, it had a $30 coupon.

I just bought this exact same set up, because my cafe job bought this grinder on a whim when ours broke down and I was decently surprised how it held up in COMMERCIAL use. I was sold enough.

I purchased mine last November when it was on sale for $130. I'm new to espresso and coffee in general, but I had decided on the DF54 as my next grinder. I was getting OK results with my conical burr grinder(also Shardor) before, but I knew it was time to upgrade. Then I found this one and gambled knowing I had the benefit of the long return window due to Christmas shopping. This thing really shouldn't be as good as it is for the price. Take that for what it's worth from a coffee novice. I will say, it makes it very difficult to justify buying a latte at a coffee shop when it's unlikely to be any better than what I'm making at home. It also helps that I buy good coffee from a local roaster. Since buying it, I found a small bellows on Amazon and 3d printed a single does hopper that fit the inlet of the grinder and the bellows. The retention isn't great, but the bellows does a pretty good job. It's rare that my output is more than 0.1g different than my input. I also leveled the top burr using tinfoil shims. It was a marginal improvement, but the increased consistency was noticeable in the shots I pull with it. It is made of plastic, but that doesn't bother me at this price. I'm hopeful that it will hold up, because I am very happy with it and the coffee I make with it.
