Professional 64mm Burr Coffee Grinder

Go completely nuts - for another 20 bucks get an [entry level 64mm flat burr electric grinder](https://a.co/d/4lPE5GR). If you like upgrading later? You get a path to other 64 mm flat burrs.

Yea, the Lance Hedrick effect for sure! Still a good deal at $199, but I prolly would have opted for the all stainless steel version by MOKKOM for the same price. That said, I’m sure you will find the Shardor to be well worth the price! I’ve really liked mine, and I’ve had it for 6 months now. Having the option to choose from so many different aftermarket burrs at this price point is what makes the Shardor great!

The Ode Gen 2 is more than up to the task. But IMHO, you don’t even need to spend that much because you drink dark roast. The Baratza Encore will easily meet your needs. If you are in the US, the [Shardor 64](https://www.amazon.com/SHARDOR-Professional-Adjustable-Electronic-Anti-Static/dp/B0DRF9PB58/ref=sr_1_1?crid=35TPCTU6R65G2&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.VZ4jgbRdCyTAFIJn42ouC2ZhxRSyEIyoOwOyPn0nIrg0aegalqOaVZuMrcd-ebOcJCWYkNZRWcn-8tN_weRpijplbwSSmiHc2FWqc9jPtLek0b0Jg3eXHm1qeY0vdZ2j_Ti056CaCubz64tFIPAvZxIqbmDV81y0xa2-jH2Lq6OfGlpbdxEuTOFNyHJVspP0jMZ76Pxc92pGMcAHd_VJeifcHi7nb-9DDeZcFHx1COgz4hYUkxuKOwP1Vsu72TTY_PJ4FBuDDPreFdLGpmbC74qaqek9onA39Z56wJlcVL8.7QPBDJdXHFukiCMhT2qFF1s9-kO4rdVU0EjrLfHQxyM&dib_tag=se&keywords=shardor+64mm+flat+burr+grinder&qid=1774101455&sprefix=Shardor%2Caps%2C146&sr=8-1) or [MOKKOM 64](https://www.amazon.com/MOKKOM-Professional-Adjustable-Electronic-Anti-Static/dp/B0F1YMTR1R/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?crid=33N6WBXTLCBF2&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.33mMxN3B9NteMcbTahPMa1tAX7lwdJUwd8Jvd7p3aehXBawjhpPXLlOeu6f6sVn90qvKouA8nHaoGTnhZKyC6MiA76yS1pGEift-62fld-yjneDiVXiSsKDuOUD5EfCY71jaEyv6axCxbptiaeOP99Sw3FWphdLfjJSoN5LRS2tnY42MwZ8ukyRC0HDJOgaNTWKA7PKlz0RX1rIbjTfl9g5bCxIlDrLiY7BxVrHcsX1Or01J_6Ks_PGSSSmRXRF1Hr_Qj7XDyleRr-CgoGdRiA.ePcdVAl7wgpyHMivJ79Pb7C6aNf4MK3RgKqkzPSQG3s&dib_tag=se&keywords=Mokkom+64mm+flat+burr+grinder&qid=1774101525&sprefix=mokkom+64mm+flat+burr+grinder%2Caps%2C116&sr=8-1-spons&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9hdGY&psc=1) are absolutely killer at their price points.

The DF64 V2 is perfectly fine for your use case, especially if you get it with the DLC burrs. The people who don’t prefer the DF64 V2 for filter coffee are mostly people who make manual pourover brewing light or ultralight roasts. Those people are looking for a lot of clarity and flavor separation in their cups, so they can taste the fruity notes that many of them chase. You drink dark roast coffee, where honestly, you don’t necessarily want to chase that kind of clarity and flavor separation.

The DF64 v2 should have no issue grinding 40-60g batches. Especially at filter grind sizes. I would not worry one bit about overheating or jamming. Taste Is subjective. People can taste the difference between the Ode Gen 2 and the DF64 v2 stock burrs, but again—those comparisons are invariably made by people brewing and drinking light/ultralight roasts. You drink dark roasts. If anything, I think the DF64 v2 w/ red titanium burrs will be better suited for dark roasts than the Ode Gen 2.

Shardor 64 will grind fine enough for Turkish.

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.

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.

As did I. The Shardor 64 stock burrs are geared more towards espresso.

If you are in the US, I would recommend the Shardor/Mokkom/Tuni 64 flat burr models available on Amazon, and the 64 mm Better Grinding brew burrs for $49 + shipping from MiiCoffee.com. This combo will come comfortably under $300 and perform an outstanding job for pourover and filter coffee.

As u/thebrieze said, you’re in kind of a tough spot if you are looking for a significant upgrade in the cup. So instead, I will suggest a $199 USD electric grinder that IMHO and experience provides quality very close to, if not equal to the K-Max—the Fellow Opus 2. I have owned an Opus 2 for 5 weeks now, and have used it daily since purchase. I also own quite a few other grinders, including a K-Ultra and Millab M01. In those 5 weeks, both my wife and I have really enjoyed the coffee the Opus 2 makes. It has become the workhorse. I’ve been meaning to do more side-by-side comparisons with my other grinders, but truth be told, I’ve enjoyed the coffee so much from the Opus 2 that it’s hard to bother with doing so. The workflow is outstanding, and it grinds very fast. I did do a quick side-by-side comparison between the Opus 2 and my Shardor 64 commercial w/ Lebrew filter burrs. It was only a single time with a single coffee (an Ethiopian Guji), so take it for a grain of salt—but my wife and I preferred the Opus 2! We found the Opus 2 to be better balanced, with more clarity and sweetness. The Shardor/Lebrew filter combo was very good, but a touch astringent in comparison. The more I use the Opus 2, the more I feel that Fellow has really created something special. I truly think it sets a new bar for entry-level priced electric grinders. IMHO, it has no peer at $199. Yes, the body is plastic and long term reliability is unknown. But the Opus 2 is truly a great grinder—I’ve not really wanted to use anything else since I bought it, and I own 15+ grinders!

I have the shardor flat burr. It’s good. $139. https://homeroastingsupplies.com/products/products-shardor-64mm-burr-coffee-grinder

Is the [Shardor 64mm flat burr grinder](https://www.amazon.com/SHARDOR-Professional-Adjustable-Electronic-Anti-Static/dp/B0DRF9PB58) available in the UK? It may be sold with different brand name. That's the lowest price Amazon grinder that would be recommended by this sub. If you see a different brand grinder that looks the same and has 64mm burrs, that's what you want. I wouldn't recommend any of your 4 options, and I also wouldn't recommend the Smart Grinder Pro. SGP is an old and dated design, with inconsistent grind size, high retention, and an overly large step size. Baratza ESP is priced similarly and is a much better choice.

Shardor 64mm flat burr grinder is good. Conical is not. Consider a Kingrinder K6 hand grinder for $100. That would be the best use of your $100 accessory budget.

There are aftermarket parts available for various upgrades, IE., single-dose hopper/bellows, titanium burr sets.

👍 Sure is. Just be sure to turn the dial, while the grinder is running, to adjust grind size. It has a stepless adjustment, which is exactly what you need, for fine adjustments, for espresso. IMHO, it's as good, or better than, that of the Breville Smart Grinder Pro, and the Baratza ESP, which are commonly advised, for entry-level espresso, at $200+. ... .. .
