Turin Grinders - DF64

I purchased my DF64 gen1 from Alibaba back when there wasn't a US distributor yet. Process was fine and I got my grinder pretty quick. No input on the "Eureka" dupes.

I have a DF64p and bought a regular DF64 to keep with my other machine at my parent’s house. If I buy a 1k+ grinder and I think it makes that much of difference I will 100% buy another one. I’m thinking of upgrading my machine first tho.

I love my ZP6. I also have a DF64ii, a Gevi, and an Ode 2. I rarely do batches as large as you do, but I usually gravitate to the ZP6. But the DF64ii is solid. I'm setting up a coffee station at work, and it'll be my go-to work grinder. My Gevi works really well when I use my v60 or Origami, but I still use the ZP6. I don't use my Ode very often.

DF64 with SSP MP. The newest gen doesn’t require as much modding as the orig.

A capable grinder with SSP MP (or Brew burrs) is worth considering. Could be a DF64 or an Ode. Or Zerno, if you don’t mind the cost or wait. I just moved from a DF64 with SSP MP to the new F74 Navigator. Am very happy with the marked improvement in workflow (though wish there was a bellows; am sure someone will make one). Just waiting for the burrs to season to weigh in on the ultimate taste in the cup. So far so good; curious if it will get even better (as the MPs did after a couple months). The grinds are fantastic and the relatively small footprint is nice.

Had a Turin DF-64 with SSP burrs, which I loved, but it was damaged in a terrible Vermont flood this summer. It was loud before, but after repairing, it made an even more hideous noise, but still seemed to grind ok. During the four months of being displaced from our home, I became accustomed to using a Timemore C-2 Max that I had purchased mainly for traveling. When we finally rented a new apartment (with neighbors), she scowled at me and said "you're not gonna use that thing, are you?" I was like, "ok sure, but I'm upgrading and getting a K-ultra!" First thing every morning I now make three pourovers with the K-Ultra grinder and Hario V-60 01 drippers. It's definitely more tedious, but I enjoy the morning ritual, and there's been no trouble with disturbing new neighbors at 6 AM either. As others have mentioned on here, I can also feel the texture differences in the beans, where lighter roasts are more of a crunchy workout, and the dark roasts feel smooth and easy. Cheers!

Depends on your budget, I use a DF64 with SSP multimodal burrs but I’d be happy with the DF54 as well. So much value for the dollar.

DF64 all day long! I’ve got one of the interactions of the first interactions of the first version. Perhaps the 3rd enhancement. I upgraded the burrs because it only cost $350 about 4-years ago plus burrs taking it up to $499. IT WORKS GREAT!!!! From my experience I would buy one again if I were to buy a new one. I works great so I’m not motivated to change.

I second this. it's a very solid flat burr grinder with a lot of range from filter coffee to espresso. Build quality is fantastic, but it is a single dose grinder, so if you are looking for something with a hopper that can grind through larger amounts, then Baratza Encore ESP is a good introductory grinder with espresso range

I have a df 64 and although i have upgraded my espresso grinder, i still use the df64 for drip. It’s a very good piece for the money. It works well enough and produces a fairly good consistent grind.

tons 😁 Yes it has, but it matters only at the moment you switch beans and you fix it by grinding 2 grams after the switch that you discard. No big deal, unlike the spray of powder that arises from the DF64 due to static
