Turin Grinders - DF83V

I have Mignon Specialita and it's OK, but if I had the knowledge that I have now when I bought my first grinder, I'd buy DF64. Now I'm eyeing a DF83V as an upgrade, but I'm currently out of money... The things that piss me off the most are: \- Freaking small adjustment wheel. You only touch it and the grind size difference is huge. (can be modded if you have 3d printer) \- Has dumb burr size. They have their specific diameter and specific hole spacing so you can't buy different burrs then form Eureka. \- Struggles with lighter roasts (my burrs are almost touching almost every time I try to dial in any light roast) \- kinda high retention if you don't tilt your grinder with 3d printed base and don't slap it few times after grinding.

If you can afford it, the DF83V is a beast! Also, the MHW 3-Bomber F74 Navigator would be in you budget and punches above its weight imo, almost on par with a Mazzer Philos for over 1k.

the DF83V from MiiCoffee is kinda where you want to be at if i’m being honest

***DF83V - £699*** (with 10% discount) It's the bang for buck champ at end-game level specs/ features. Has all you need + scope for burr upgrades (which I did, to SSP MP after 6 months). The only significant feature it doesn't have is blind burrs (but they're less impactful with larger burrs). Year and a half later and I have zero upgrade itch.

DF 83v out of those

DF83V. Much better than Timemore and you can try different burrs. Awesome grinder, best to order from Coffee Friends, they currently have the second model in stock. Old motor and everything else like version 2. Awesome grinder, I've had it for 3 weeks.

Just look at the time stamps in the description and check out all A and higher grinders there are options for different budgets. I would probably go for a df83v because it’s capabilities for it’s price point.

My own experience: wilfa svart to DF83V + pourover burrs. The difference is there, but it's not night and day. I've also compared to zp6 and k-ultra. I still prefer df83v for clarity, but all of them are much closer than I would've expected. Since 250 is just slightly above wilfa, I personally wouldn't even bother.

I have two - I have a Kafatek MC6 for espresso and a DF83V with SSP MP burrs for soup and filter

I have 2 grinders - a DF83V with SSP MPs and a Kafatek MC6. My Kafatek does all my espressos (from light to dark) and my 83V does all pour over. I initially used the 83V for pour over and espresso but I began to really miss texture. I don't necessarily believe in the flat vs cone debate but I really enjoy having a conical and flat burr grinder
