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.
Ive had one for a year, and like mine enough. Theres a little more work in the upkeep (frequently cleaning the chute) but it works well for a wife spectrum brew teks
Dude this is a pretty high startup cost for something you may not even enjoy the process of. Grab a Breville dual boiler and a Baratza Encore, DF64, or Lagom Casa. Upgrade your machine once you feel you've fully committed and know what you're looking for.
DF54 v3 is a solid choice. A little over budget tho. I have the DF64 and it has been a phenomenal decision.
Single dose grinder is the way to go. DF64 and get some upgraded burrs down the road.
I would say it's the best for the price.
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.
The df 64 will do both, it’s a pain in the ass to switch between grind sizes all the time though. Id honestly get a df64 and a cheaper one for regular drip coffee. I used to have a df64 for espresso and a capresso grinder for drip. It worked well. I now use my df64 for drip and a libra ap for espresso.
I’m not sure about the V60, maybe someone can advise; but the DF64 is a fantastic grinder for any espresso and is built like a tank.
