I have a df64v at the moment, I’m waiting on the motto80 by bookoo to get in people hands and see some reviews but if its as good as the specs it’s a no brainer.
Df64v gen 3 is probably one of the best options under $1000 at the moment it’s only $500-550. If my budget was higher and I were to spend over $1000, the lagon P80 and Zerno’s would be the only others to consider.
-80mm blind burrs that should be easy to swap
- Cost $800 less than any big name 80mm grinder out there
-Much smaller than a lot of other grinders if the same caliber
I had the same wish, went for a Pietro with Pro Brew Burrs and wanted something that did not cause that much pain in the workflow. I got a DF64V Gen2 and SSP Burrs. This setup is a bit messy, workflow is okayish (annoying dancing last bean in the DF64V). But for the price i am happy. Sometimes I wish my Niche workflow would be back.
I’d ask what kind of espresso you want! Flat burrs tend to be more clarity esp for light roasts. Conical burrs are best for darker roasts and creamy thick shots.
Niche and DC63(budget choice) are great conical. I have the DF64v3 with SSP burrs. It’s great.
I've not long bought a Sage Dual Boiler, paired with a DF64V and it's absolutely brilliant. For me the main selling point was the heat up time which is around 10 mins from cold to the group and portafilter fully heated. If you're in a rush then it's about 6 mins to get a warm group, hot water and steam. Had the grinder 2 years and the DB around a month, no regrets so far.

Great value for espresso, but clogs and poor for pour-over.
