Grinder works great; it's super quiet and easy to use
Got an open box machine and unfortunately it had a glitch with the temp sensor. BUT the customer service is amazing, they honored their warranty and was abke to fix the issue - now just waiting to get it back! Super excited and machine made yummy coffee before the break
I hoped the DF83V upsides would justify the price. After replacing the burrs with the SSP HU burrs, I did a side by side comparison with my 10 yr old Rancilio Rocky. Mind you, I have not “broken in” the burrs completely yet. Here’s my take-away about the Turin:
1. By far, much quieter than the Rocky
2. Grinds 18 grams in about 4 seconds, Rocky-16 seconds
3. Provided a little more balanced flavor in a shot but I don’t have a refined palette.
4. My scale shows .1-.3 grams less sometimes than pre-grind. I’ve opened it up but there’s practically nothing in the chamber. Could be my scale?
5. Super easy to disassemble, clean and zero.
I wanted a single doser with little retention and I got more out of the purchase than I expected.
This grinder was recommended to me because it’s size and it’s quieter. I don’t like the loud noise in the morning. The bellows pushes out the excess grinds so there’s not as much retention. It’s a nice feature. It does a great job.
Coming from BBE this is a big upgrade, faster and more convenient to use. My gripes with this machine is the water tank does not line up with the rest of the body well and the drip tray grate doesn't look nice. Both cosmetic issues that do not affect performance.
