How does the Turin DF64 Gen 2 handle daily heavy use in a commercial setting, or is it better suited for home use?
The Turin DF64 Gen 2 is designed primarily for home use and is not recommended for daily heavy use in a commercial setting. At Espresso Outlet LLC, we specifically recommend it for home environments due to the following factors:
-
No Cooling System: The DF64 Gen 2 lacks an internal cooling system, which is essential for commercial-grade grinders that need to operate for extended periods without overheating. Continuous heavy use in a café or busy setting could cause the grinder to overheat, leading to performance issues or potential damage to the motor over time.
-
No NSF Certification: The DF64 Gen 2 does not have the NSF (National Sanitation Foundation) certification, which is a requirement by most health departments for equipment used in commercial food preparation environments. Without this certification, the grinder would not meet the necessary food safety standards for café or restaurant use.
For these reasons, the DF64 Gen 2 is best suited for home baristas who need a high-performing grinder for personal use rather than for commercial purposes.
