I am a few weeks into using the DF64 Gen 2.3 and I am really happy with it. I am around 2 years into my espresso hobby journey, so I am knowledgable but not an obsessive hobbyist. The negative on this grinder so far is two items. First the noise - it is loud. Second, my espresso machine requires a 3 ear portafilter and from what I can tell the rest on the grinder doesnt accept the front ear which means I have to use the included dosing cup. There is a rubber piece where the front ear might go, but when i tried to remove it I found it was glued down. The positives are the build quality, the quality of the grind, the grinder itself is very functional. Even though its loud, when I grind 18g of coffee between grind size 10-15 it takes around 8 seconds, which is significantly faster than my previous conical burr grinders. I am overall stoked with the purchase - at this price its great quality if you are looking to upgrade from your first grinder or looking for a starter espresso grinder. (Note - I have only used this for espresso so far - no pour overs etc.)
