Love this machine! Feels super well built and can’t wait to make many more drinks with it.
Great product. Love it
I recently ordered this machine after watching all of the reviews online. I put it right next to my $10,000 slayer machine, and I can honestly say to you that this machine may possibly be even better than the slayer!
Shot quality is amazing, build quality is fantastic, it's quiet and the steam is very powerful. Honestly, the app takes a little bit of adjustment to learn, but once you get comfortable with it, it's very easy to use. I wish the reservoir could be a little bit bigger, but overall, I highly recommend this machine and my experience with espresso outlet has been great. I like this so much that I would gladly trade it in for the data machine. I've become a fan of wendougee. Lastly, I agree with what people have said… The Chinese may have blown away the Italians in making machine that are high-quality.
This grinder is an incredible value. To get 83mm conical burrs for under $1k is phenomenal. The build quality is also very nice with an all metal construction. The removable shoot is easy to clean even though there is basically zero retention with this grinder. This is also a versatile grinder. I’ve been happy with shots of darker beans for milk drinks but also plenty of clarity for those lighter roasts and bringing out of the tasting notes with fruity beans. Overall this is a crazy value and I’ve been loving this grinder. 83mm burrs is where it’s at!
Great chute upgrade kit for my DF54! Easy to install and works beautifully. Everything you need is included. No problems with retention here. Highly recommend.
I use it only for espresso and it’s performed flawlessly, it throws to within, .3g 15g in 14.7out is the the greatest difference I’ve ever found generally it’s within .1 or right on. A silver colored cup would be better than the black so that you can see how much coffee is still stuck inside after after transporting into the Portafilter transferring into the Portafilter.
I would definitely recommend it to my friends:)
Love this machine! Feels super well built and can’t wait to make many more drinks with it.
the upgrade kit made a huge difference in clogging and static build up from v1. That said, I don't think people should have to pay another $30 to fix their original design flaw, especially since that grinder is over $200.
This kit takes effort to install as some of the screws are really hard to manipulate. Also, the plastic guard they provide is HORRIBLE. DO NOT INSTALL IT. JUST STICK WITH THE METAL PIECE ONLY. You can find more information on this excellent video:

Excellent update to a fine grinder design. Fit and finish , anti-static, motor refinements: all at a great price. Superb grinder for espresso: red titanium burrs are so good. Espresso outlet has great support and customer service.
