We love this grinder! We were usind another grinder we bought off Amazon - very inexpensive but got the job done.However, it was hard to scoop the grinds out and properly measure. We love the ease and convenience and options to change the grind size per. Highly recommend.
Came from a Breville Smart Grinder Pro to my first flat burr grinder. I can immediately tell the difference in my pour overs. They taste sweeter and I can tell different notes. Espressos seem richer and seemingly more syrupy. However, the grind settings drifted a bit at the first few brews. Had muddy pour overs. Could be because of the break-in period. I did season over 2 lbs of Kirkland Organic Peru before my first brew. Didn’t want to waste my “good” coffee in the process. I don’t know if I need to align my burrs or not. I hear chirping when switching settings. But, I could’ve messed up the alignment by taking the top off to see if they installed my red titanium burrs and not paying attention and being a rookie and just putting it back without knowing which position it was in. I got this to learn flat burrs and maybe upgrade to SSPs later in life.
Used df 54 for 2 years with no problems until cleaning it i deformed the plastic declumper putting a brush to far in discharge shoot. It clogged up and was useless. Bought the metal declumper and still clogged up. Then I seen video on youtube about upgrade kit front espresso outlet. I installed upgrade kit and have had no issues even with grinding oily roasted beans. Thx guys for solving my clogging issues. Very satisfied.
Have been very much enjoying the DF64 Gen 2.5! Easy to order and came on time from Espresso Outlet!
Phenomenal machine. Completely blown away with this upgrade (from Breville Barista Pro). I can achieve better than cafe now☕️

Wonderful upgrade! Couldn’t be happier!
I LOVE MY MACHINEEEEEEEEEEEEE and i love espresso outlet <3
Great product… stainless steel interior
Looks like a great quality
Super easy to operate
I don't think you could possibly find a single dose stepless espresso grinder built as well as this one for this price. It's heavy! Relatively quiet with little retention thanks to the bellows. I use a 54 mm portafilter, so I bought a dosing cup that size to make it easier. Happens to fit right inside the provided 58 mm, so perfect for grinding, then I just lift it out and pop it onto my portafilter.
It took me a long time to find a stepless grinder of this quality, thanks to the Espresso Outlet's YouTube video. Until I found it, I was almost going to spend a ridiculous amount of money on the niche zero. Thank goodness I didn't because this grinder is just as good for so much less.
Great service and quick shipping.
