First off, let me start by saying Espresso Outlet's customer service is top notch! My first order arrived, and the grinder stopped working on day 5. I contacted EO and they immediately arranged for me to return it (still had the box) and then shipped me out a new grinder as soon as they got confirmation of it being shipped. A+ Got the new grinder and it's been smooth sailing since. Also, I think the first grinder I received must have been the last from a slightly older lot, because the new one had some very slight differences, like the chute you feed beans into was detachable on the first one, but not on the second.
But on to the grinder review. I upgraded from a Baratza Sette 270wi, and let me just say, there is no comparison. I have the stock espresso burrs on the DF83V, but man are they great. Maybe someday I'll look at fiddling with burrs, but for now I'm really enjoying these. There is so much more nuance to the coffee flavor, it's like I'm discovering great home espresso all over again. This thing is a beast, too. Heavy, feels rock solid, and QUIET. My husband doesn't share my love of coffee. He has always complained about the noise my grinders make in the morning. Two days after using this one, he tells me "I like your new grinder." Me: "You do? Why?" Him: "It's quiet. I can sleep through it in the morning." So take that for what you will.
I also had the chance to use a CF64V prior to this one (a friend's), and while that one also had great clarity and nuance of flavor, clean up with the DF83V is world's easier. I would absolutely recommend this grinder. I think it very likely compares favorably with much more expensive grinders in its grinder class.
perfect
made in china..
This is such a great single dose grinder, especially at this price range. Having variable rpm control can really alter the taste of espresso and gives you extra control. It’s well designed and pairs nicely with a wendougee data s. I can’t think of a better option at this pricepoint.
I have used it for two weeks. Espresso stock burrs work great. The machine is steady and really quiet. I am happy with it so far.
Best value under $1k for a high quality grinder

from 1240 reviewsWow am I impressed with this grinder. Tremendous machine for the price. I upgraded over what I had and this is a massive improvement. Nicely done Turin. Quality product and highly recommended.
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.
Great product. Love it
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.
Built like a tank. Looks to have been built by the Soviet space program to withstand a missile. I've had it for a week and the steaming performance really stands out. For pure espresso, I find it a little finicky, but slowly dialing it in.
It's been great. Haven't had any issues with it.
Always Hype when someone has something to sell - that makes me very hesitant to buy anything over the net. BUT - So far (2 weeks) all works much better than I thought it might. I followed directions exactly - now have it set on "50" and get great coffee over my old Breville grinder. Wife won't let me give it away yet tho!!!
Beautiful piece of machinery. Works like a charm and lends a beautiful aesthetic to the whole room.
Love this grinder. Really easy to use and amazing quality.
Super awesome home espresso grinder! Small footprint, beautiful design, heavy duty, grinds a perfect shot, fairly priced. Highly recommend!
Nice heavyweight grinder. Small footprint and attractive. Still learning grind sizes.
Easy to install and good quality. Big improvement
Grinder is easy to dial in for espresso. Also was able to swap to grind size for pour over and drip easily. Adjusted back to espresso setting and pulled a shot with no issues. Have been using it as single doser but timer works and is easily programmable.
