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 1069 reviewsGreat service and shipping. Love the personal touch of the note in the box! Such a good product and company.
I just wish the box wasn’t have the information what it’s inside “Because it was a gift for my husband” Now he knows BUT he is happy
Great machine with stylish looks. Gives you total control of dialing in your coffee. Looks great on the counter and makes the perfect cup. Excellent for home use and could also stand its ground in light commercial environment. Would love it even more if it had a double boiler.
I’m honestly beyond belief — this is one of the best pieces of gear I’ve ever received. I’ve dreamed of owning a machine like this for years, and it was worth every ounce of the wait.
What makes it stand out? It’s a professional-grade system that somehow hits an incredible budget point without compromising on features. The E61 group head is a timeless classic, and the heat-up time is shockingly fast — especially for a boiler setup.
You’ve got flow control, PID control, and the ability to pull espresso and steam milk simultaneously. It checks every box I’ve been chasing. The build quality is phenomenal, and the pump is whisper-quiet — seriously impressive.
I own a lot of gear, and this machine still managed to blow past my expectations. That says a lot.
Great delivery and grinder
I purchased the Turin Legato V2 two weeks ago and I have been blown away! As compared to my previous machine, Breville Barista Express, it is night and day! So much more control and precision. I knew the coffee would taste great and that the shots would be easy to dial in, but an unexpected surprise was how powerful the steam wand is. Even though it's a single boiler machine, there is virtually no wait time between pulling a shot and using the steam wand. Super simple. The design is also a huge plus. It just looks great on the counter with a nice space for warming cups on top. Big fan and so happy with the purchase!
Great little coffee scale. Everything works perfect. Order delivery was very quick as well.
Works amazing. Make the best coffee with the beans grinded from the budget friendly (relative to the competition) and really can’t complain
Maybe it’s luck, but this grinder dialed in on my first shot. I bought this as a secondary grinder to my Mignon Zero 55. I decided to use this grinder as my decaf grinder. I set the grinder at 1.5 and it pulled so well I don’t even need to adjust. I do a 1:2.5 ratio on my decaf in 30 seconds and that’s what I got with this grinder. Very little retention near zero on first shot. Build is solid and the only thing that’s an adjustment for me is the small hole to pour the coffee into for the single does compared to the Mignon zero.
This is my first espresso capable grinder. Works great for my purposes. It’s combined with a Gaggia Classic Pro E24
Very happy with the grinder and the service from Espresso Outlet. I am new to this, and they have been great at answering my questions, often within a couple hours. Thanks!!
When I started my espresso journey, I had an all in one Breville. Hated the grinder. Eventually I bought a DF54 from Espresso Outlet and absolutely loved that machine. I can't recommend it highly enough. I can't help it, I love to tweak my setup and upgrade when I can. I recently upgraded to the DF64, and man, what a machine. I love it! Eventually, I'll probably start playing with burr sets, but I am so thrilled with this grinder! It's fast, relatively quiet (relatively folks, it's a grinder), and just so consistent. It's easy to clean, has virtually no retention and looks great on my counter. I absolutely would recommend this machine to anyone!
This is a great grinder, easy to use and works great
Amazing prosumer e61 machine with all the critical features you need to make the best espresso
