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 1131 reviewsThe larger chute makes your df54 even better! Easy and quick install.
Great product. Quick, easy and speedy ordering and delivery. Highly recommend. Zero complaints. 😁
So far pretty happy with the purchase.Retention is little to none and it is a decently quiet grinder. The worm screw is difficult to use if you want to switch from espresso to a pour over. I am only using it for my espresso.
Kaleido M2 heats up fast and is ideal size for my weekly coffee consumption of 300 grams or so. The Kaleido monitor works well with a little practice to provide full functionality. I haven’t been able to use the Artisan software due to lack of appropriate laptop computer.
Great scale! Exactly what I needed
I am very pleased with this grinder! It is perfect for my needs as I learn to pull shots at home
Love it so far, but admittedly it is taking me quite a bit of time to get my recipes dialed in using a new model grinder for the first time in more than five years. Pleased that Espresso Outlet shipped the product two weeks prior to the expected delivery time frame.
Simple and seemless online ordering with no problems
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.
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!
