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.
I started my espresso journey in early 2024 with the purchase of a Breville Barista Pro, the newer version with Baratza burr set. First mod I did there was a single dose hopper. From there I began trying different coffees, experimenting with roast levels, etc. Towards the end of 2024 I realized I preferred lighter roasts, and from all the research I was doing learned that the integrated conical burr grinder in my BBP wasn't suited to getting the most out of the those lighter roasted options. After much thoughtful consideration and research, I settled on the DF64. And wow am I glad I did.
I feel like if I didn't upgrade to this grinder, my coffee obsession might've died. Getting this grinder unlocked a whole new world of espresso possibilities for me. More clarity, more consistency, and just overall better coffee experience.
This grinder is built like a TANK. And as a person who likes to tinker and mod, it's super easy to work on and clean.
Finally, I am beyond pleased with the buying and CS experience with EspressoOutlet. They are incredibly responsive, their prices are great, and the shipping was fast.
I've had this grinder a year and I'm now considering an upgrade to the DF83v v3, and I wouldn't consider buying it from anywhere else but EspressoOutlet!
Great product and experience.
Love the DF64 Gen2. I also have the DF54 which is also very nice.
I received my DF64 grinder and it’s a beast. It’s design and power is impressive.

from 1119 reviewsWe 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!
I have only had the machine for about 3 weeks now, but I am loving it. I am upgrading from a Bambino so that is all I can compare it to. The build quality seems extremely good. Everything feels very solid. The controls are easy to use and work smoothly. This machine is complete overkill for my needs, but it really is a joy to use if you like the "mechanical" process of making espresso. My biggest hesitation with the machine is parts support in the future, but I will deal with when it arises. If espresso outlet can offer parts support well into the future I can so so reason to spend more money for the Italian made brands.
I started having problems with my DF54 getting plugged up, and being really staticy. This kit took care of both issues. Easy to install, and so far so good!!! Thank you!!
So far, I love it. Well worth the price. I'll be buying more products from Espresso Outlet.
I LOVE MY MACHINEEEEEEEEEEEEE and i love espresso outlet <3
This grinder is everything everyone says it is. Great price for a great grinder.
Aside from pairing perfectly with Wendougee, this is one tough little scale. None of the constant h2o errors you get with Acaia Lunar if there is a drop of moisture anywhere in the kitchen, and you can no longer shut it or change functions. i have spilled boiling water on it (accidentally) and it kept on ticking like the energizer bunny. A no brainer.
So far the grinder is performing perfectly! I love it!
Amazing business, outstanding customer service!!
