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

Let customers speak for us
from 1075 reviewsI 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!
The perfect budget grinder for a beginner. Works great!
it is nice and heavy and very quite so far it seems well build
Love this scale!! Measures everything out perfectly and accurately.
Love how spacious it is on my countertop! Nice design and does a fabulous job with espresso grinds. Very quiet as well.
Sleek & compact design. Love the space on top to store cups and such! Steam does a great job, and it heats up from being completely off very quickly! Very happy with this machine!
Great 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.
