★★★★★Beverly BGreat Service! It has been a few months since I purchased my machine, but I absolutely love it. Initially I had some issues with damage from shipping, but Joe took care of it immediately so there were no problems. He also stayed on the phone with me for a long time the day I received my machine so I could get everything working properly. I highly recommend!
★★★★★Michael PrzeslawskiEspresso Outlet was friendly and had a very good price. I did not expect delivery before Christmas, however the Alexia arrived on Christmas eve.This is a high quality machine. I emailed a couple of questions to the owners, and my questions were answered within a few hours.They seem like nice people, with good service and high quality espresso machines.
★★★★★Maggie SayerJoe’s patience and knowledge made the decision making process for my first espresso maker so much easier. He’s quick to respond and super helpful. Pricing is competitive and shipping is quick. I won’t buy from anywhere else. Up next, the grinder!
★★★★★Jonathan BWe bought a Mini Vivaldi from them a little over a year ago and its still running professionally like a champ in our little cafe. They had the lowest price and it arrived quickly in perfect condition. And shipping was FREE!
★★★★★Craftsman CEspresso Outlet and Joe are absolutely fantastic. The service and value they provide will exceed your expectations. I am glad to have come across this family operated business that is honest and completely dependable.

★★★★★Catelin MagelExcellent service, efficient and very helpful in choosing the right machine, as well as the right grinder for my needs. Joe was there every step of the way, and I know I can contact them with any questions after the purchase as well! Excellence at it's best!
★★★★★Keith CJoe was super patient and helpful when I finally decided to make a purchase. He took the time to work within my budget and recommend a machine that I'm thrilled with.
★★★★★Alan DGreat customer service! Joe worked with me from purchasing a grinder to ultimately returning and changing to a different grinder. It’s a tough decision buying without seeing or using and the fact that a business is willing to work with their customers goes a long way with me. I would definitely recommend Joe and EspressoOutlet.
My espresso is much nearer to perfection.
My reference point is a modified Mazzer Major grinder, which I have owned and used for many years. It has 83MM burrs, a huge motor, and is quite large and heavy. It does a terrific job and I’m certainly not going to replace it, is I have of room for it. I recently bought the CF64V due to its size and price. It will travel with us four times each year to Florida in a tote box along with a Turin Legato V2, so we can enjoy good espresso drinks in a small Florida town that doesn’t have a decent café. We are there for 7 to 10 days on a revisit and I can justify this purchase just on cost savings alone, not to mention convenience.
I’ve only used this a few times to test it and make sure that I haven’t dialed in correctly for our Florida trip a few weeks from now, but everything about it really impressed me. It has terrific build quality, for my personal aesthetic taste it has a much more interesting visual appearance than the previous cylindrical slanted Turin models, and it’s very quiet. The default settings for the RPMs and the grind coarseness were pretty much dead on out-of-the-box for the average user. I tend toward restrainer shots and I will probably find myself dialing the espresso coarseness setting down to 22 or 23 instead of 25. At roughly 1/3 the size of the Mazzer Major, and at a price that is two thirds less – this is a bargain!
Other than being a bit fiddly with purging the steam wand it has been as expected, fantastic! Espresso outlet has been helpful as well. Thanks
I recently upgraded my coffee setup from a basic Mr. Coffee and pre-ground beans to a Moccamaster and a Breville espresso machine. Initially, I used a budget hand grinder, which worked for pour-over but fell short for espresso. After extensive research on Facebook groups and YouTube reviews, I chose the DF54 grinder for its ability to handle both espresso and coarser grinds effectively.
Overall, I’m very pleased with the DF54. It delivers consistent grind sizes—comparable to high-quality pre-ground coffee—and is quieter, more compact, and better-looking than other grinders in its price range. Its solid, heavy build feels durable, and the lack of complex technology reduces the risk of breakdowns. At this price point, it’s an excellent value.
My only issue is static. Despite the built-in plasma generator (ionizer), static persists regardless of cleaning (using the included brush or a bulb blower), bean type (dark or medium roast, oily or not), or techniques like RDT. For example, this morning I ground 70 grams of medium-roast beans coarsely with RDT and had minimal static, but grinding 18 grams of dark-roast beans for espresso shortly after was messy due to static. I always hot-start and adjust the grind while running, but I didn’t season the grinder extensively, letting it season naturally.
Despite the static, I highly recommend the DF54 for anyone seeking a versatile grinder under $300 that excels for both espresso and other brew methods. I plan to try a metal dosing cup to address the static, though my all-metal hand grinder also has static issues, so I’m skeptical it will help much.
I love this grinder. It has a beautiful form factor but even more importantly it grinds beautifully. With my old grinder making espresso was a bit of a chore. Using the DF54 it’s a pleasure. I read a review that said it works as well as grinders costing four times as much and I believe it!
The grinder is nice, everything works well, I even added the SSP burrs. Delivery took 4 days from order placement which was no time at all!
Bought for a gift. They have not been given it yet.
This grinder made it so much easier to dial in for my espresso shots! The only weird thing about it is I feel like when I touch it there is some bizarre electrical “force” I can feel.
Plasma generator fails, clogs immediately after deep cleaning. Recurring issue.
