I was lucky enough to snag a batch 2 DF54 and I got it about a month after ordering. This thing really makes good espresso possible. I was using a Timemore C3 before and couldn't get a good shot. This really changes the game. The burrs came perfectly aligned. The stepless adjustment is great. I wish this grinder hadn't tried to be a filter grinder too, because the range for espresso isn't huge. Stepless helps a lot though in that regard. No mechanical issues. Very solid grinder with good build quality that should last for years to come. This is a necessity if you are on a budget but still want to make espresso, it's the best grinder in the price range.
It’s built solid and grinds very good.
Grinder works great so far. Have only had for about two weeks though, so we’ll see what long-term provides.
Just received this grinder and using it is terrible. The grinds get stuck in the chute and everywhere. My husband already took it apart to clean it and it clogged up again. Will be returning it as it is completely unusable.
I’ve had it about a year. The amount of grounds that get everywhere from static is high. It also gets clogged relatively often and you need to take it apart and clean it. I’m probably not taking advantage of the small grind size it can achieve but I wish I had gotten something that didn’t require so much maintenance.
Hi Tom,
Did you order from us? We can't seem to find your order or any correspondence. It sounds like you may need a new declumper. If you did order from us, reach out and we'll send you a new one and work to get your grinder running great again. A can of compressed air will save you a lot of frustration as the chute has an area at the top the brush can't reach. Give it a blast inside the chute every so often and it will keep it running smooth.
Thanks
