I have v2 apparently, less than a year old. I clean the chute before and after each use. Grinder still clogs once a week, every 10 uses or so. Gigantic mess, every time. Yes I use RDT and no I'm not using oily beans. Given that this is an obvious design problem, why make me pay for the retrofit kit? And why think I have the time or inclination to fix Turin's mistakes? That's on Turin and Espresso Outlet for selling Turin's defective products. They should own up and replace defective models.
This is a nice grinder for the price. I use it with my Breville Bambino.
I like the quietness of the grinder as well as it's aesthetic. Dialing for espresso, has been easy. I grind both medium roast and dark roast. The antic-clamper is not great But I found my way to deal with it. Regular cleaning is a must.
DF54, to match up with my Mara X
What can I say that hasn't been said before, just a real good coffee grinder (so far) I've only had this grinder for a few weeks, bough latest version v3 with the red titanium burrs ($235.00 and after tax $255.00 U.S.) I move from a Eureka Facile grinder which has served me well since 2021.
What like about the DF 54 is how easy it is to get at the burrs and to clean it, much easier than the Eureka.
It not very noisy, small foot print, does not jump around when grinding only thing that was a little annoying was the bellows fit to grinder, the lid fits tight so when you try to take it of the bellows comes off with it, not a deal breaker but can be annoying when making several drinks
Overall I would give it a -A, I think that for around 85 to 90% of the people making home espresso this would be a great grinder for them :)
Great little grinder.

from 734 reviewsThis grinder is an incredible value. To get 83mm conical burrs for under $1k is phenomenal. The build quality is also very nice with an all metal construction. The removable shoot is easy to clean even though there is basically zero retention with this grinder. This is also a versatile grinder. I’ve been happy with shots of darker beans for milk drinks but also plenty of clarity for those lighter roasts and bringing out of the tasting notes with fruity beans. Overall this is a crazy value and I’ve been loving this grinder. 83mm burrs is where it’s at!
Very simple installation and works great!
Great chute upgrade kit for my DF54! Easy to install and works beautifully. Everything you need is included. No problems with retention here. Highly recommend.
Precise scale does exactly what it says it does.
Great grinder!! Upgraded from a Tuni G1 and am not lookibg back. Was real easy to dial in my beans after adjusting the zero.
Bought the Turin legato v2 great machine had some issues due to user error and they were extremely helpful with getting it fixed even offered for me to send in the machine sk they can fix it
I bought the df54 a couple years ago and didn't have many issues with it but last month it completely clogged and the static was terrible. I saw this upgrade and was shocked to see that it was sent free of charge after entering my original order number. The package arrived quickly and the installation was a breeze when following the video on this page. I'm a very happy customer!
The new probe design seems to work well after a few weeks of daily use. Big difference in static, haven't had to clean nearly as often. Install was easy, video is clear. Very happy with this purchase.
I’ve had this machine for a little more than a month now which I upgraded from a Breville barista express and the difference is astounding. The Gallatin is great looking and preforming machine with excellent fit and finish. I appreciate the little touches like the folding handle on the reservoir lid. The rotary pump is quiet and the temperature on both boilers is very stable. Flow control paddle is easy to use and has helped me save some shots when dialing in for a new coffee bean. Even comes with a good quality tamper. A great value for the money and features. I’ve enjoyed learning to use this machine and the great espresso and cappuccino I’ve been able to make with. Would recommend for anyone thinking about purchasing.
This needs some directions. It will not fit over the upper lip. This lip needs to be removed and is just pushed on. I can simply be levered off(not screwed on).
This was an easy upgrade because I had taken these parts apart numerous times to unclog my grinder. I also replaced the plastic catch bucket with a portafilter holder and noted that the collection of "dust" on the outside disappeared.
my df54 is no longer clumping. Well worth it
If you were ever hesitating in buying this then stop now and just do it! I was looking at the Lelit Bianca, ECM, and Profitec equivalents and this unit sweeps them all under the rug bc of the price for value! Will update after 3 months.
