Very prone to stalling even on medium grind range settings.
I wanted a small footprint single-dose grinder with solid engineering and whisper quiet operation - that’s exactly what I got with the Turin DF64V Gen 3 grinder. This is a beautiful addition to my other kitchen appliances, and after only a few weeks and less than 2 lbs of beans to season the burrs, I’m already more than satisfied with the quality of the grind and the espresso shots I’ve been producing. I expect that the grind quality will continue to improve as I run more beans through it and properly season the burrs, but I have no complaints with what I’m getting during the break-in period. I especially appreciate that this grinder was designed to be easily disassembled for cleaning and maintenance. I also found that the active ionizer/plasma generator performs so well that I no longer need to use the RDT method to reduce static. I look forward to many years of use with this highly recommended grinder!
I'm very satisfied with the service from Espresso Outlet.
I've only had my DF64V for a few weeks, having run about a pound and a half of beans through it. I didn't break the burrs in with a few kilos of cheap coffee as, I'd rather endure the break-in than waste the hard work of the pickers.
So with the combination of some burr break-in and getting to know my beans, I'm pulling some great shots.
I can't speak to random comments about stalling, as I consider that to be misuse of the grinder (i.e. light roasted beans, ground at 800 rpm for espresso).
I've been grinding medium light beans at 1200 rpm and my shots are coming out predictably.
Noise was a concern, as it's difficult to get a handle on noise from the YouTube reviews, but I'd call it minimal, but high-pitched (when grinding). When not grinding, I have to feel the case for subtle vibrations to tell if it's on.
I find the bellows to be useful, unlike most YouTube reviewers. I'm not sure how much the ionizer works, but with with a couple of RDT sprays, I'm consistently getting from 17.9 to 18.0 g out when loading 18.0 g.
I love the magnetic chute. This is a brilliant idea!
Love everything about it but the plasma anti-static stays on so I have to unplug daily (I understand I can open up the machine and easily fix but have not done so yet and really should not have to on a new machine). But it grinds great and looks great. The cup does not fit too well so it does not look straight which bugs me a bit.

Let customers speak for us
from 1280 reviewsGrinder works great, chews thru the beans and no popcorning. Espresso Outlet was fast, efficient and communicative. I installed Lab Sweet V2 burrs and never looked back. I run espresso and drip daily and never have a hard time dialing in. All the best to Espresso Outlet and keep up the good work.
Had an issue with slow shipping and a damaged first delivery. Quick resolution via email, and US based support. Also receieved a free upgrade to red burrs for the trouble. Satisfied, and would definitely use them again.
Great kit! My grinder is better than ever!
This is an amazing grinder. Small, quiet, single serve and clean (doesn't make a mess with grinds on counter). An amazing value, very heavy duty. Bellows gets rid of lagging grinds.
Espresso Outlet has great products that you can trust. And at a very fair price!
I purchased a Turin R Gallatin, and from the very beginning, the experience was outstanding. Unfortunately, UPS damaged my machine during shipping. I want to be very clear that this was not Espresso Outlet’s fault in any way. Shipping damage can happen, and what truly matters is how a company responds when it does.
Joe and Barrett went far beyond anything I expected. Instead of making me jump through hoops or wait around, they immediately took ownership of helping me. Joe personally drove my replacement machine to the UPS terminal in less than 24 hours to get it moving as quickly as possible, and Espresso Outlet even paid to expedite the shipment at their own expense. That level of customer service is almost unheard of today.
As for the Turin R Gallatin, I couldn’t be happier. The build quality is exceptional, and it feels like a machine that belongs in a commercial café while still fitting beautifully into a home coffee bar. The rotary pump is whisper quiet, the E61 group head provides excellent temperature stability, the PID temperature control gives precise brewing control, and the flow control opens the door to experimenting with different coffees and extraction styles. The machine consistently produces rich, syrupy shots with beautiful caramel-colored crema and outstanding flavor. It truly punches way above its price point and delivers features and performance that you’d expect from machines costing considerably more.
If you’re looking for a company that stands behind what they sell, responds when things don’t go as planned, and genuinely cares about their customers, buy from Espresso Outlet with confidence. The Turin R Gallatin is an outstanding machine, and Espresso Outlet has earned my business for years to come.
Thank you, Joe, Barrett, and the entire Espresso Outlet team. You’ve earned a customer for life
Great unit! The Gallatine DB is solid. Very heavy duty, the housing is well constructed with thick metal and a very high quality finish. Everyone that sees it is amazed. Makes awesome espresso, but needs a very fine grind and some serious tamping. I have my old Rocky Grinder set at 1 and I'm finally getting good results. I've been happily using my Rancillo Silvia for the last 20 years, but so super excited to move up to a double boiler. Will never go back. Well worth the extra cost for the double boiler. The machine is an excellent value.
Fresh and Delicious. Thank you!
Just a great grinder that works as advertised!
Very good service and supports…which is what you might need and I needed, they helped me with the DF64 grinder issue asap.
This is an excellent product. Well made and functions beautifully!
The grinder has lived up to expectations. It is easy to use and has been great upgrade from my previous grinder for producing consistent espresso.
Really appreciate the customer service from Espresso Outlet as they proactively refunded, then shipped out the upgraded titanium burrs for this order that were backordered. Would definitely recommend purchasing from them.
Super fast shipping. Absolutely no static with this grinder while doing fine grind espresso shots. Does very well with coarse grinds as well with no mess. Retention is crazy good, out of 30 grinds so far what I have put in is exactly what I have got back. Do not hesitate on this one. Now I need the C83 for testing!
There does't seem to be any comparable machine at this time and this price point from a U.S. distributor. The features that I have found useful are:
- The ability to create and store pressure profiles.
- The ability to integrate with a Bookoo scale.
- The ability to run the software on an iPad.
- The ability to run on a standard 15 amp circuit.
This seems like a solid well built machine and I find it more enjoyable to use than a traditional traditional machine with a flow paddle.
I really like this grinder. I purchased it mainly for the grind by weight feature. Despite it being "all purpose," it has some fantastic reviews, so I took a chance. It's too slow to change settings to quickly go between drip and espresso, but for me that's fine. This is a dedicated espresso grinder. I also love the simplicity. There's not a lot to fiddle with. The build is fantastic and it looks great on the counter. The only issue I've had is fitting bottomless portafilters. I finally figured out the balance, but it doesn't seem as simple as it is with spouted portafilters. All in all, very satisfied. I plan on keeping this for years to come.
