The burr is nice and sharp. The adjustability is good. However it jams if its not a hot atart and it gave trouble turinong off at first. It tends to be messy as there is not a good captur method for the coffee grinds.
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.
Amazing grinder. Couldn't be happier with it. Shipped fast.

from 1197 reviewsI’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.
Excellent knowledgeable staff, fast shipping, and great customer support.
Once again, Espresso Outlet’s customer support has come through with my requested help with complementing my previous purchase a few years ago of their Alex Duetto to that of their offering of their Wendougee offerings
My 10 year old refurbished Baratza Vario has been struggling. Not to mention anytime I made a drink for someone everyone in the room had to wait until I was finished grinding to resume conversation. This new Eureka is unbelievable quiet. I also think the espresso tastes better. There is a difference between ceramic and steel burrs.
I love this machine! The espresso experience compared to my old machine is night and day kind of difference. I have been wasting high quality beans in my old machine and I didnt even know. The end product is that much better! The features this machine has for the price is unmatched!
Espresso Outlet had the upgrade for my grinder that I was looking for. The right price and quick shipping.
Super fast heat up, consistent shots once you dial it in. Steam leaves something to be desired but still does the trick.
Been using it for a few months. Having good results with expresso and courser grind for drip coffee.
The frequency of clogging was intolerable. This upgrade kit reduced the retention to .1 grams or less with each 18 grams of beans ground.
