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 936 reviewsAs a beginner, I was wanting a grinder that will stop my itch from constant upgrades until I purchase my end game set up. What I need right now is something to practice with and this was perfect. Dialing my espresso with DF54 has been a delight. I feel like I’m getting the most out of my bean's flavors. It’s sturdy, easy to clean, straightforward. There was some frustration with queueing up for the preorder but it was worth it. I’m glad i’m not telling myself, “I wish I got that other grinder.”. I will be using this for a long time until I get my La Marzocco. For the meantime, I’m happy to pair it with my Breville Bambino Plus.

Great grinder really happy wit it.

Elegant looking kettle that maintains temperature well. A little slow to get to brew temp compared to my old electric non-pour over kettle, but overall is good performer.

Fast shipping and great grinder!

Fast. and easy experience shopping with Espresso Outlet.
Replied quickly and helpfully to a question I had on a product
I had a pretty important question in regards to my new machine and using the Artisan program. Barrett Ellis was super prompt in responding with everything I needed to take care of my issue. He also welcomed me to the Kaleido club. Couldn’t be happier!
The people at Espresso Outlet are exceptional. They are kind, knowledgeable and always willing to help. I have a Turin Legato V2 and an SK40 and could not be more pleased. I also have a small coffee business and will definitely use them for my commercial equipment next time purchasing is revisited. Thanks Joe K!
Very pleased. Suprised how much quieter it operates than old kitchen aid and is much better for espresso

Superb, responsive service. Wish all online vendors were like this!
I thought I was just buying a simple grinder but it does so much more. The ability to adjust the grind size is amazing and then the removable bottom with the inner stopper makes putting the grounds into my portfilter so easy! I thought I was going to have to scoop them out and that would have been so much messier.

I asked about a product via email and reply was very prompt and informative.
