First off, let me start by saying Espresso Outlet's customer service is top notch! My first order arrived, and the grinder stopped working on day 5. I contacted EO and they immediately arranged for me to return it (still had the box) and then shipped me out a new grinder as soon as they got confirmation of it being shipped. A+ Got the new grinder and it's been smooth sailing since. Also, I think the first grinder I received must have been the last from a slightly older lot, because the new one had some very slight differences, like the chute you feed beans into was detachable on the first one, but not on the second.
But on to the grinder review. I upgraded from a Baratza Sette 270wi, and let me just say, there is no comparison. I have the stock espresso burrs on the DF83V, but man are they great. Maybe someday I'll look at fiddling with burrs, but for now I'm really enjoying these. There is so much more nuance to the coffee flavor, it's like I'm discovering great home espresso all over again. This thing is a beast, too. Heavy, feels rock solid, and QUIET. My husband doesn't share my love of coffee. He has always complained about the noise my grinders make in the morning. Two days after using this one, he tells me "I like your new grinder." Me: "You do? Why?" Him: "It's quiet. I can sleep through it in the morning." So take that for what you will.
I also had the chance to use a CF64V prior to this one (a friend's), and while that one also had great clarity and nuance of flavor, clean up with the DF83V is world's easier. I would absolutely recommend this grinder. I think it very likely compares favorably with much more expensive grinders in its grinder class.
perfect
made in china..
This is such a great single dose grinder, especially at this price range. Having variable rpm control can really alter the taste of espresso and gives you extra control. It’s well designed and pairs nicely with a wendougee data s. I can’t think of a better option at this pricepoint.
I have used it for two weeks. Espresso stock burrs work great. The machine is steady and really quiet. I am happy with it so far.
Best value under $1k for a high quality grinder

from 1279 reviewsExcellent shipping and the product was just as described. It took my espresso to the next level!
I started working with Barret on a problem I was having on my son's M6 that we bought from someone else not knowing Expresso Outlet was the sole US Distributor. Barret got him back up and running so I bought a M10 for myself through Expresso Outlet. The unit showed up well boxed and padded. Came with alot of extras. Wired it up and it runs flawlessly. Many Thanks again to Barret for all the email responses we had over the last few months.
Great roaster, still getting the hang of it. Bew into roaster but was able to make some good coffee. Really excited on continuing to learn how to use it more!
Had my grinder for almost 3 years and the button stopped working. Sent in an inquiry. No question asked and received a new button in a week.
Great roaster, it helped me step up my batch incredibly. Still fast, able to pump out 1lb easily. Learning curve as to be expected but I would suggest this brand to others.
Fantastic roaster. Upgraded from a m1 also have a 3e hot air roaster. Learning curve is steep but will worth jt if you stick wirh it
Worked great, fixed my problem and they shipped it out quickly at no cost. Much appreciated when a company doesn't leave their customers hanging. Much appreciated!
Joe and Barrett are amazing at customer service. It is what gives me the confidence to buy their products.
Great customer service! Joe was very patient and helpful when I had challenges with my setup. Satisfied customer. Thank you!
Received what I ordered when and as expected.
I love the DF64. Vast improvement over my burr grinder. Almost 0 retention. Some reviews noted it is loud. Perhaps, but I find it less annoying than my burr grinder. It is also much faster. I would recommend to others thinking about a disk grinder.
Amazing product
This machine is built well, performs its function with ease and the static problem is a bit overstated in reviews it's really not that significant for me with light beans.
