I have used the grinder daily for a couple of weeks. It does a great job. It feels solid and built to last. It operates quietly and efficiently with minimal retention. I am very happy with it. The salesperson was very helpful. The unit was delivered on time and arrived in perfect order.

This grinder has taken my espresso to a whole new level. Very precise, and really quiet. I’m very happy with my purchase!

Im absolutely amazed at the quality of my new DF grinder, this is an amazing part of my espresso setup and does the job well. Fast efficient grinding and not too noisy.
Build quality is stellar, it’s a bit heavy but just enough to let you know this is a well made product. I’ve had this for a week now and pulled so many great shots thanks to its grinding consistency. I’ve had no issues with this machine after a week, every part and function has delivered (no issues with bellow falling off, grinds never spill out, always consistent grind size)

If you’re a newbie getting into making your own espresso, or even a seasoned veteran, this machine will get the job done.

I can’t believe I held off on this purchase for so long. Such an upgrade from my ceramic hand grinder. I love the adjustable dial and how quiet it is. I can also easily grind 30g at a time no problem, despite what it says in the specs. She’s perfect and I love her <3

Has transformed my espresso. Going from pre-ground coffee to this has made a night and day difference in the quality of my coffee. The machine is great value and is a very cute compact size which looks great on my counter.

Great experience working with DFgrinders and very happy with my DF54 grinder product!

I previously used a Cuisinart ceramic burr grinder to grind whole beans for my Breville Duo-Temp Pro machine. I thought the results I was achieving were good considering the relatively low cost of my equipment. Then I watched a James Hoffmann video about the big brother to this grinder - the DF64 - and I decided to splurge on a new grinder. The improvement in espresso quality and flavour is ASTRONOMICAL - far beyond what I expected it could be. When I ordered my DF54 I wondered whether it could possibly be worth the seemingly high prices, and now I wish I had bought one a LONG time ago.
If you are unsure whether this grinder is worth the cost, IT IS! The grind quality is consistent and uniform and resulted in an immediate improvement in expression and crema formation with the exact same coffee. I taste flavours that were absent with my previous grinder, and as a minor added bonus, the puck pops out with very little effort now (I used to have to bang the filter 4-5 times quite hard to release the puck, and it was always a little sloppy).
I am not saying that this is the best grinder at any price point, but it IS an excellent grinder at a reasonable price. It has significantly improved the quality of my home espresso, elevating it to being equal to most decent coffee shops.

I just started making espresso with the Breville Bambino Plus. I was using my blender to grind the beans, which worked, but as you can imagine was pretty terrible. The DF54 yields perfect coffee grounds every time and I was finally able to get the “honey” colour and consistency of espresso coming from the Bambino, given the grinder lets you make changes to how granular you want the resulting coffee grounds to be. I’ve been using this for 2 months now and it’s still running perfectly. Highly recommended!!

Easy to use. Not much cleaning or maintenance required. Solid build, at a very reasonable price. Great grinder for espresso! Highly recommended!

This is my first real coffee grinder and it was a game changer for my espresso. Consistent perfect grind every time makes for excellent espresso. It’s quiet, easy to use, grinds fairly quickly and no waste. I highly recommend this.

I am switching from a good espresso hand grinder. Totally happy, after one week.

I'm still getting fairly consistent shots on a Flair 58 with the high flow basket. The catch cup works well with that portafilter: using the DF54 has been a more pleasant workflow than emptying from the hand grinder (and faster).
Reasonably quiet grinding, and the noise isn't really unpleasant.

I haven't done a more thorough cleaning yet, but have been giving the outlet a quick brushing every day with the provided brush. That has at least been enough to keep the anti static setup working well enough, even in a very dry environment.

Fast and amazing grind - really brings out the flavour of the beans! Very happy with the purchase

Finally found the right grinding for the new La Pavoni!

First grinder for my first espresso machine, adjusting grind size and cleaning is super easy!

This is the first serious grinder I've ever bought. I had a Breville Smart Grinder Pro before and it really couldn't handle fine grinds for espresso.

Just better coffee.
The first thing I immediately noticed was how fine, consistent and fluffy the grind was. This translated directly into much better tasting coffee. I had some crappy Starbucks beans that someone left here and I couldn't even drink the espresso with those before. With the DF64 it turned it into drinkable (barely). And with good beans, the espresso is really delicious.

Solid build quality.
This thing is solid. You can feel it in the weight. I love the resistance when adjusting the grind size. It is not going to slip/move from vibrations. I didn't think I needed continuous grind setting, but I actually really appreciate the finer adjustment it gives. I also like how big the dial is, again for more precision. The new metal on/off switch is also really nice and a much needed improvement.

Single dosing is great
I didn't think I needed to switch beans very often, so I didn't know if I really need a single doser. But as it happens, I have actually been switching quite a bit. If I buy a bean that is ok, but not great, I use for milk-based drinks in the morning. In the afternoon, I make an espresso with the best bean I have. Another unexpected workflow improvement is the dosing cup. I used to put on the dosing funnel and break up all the clumps with a distribution tool. But with the dosing cup, I get much fewer clumps and decent distribution just by blind shaking the cup on the portafilter.

Amazing value
I was trying to decide between the DF64 and a Eureka Oro single dose. The DF64 was half the price. Sure the Italian design of the Eureka is beautiful, but I doubt the coffee is going to be any better.

The only negatives and they're minor.
Yes it is a bit messy. I have to clean up my counter at least once per week because the grinds are stuck to the side of the grinder and over the base. No I haven't tried RDT spray yet, but I will. Most of the stray grounds from using the bellows. Which BTW you really should use (see below). I've had been using it every time, and I still got a very serious/solid jam in the grinds chute. The brush wouldn't clean it, so I had to take the chute apart. The good news is that I was able to do so to clear it. The bad news is that it was pretty finicky getting it apart and back together. Once the cute cover is off, there are 2 other screws that hold the chute and its almost impossible to get them off without dropping a screw into the housing because they're kinda deep and not the easiest to access. This also makes it a little challenging to get it back on along with the declumper which has to be installed under the chute by the same screws. Since then, I'm whacking the bellows even harder in spite of the mess it makes.

SSP burrs
The cherry on top was finding out I won the draw for a set of SSP burrs. I'm hoping to install them today and I'll post a review for them too soon. Thanks DFGrinders.ca!
