Just what this grinder needed. Just find out where your zero point is and set this adjustable ring to that location. Now you truly know the point NOT to dial beyond. It is a sturdy piece of metal (not 3D printed) and looks like it is an original part of the grinder.
Super sturdy chunk of metal and performs better than the standard, plastic cup (that is more prone to static).
I'm in love with this grinder! I ordered the unit with the Red Titanium burrs, the 54mm dosing cup and the black, metal dial indicator. I find the unit is relatively quiet (for a grinder). It has not produced much static at all (as I think previous generations might have). The metal dial indicator is quality (not plastic/3d printed) and I like the fact that I now have a true zero point. The dosing cup is also a high quality, sturdy chuck of metal with lid.
Something to note. I have a white, quartz countertop and the black, flat cushioned feet rubbed off on the countertop and took some elbow grease to remove. I solved this by ordering some 5/8" Clear Self-Adhesive Polyurethane Bumper Pads from Amazon that fit PERFECTLY into the indentation used for the exiting pads.
There is also a 3/D printed accessory (sold on Etsy) that lets you grind directly into a 54mm portafilter, which just saves you from having to transfer grounds from the dosing cup to the portafilter.
Overall - extremely pleased with the purchase and with the DF Grinder accessories. Shipping was also fast for me.
So far, I’m very pleased with my new Grindr, it looks to be very well built Iand it’s got some heft to it which gives a feeling that this grinder. should last for some time, I have read reviews that this Grindr is prone to jamming have not had any issues of this yet? I think it’s more to do with user error before putting Coffey beans in. You must turn on the grinder and slowly pour the coffee beans in to be ground, I have done that and never had any issues with it at all, I would recommend this grinder to anyone who is on a budget that wants a good coffee grinder,
I use a 6 cup mocha pot and I weigh off 30g of Coffey beans and turn on the grinder and slowly feed the grinder coffee beans I have never once been disappointed so far with this grinder,
My grinder is open box grinder has all the same warranty as brand-new, never been used before grinder, so if you’re on a budget, I would highly recommend purchasing an open box grinder,
Next year this time, I could give you a better review of the grinder, so far the open box DF 54 has exceeded my expectations for what I paid for a a flat burr grinder
With the new dosing cup, there’s no more spillage. And it looks great with my black grinder. Easy to order and fast delivery. All good stuff!
DF54 grinds with excellent precision and consistency and the result is the amazing coffee like never before. We love it. Thank you very much!
I received the unit aand the box had a big dent in it, however, thanks to the extra padding. The grinder remained untouched. Thanks to the upgraded titanium burrs the first grind to my latest grind has been perfect! As a beginner barista I feel like I’ve jumped to the front of the line with this grinder. Highly recommend- five stars.
After installing it, I noticed it rubs a bit against the number display plate.
I shimmed it up about 1-2mm, & tighten the set-screw. It has worked flawlessly since.

I've been hand grinding for several years, I just replaced both my espresso, & filter grinders a few months ago.
But espressos are getting so tedious!
I decided to finally buy an electric grinder.
I pretty much knew what I wanted, DF64, or DF83.
I decided on the DF64 due to lack of counter space. But really would've rather had the DF83.
The grinder has been so nice! Just a few seconds for an espresso!
Thank you very much, I am really glad I finally decided on a DF grinder!

Works great for medium dark roast so far. I'm doing RDT, slow feeding just in case
Nice grinder, I’m liking the single dose grinder. It’s very clean, no grounds all over my counter. So far no retention. Seems to work well with medium roast espresso beans.
First time I tried to use it, it clogged and only about 1/4 of the beans came through. I have it in pieces now trying to clean it to see if that works.
Nice little addition, we use the plastic cup that came with it for measuring the beans and the metal cup for the grinded beans, nice machined lid fits perfect
So quiet that my wife didn’t know she had to turn it off and ran it for 4hrs straight. It got a little warm but still working great
I get perfect grinds every time. Two issues that kept me from giving 5 stars: 1) The grind-size wheel is very difficult to turn; and 2) the actual grinding process is fairly slow compared to other grinders. But, all in all, I’m extremely happy with the product.
Adam always goes the extra mile and very pleasant to deal with.
Honestly a nice piece of equipment. It's quiet, well built, robust and stylish. This is definitely a step up from a Breville Smart Grinder.
My only complain is removing the wooden lid removes the bellows. They need to revise the design where the rubber bellows secures tightly to the housing so when you remove the wooden lid, the bellows doesn't come off.
No issues with retention yet. Metal cup is real nice, love the angle of the cup to prevent any particles from falling out.
This grinder works amazingly well! First burr grinder and the improvement in the quality of the coffee is shocking. The bellows is fun and useful.
