Very solid build quality. I have only tried grounds in the espresso range so far but everything has been light fluffy and very consistent.
Great experience working with DFgrinders and very happy with my DF54 grinder product!
The grinder is so super quiet and very accurate.
The only issue is that the coarse adjuster is very stiff and takes two hands to turn. You have to put in a good amount of effort to turn it. It's not a one-handed adjustment, which seems strange.
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!!
I received my grinder yesterday.
It's been awesome. Came with clear instructions. Ready to go out of the box.
And honestly even higher build quality than what I was expecting.
Excited to play with it some more to really dial things in.
Also, it's always great to be able to support Canadian business!
Being a beginner of espresso making the DF 64 grinder is very
good . The first month of grinding , a bit messy around the shut but after a couple times of cleaning it looks clean. I am very pleased with
this brand . My coffee now is very good and enjoyable and I am glad that I purchased that piece of equipment.

I’ve had my grinder for almost a month. I was going to buy a DF53 but it was unavailable so I splurged on the DF64. It is much quieter than I thought it would be with very little retention. I’m still experimenting with grinds as I make coffee with an aeropress. This is a great grinder.
Great grinder, don't waste your time with the larger version unless you live in a mansion. This baby does it all and a fraction of the size
This is an excellent grinder, easy to use and with consistent results. Switching to this grinder has made the most significant impact in the flavour of the coffee I prepare with my Aeropress,
This grinder is sleek, feels incredibly well built, and has been an awesome upgrade to my set up!
This is simply the best bang for your buck. I love this grinder. With this, there is no need to upgrade.
Love the grinder love the grind absolutely hate the static . Need to brush every three or four days .
The best entry level grinder you can buy!
This grinder is awesome! Using it for my new pour over set up and have been loving it to dial in single origin brews. Cant beat it for the price. Quality grinder!
A big step up over my previous conical burr grinder, especially the anti-static feature.
Got the white DF64 - it is much faster than my last grinder. I've had it for a month now and love using it every time. No static or retention issues at all - barely needed a wipe during the whole month. Grinds are consistent and fluffy and coffee is delicious. I use mine primarily for espresso. It's also quite beautiful!
Great build quality,consistant grinds, great value at the price point ,will recomend
