TLDR; I HIGHLY recommend DFGrinders.ca.
The DF54 Grinder is great. I'm having fun dialing it in.
But what I REALLY want to shout about is the most excellent customer service I received from DFGrinders.ca.
They were highly responsive.
They were supremely accomodating to me, arranging for me to pick up my DF54 from "Pirates of Coffee" as short notice, with no fuss.
When i then asked them if they would price match their Black Friday sales price, they just went ahead and did it, no doubt at some inconvenience to themselves, not to mention, the lower margin.
They gave me a "personalized" experience, (when other vendors took forever to respond with incomplete information).
I'd love to go on and on.
I will buy from you guys again.
These burrs are really helping achieve clarity in espresso I was looking for. A cupping test already yielded quite big difference between stock burrs and other grinders (e.g., Niche Zero). Very happy with this purchase. The multi-purpose are less forgiving to dial in, but are more rewarding once mastered.
Paired the DF64 Grinder with the SSP Unimodal burrs which were also installed and aligned by DF Grinders. The support team were very helpful and responsive for any technical questions I had. The cupping test I conducted between the Niche Zero and this DF64 also yielded very interesting results, with more clarity and nuances that I did not pick up before. Highly recommended to purchase from this distributor and highly recommend this grinder.
Seems more efficient and robust than the existing declumper. Easy to install. Just received it and will soon determine if preferable to the old version.
Très satisfait!
Bel objet, fonctionne très bien. Mon café est meilleur!
Un client heureux!
The grinder cleaner really does work. It removes oily residue from your grinder that will, without removal, cause a choke eventually. I didn’t use 40g of cleaner followed by 100g of coffee as this seemed excessive.
Great point Anthony - we agree! DF Grinders are single dose and extremely low retention so the equivalent amount of cleaner as a single dose of beans (so 18-20 grams of cleaner) will be sufficient for each cleaning. Enjoy!
DF64 Gen 2 Coffee Grinder (Certified Box Wear)
Had issues with the first unit, but support was helpful in getting me a shipping label almost immediately and a replacement as soon as possible. The new unit is perfect.
Bought this for my filter brews and it works fantastically… easy to adjust.. no complaints..👌
After using a conical bur hand grinder for a while this grinder has been a massive improvement. It's very easy use, makes no mess and does very quality grind
It is still early days, only three weeks since purchase. So far so good. I only prepare espressos so the fine settings are working very well.
I recently purchased the DF54 and after a couple of trials to find the perfect grind for my beans I made the best coffee I have ever made. The caramelly and chocolaty flavours I really like are now more pronounced than ever before. This replaces my big commercial Ascaso grinder so I wasn't using a cheap grinder before. I highly recommend the DF54.
As expected, high quality product. I wish they made the base out of stronger and heavier material, that’s my only complaint
Easy to use, small profile, very clean and little retention. Reasonably quiet too!
Really happy with grinder, does what a good grinder should.
