that's why i sent request per email. I don't want metal cup coming with black or white machine.

They are crimp terminals, not wire nuts. Granted he didn't use the correct tool to crimp them, when properly crimped, crimp ferrules/ terminals are much more secure than actual wire nuts. Wire nuts are what the Americans use for their electrical wiring and simply twist on. These aren't connections that are meant to resist movement in regular use, nor are they meant to be end user serviceable; the use of crimp terminal is perfectly good and there's no need for a reusable connection like Wagos which would drive the price up significantly.

I would also like to know this!

I just received mine and noticed the same thing. Does it go away or is it constant noise all the time?

@@papec122 it comes and goes! But gets louder sometimes.

I bought a socket with a switch to turn the DF64V power OFF if it gets too irritating, that's a work-around I guess. Still it's weird to me that the ionizer is working even when you are not grinding, shouldn't it be linked to the button that activates the motor?

Yup, the first thing I noticed. Not a fair comparison on grinding time. Closer than he shows.

Not at all! The DF64's ioniser helps with the grind retention issue. Just note that what we are using were not brand new grinders but grinders we have been using constantly for experiments and testing. The 64 needed more cleaning as grinds managed to build up over time at the ioniser probes so we always suggest to our customers to spend 3 seconds taking the pin brush and cleaning out the chute and the probes. Just simple maintenance like that will go a long way in ensuring the plasma generators work well! If you have any issues with your grinder you can always reach out to us at [email protected]!

Its the declumper, together with a metal piece I just asked this myself 😅

and this is why we always recommend doing a simple 3-second cleaning after every grind if not like our host Zubin experienced, you might get a surprise 😂

stop using the plastic cup and get a metal cup. this will solve the static issues

@@chikunman133 i will try thank you

@@naordaniel no problem. When I got my df54, I was using the metal cup from my d40+. I then started grinding directly into the portafilter, but that didn't last long, then I went to the plastic cup and I started having static issues. It never occur to me that it was the cup. I was frustrated one day after many weeks of static build up, and having done a full deep clean of the machine and still getting static buildup immediately after, that I searched it on reddit and someone mentioned the metal cup thing and it all made sense. Since then, I've been grinding directly into the portafilter with a small dosing funnel. No static issues at all, barely any buildup on the diodes, I shove a brush up there once a week just to keep it clean. And because the anti clumper and anti static is so good, I don't even wdt anymore. Tap it level, tamp and go

@@naordaniel I also let my friend who also has a df54 and was frustrated with the static know this, he switched to a metal dosing cup and the issues went away for him as well and now he's back to loving the machine

@@chikunman133 thank you very much, I will now order a steel cup, it really makes sense, I appreciate your help very much 🙏🏻

if you are still using the plastic cup, stop using it and get a metal cup or grind directly into portafilter. this will solve the static issues. the ionizer likely works fine, the plastic cup is a haven for static

what was the issue?
