Not What I Expected... DF64 Gen 2 & DF83 V2 Coffee Grinders

[@aramse]

IMPORTANT! Please Read: 1. Sorry about the audio quality drop at 4:47. 2. WARNING: You will not be able to look at the Lagom P64 the same ever again if you watch this video. 3. DO NOT put KY-Jelly in your grinder.

[@CapnAmericano]

Hi Aramse, for the declumper hack on the df83, did you simply remove one of the declumper layers and only go with the 1? Also, have you noticed any flavor changes as a result to espresso? Sounds like you like it for filter due to less fines. I imagine it to be the same for espresso? Just got the df83 v2 and curious of doing the same hack to lessen fines but don't want to diminish flavor of espresso. Thanks!

[@seansteele792]

Got my DF64 Gen 2 a week ago, and while its early Im loving it! The catch cup is also matching black and the catch cup holder is now black metal with no rattle which is nice, and the declumper is single layered. Almost like they watched this video for their latest version haha!

[@TheJolam80]

Being a previous DF83 owner who also spent some time with the 64mm DLC burrs, I gotta say your taste description is SPOT ON. Actually, the whole review is extremely accurate. I'm a big fan of your work and looking forward to your future content. Keep it up!

[@AApekrul]

Thank you for the declumper tip. I recently bought a DF64 and was surprised by the amount of fines produced. Made filter coffee kind of unpleasant, I'm gonna try this hack

How has it been so far ? I want to order the same grinder and the ssp for filter and espresso

[@justinlouismusic]

Very pleased but be careful when you season the grinder with coffee. You need to use the bellows for each portion of coffee used or the grinder or shute will clog up.

[@philindeblanc]

@@justinlouismusic can you not take the chute out and put a tupperware under it? You can also use some softer rice types. Also helps when cleaning the grinder.

I do have both, DF64 Gen2 and DF83 v2 and can just confirm what you have mentioned. For me, they are great bangs for the buck. Other grinders that can beat them come with a heavier price tag. But your analysis of their quirks is spot on! Love your channel, great work!

As well as the Timeore 078S another competitor for the DF83 would be the Niche Duo. I have the Sculptor 078S and a Kopi Deva 64mm grinder yhe Sculptor is so good, the workflow is amazing, I think the Deva makes slightly better espresso, but the workflow is not great, but if you can spemd the time dialing in it gives amazing results, looks great and is built like a tank

[@BensCoffeeRants]

I thought the same thing initially that the df83 has a more traditional conical burr like taste profile. Befofe being seasoned or modding the declumper. I actually compared it with a Niche Zero and my friends Sette when i first got the df83. Seemed like DF83 had similar but slightly less body a little more clarity than both of those but very similar profile one thing we noticed was DF83 was smoother with less bitterness. However i think if we'd compare again now it would be more night and day difference with df83 being lower body and higher clarity and likely a little more acidity. I wonder how the df83 would be with Mazzer burrs if that would put it back towards being more traditional.

[@aramse]

These burrs are fully seasoned at this point with around 4-5kgs of beans. It still has a pretty blended profile and a lot of texture.

Hi, I'd love to see a more detailed video comparing these two to the Timemore 078s... I am heading for an upgrade and have my eye on both of these brands... taste with stock burrs, as I am unlikely to want to change burrs every time I change coffee percolation type! Thanks!

Very well done. And I enjoy the humor. 😊

[@geekyboytop]

Couldn’t live with the df83 wildly inconsistent one morning I dial it in two shots later espresso is gushing the next day it chokes the machine without touching the grinder. I tried everything except for the declumper. I’m going for the sculpter 64s hopefully that works better.

[@thoughtsforthemind]

Big yes to burr comparison please!! 😊

[@mikni4069]

Cleaning plasma generator seem like a rather noticeable design flaw, the flap mod is also still a work in progress… Hopefully the DF83v solves most of this. However what I seen on SSP so far the difference between 83 vs 64 is very very mute. Meaning currently I see no real gain (in the cup) to go with 83. Personally I dream of an affordable 80mm that can take Core and ultra burr because these are vastly better burrs then those currently found on 64mm and 83mm.

[@ziptiefighter]

Would a Niche-like cover over the top of these drastically reduce their obnoxious volume?...maybe a simple plastic food carton to experiment. A bandaid...yes. But it'd be nice to know if a simple flip cover would resolve the noise problem. I look forward to big DF comparison video...especially the DF64V's volume vs the others. Cheers

[@fluttuers2820]

Nice review Aramse! I would be interested in a grinder showdown or maybe even just a burr showdown. Is the Sculptor 076 still the filter king in your book or have you found anything better/on the horizon?

[@aramse]

At that price point yes. It’s still amazing and I use it is almost everyday. I do think the 83 MP edges it out but that’s a $1000 price tag at this point. I’m still testing though and they haven’t been fully seasoned just yet.

[@goawaybaizuo]

I'm mainly a filter/pourover coffee drinker. I was wondering if the df64 gen 2 could take fellow ode gen 2 burrs. I really like the body to clarity ratio they give.

[@michaelfurtado4353]

Just picked up the DF64 GEN2 with DLC burrs too replace my not so old baratza ESP because i switch between two coffees quite allot and im hopping the less retention will give me better consistency. I noticed that the baratza encore esp retains alllotttt of crap and wasnt too happpy with all the plastic bits inside. Hope i made the right decision fingers crossed….

[@aramse]

This should be a pretty big upgrade. :)

[@BensCoffeeRants]

The original DF64s weren't that bad I've had a bunch. Due to quality control though some seemed better than others. Retention and overall design on the df83 of 64 gen2 which is similar is an improvement though. Sounds like you just don't like portafilter forks. Like the p64 the DF64 portafilter forks work fine but some portafilters may fit better than others. Adding or removing the silicon socks can help with that. Also the catch cup and funnel are a much appreciated upgrade for most people lol. You want something that just works nicely you need the p64. My one main complaint on my early build df83 funnel is that it fits loosely and rattles a bigger thicker gasket would fix that! Not sure what would make you say the build or feel is nicer on the ode than it is on the DF grinders. Both feel fine to me but DF is definitely heavier and heavier duty feeling as a result.

[@aramse]

You are correct. I know people who were happy with the OG. I just don’t have any regrets not trying to it. Haha. Also my issue is not with the forks per se. It’s more of a design and visual balance thing for me. My designer brian just flags it as disproportionate and tacked on. Can’t help it. For comparison, the fork on the EG 1 or any of the Kafatek grinders are substantial and actually look like a part of the overall aesthetic. I hope I’m explaining it properly. :)

[@peterwhatever1012]

would you pick the DF83 over the sculptor 078s? I have the 78s and then of 4 kilos I feel so much unconsistency in the grinding, how many kilos of coffe I need to waste to sazonate it....does It will change? I am a bit worried

Showdown!!! You do some of the best content on YT! I want more!!! I’d love a eureka mignon zero for comparison

[@aramse]

Thank you!

[@philindeblanc]

Forget the Eureka line, unless you use just 1 type of bean. The dial adjuster for grind setting is the worste. This morning, I went through 6 shots before I dialed in. Wasted 19g per shot and all went to a "Iced Vanilla Latte for wife" insulated bottle in fridge...which is a waste for such pricey specialty beans. They need to update their grind dial for single dosers, as we tend to try medium to dark or light roasts, and we dont want to waste beans. So far in the past 5months I have dumped $300-400 worth. I want to see the DF64 with SSP burrs, the HU or MP vs the newer DF83variable with stock burrs. Last thing I want to do is spend 700 on a grinder then need to update burrs. So if DF64 is fitting my profile in espresso taste, I might do that over 83v. But IDK?

[@KaranRajpal]

Any chance you'd be reviewing the DF54 in the near future?

[@Senshi_o]

For filter only which grinder did you prefer more the DF83 or the sculptor 078?

[@aramse]

With the stock burrs the 83 is just OK at filter. The 078 is incredible. With the 83mm SSP MP it gets very close with the DF83 probably edging out the 078 a bit. And the SSPs aren't fully seasoned yet.

[@Senshi_o]

@@aramse Thanks for the info, I don’t plan on spending more on SSP burrs so i’ll go with the 078!

Do you prefer 83 SSP MP to 78 turbo? Got myself sculptor 78 and plan on getting df64v with ssp mp. It is as close as you can get to p64 without breaking the bank.

It's just personal preference at that point. 078 more juicy, 83mp sharper in a good way

I don't understand all the hate for the Gen 1 DF64! I've had mine for nearly 3 years (post Hoffman review, I thing mine is the 3rd iteration) and it's really wonderful. Yes it produces a lot of chaff but the workflow is perfect, I have never had the clogging declumper or popcorning issues people talk about a lot, and I don't understand the hate of the original DF64 central placement of the button. If the button was on the side I feel like I would have trouble reaching it since my grinder is right next to my espresso machine

Hi Aramse, thank you for your great video(s)! Could you use rpm like 800 too for the filter ssp df64 gen2 burr comparison? Would be very interesting but honestly, also a lot of extra work :-(

[@aramse]

Not sure I follow your question. The Gen 2 is not variable RPM. Only the V models are. Or are you asking if we can compare the SSP to the Gen 2 burrs at 800 rpm on another grinder?

[@SarntAKluss]

@@aramse hi, sorry for the unclear question, nonetheless you got it right. If you "only" test on a DF64 - of course you will compare at one RPM. But I read, that for instance SSPcast are great for filter at ~800RPM and also very good for espresso at ~1400RPM. So, it would be interesting to have the filter test for SSBcast and the DF64gen2 burrs at lower RPM too...But no matter what you do, I am looking forward to it & thx in advance!

I really hope you'll make that video on the SSP Burrs

[@purpleblue5205]

Which is better for espresso? DF83 or 078s (assuming both are using stock burrs and seasoned)? What about for filter coffee? Can either DF83 or 078s stock burrs come somewhat close to a 078, or is the 078 on a completely different level for filter coffee? Or better yet, have you ever tried making espresso with a 078? I remember Lance Hedrick making espresso with a filter coffee focused hand grinder (ZP6) and being surprised at how good it was. I'd really like to get a 078 but I also want espresso from time to time.

[@aramse]

Ok I'll reply in order. 1) The 83 stock burrs are excellent for traditional style espresso that are low more acidity and clarity but really high on sweetness and texture. The 078S burrs are better for more modern style espresso which better structured acidity and clarity and these burrs are much better for filter than the stock 83. 2) No comparison, the 078 is a filter beast. But comparing the 078S and stock 83 the former comes out ahead with better clarity and overall balance in the cup. 3)The 078 will not do espresso at 9bars. You maybe able to do it with a very dark roast but I doubt you'd want to drink it. You'll also have to grind uncomfortably fine (burr chirp) to build that kind of pressure. It is however capable of turbo shots and does pretty well at that.

[@purpleblue5205]

@@aramse Thanks a bunch. You've convinced me to get the 078. 078 seems to be a one of kind filter grind for its price range and I actually prefer turbo shots over modern style espresso. Might also get a DF83 or other traditional espresso focused grinder in the future just for thick high body espresso. Modern style espresso never made sense to me since it doesn't have the clarity and acid balance of pour overs, body + mouthfeel of traditional style, or sweetness and consistency of turbos. Its like a middle ground that doesn't excel at any one thing. 078s seems like a middleman between 078(clarity-acidity) and DF83(body).

[@neil7902]

What grind range were you using for filter with your df83? I've found 70-90 is necessary which is way bigger than I would require in other grinders.

Thanks for showing the DF83 declumper mod. Unfortunately, I'm still getting a ton of retention even after doing that and also using RDT. I wonder if it's just a fact of life with this grinder and super dry Denver winters?

[@aramse]

Ah it could be. So it looks like the retention at the top seems to be non exchange so once it’s filled up it just stays put. The only issue is that you need to brush it to clean out the declumper every once in a while which mean that you’ll get retention again until that fills up. Very annoying. The chute definitely needs work.

[@TheTimLara]

@@aramse I definitely do feel like the dryness and resulting mega static I notice around my house is a contributing factor to coffee wanting to stick to that plastic chute so fiercely.

It crashed down onto the base and already left some marks.

I don't get how people factor in noise level when buying a grinder, like your grinding coffee, for a small amount of time XD

[@mta4144]

The df64v basically solves all the issues you mentioned 😁

[@hookedonwood5830]

but is missing the plasma generator.. - love mine though - but would like less statics.

[@justinlouismusic]

@@hookedonwood5830 use a spritz of water rdt.

[@papec122]

​@@hookedonwood5830new DF64V come with plasma generator. Only issue is some static noise when not grinding but I was told that they work on solution for that and will send the part that's fixing the issue to people so they can install it

SHOWDOWN! SHOWDOWN! SHOWDOWN! SHOWDOWN! SHOWDOWN! SHOWDOWN!

Would love a comparison for categories "filter only" , "espresso only", "mixed" and also for burrs. Does it really matter in which machine you put the ssp burrs? Should taste the same everwhere, right ?

[@aramse]

It would be nice if it were that simple but nothing with coffee seems to be. Haha. So these are just a few of the variables that affect the grounds - the burr chamber, the feeding system (direct or auger fed or auger fed with pre breaker), the burr orientation and rpm. So unfortunately moving burrs from one grinder to another will not give you identical performance. As for the comparison video it’s in the works and it’ll cover filter and espresso. It’s so much work but we’ll hopefully have that ready soon.

It's crazy that these grinders still need fiddling. Never again (I have one of the original DF64s).

[@aramse]

For the price I'd say these are definitely now well within the tolerable level of fiddling required. But I get that the trauma from using the OG could very well put one off DF grinders for life. Luckily there's no dearth of alternatives. :)

“Sopranos from Hell.” Excellent.

[@marcsilverman2457]

I'd love to see your review of the new DF 83v

[@aramse]

Should be here any day. :)

The Zerno, where is the Zerno?!

[@aramse]

We’re waiting patiently. They are a small company and are fulfilling orders at present so the moment they have a spare unit for review they should be sending it over.

[@faremissound]

@@aramse + 1 for a Zerno review too!
