MiiCoffee DF64 II Single Dosing Coffee Grinder (Black)

I have been using the DF64 II single-dose coffee grinder for a full week after switching from the Breville Smart Grinder. Here are the pros and cons I've noticed: Pros: - Much more consistent grind size. The DF64 II produces an even, clump-free grind. The Breville had some particle size variation and clumping issues. - Faster grinding time. The DF64 II grinds a 20g dose in just 8 seconds, compared to 23 seconds on the Breville. Cons: - Louder operation. The DF64 II is significantly louder than the Breville. This could be disruptive in shared living spaces like dorm rooms. - Retention issues. Despite claims of minimal retention, the DF64 II's chute accumulates some coffee particles due to static buildup. Pre-misting the beans may help. In summary, the DF64 II excels at grind consistency and speed. The noise level and retention are relatively minor drawbacks. Overall, it produces a more consistent grind that improves espresso extraction versus the Breville. In addition to espresso grinding, the DF64 II performs very well for other brew methods like pour-over and French press. It can grind coffee evenly at the larger particle sizes needed for these methods. P.S. MiiCoffee also sells an excellent, affordable auto-leveling tamper that perfectly matches the grinder.

I bought my DF64 2 months ago. I came from a Baratza Encore ESP (which is perhaps the best $200 grinder) and this is a huge leap forward for my coffee. First of all, with the same beans I have developed new flavors and notes thanks to this grinder. Second, the noise. I don't know where people reads that this is the most noisy grinder ever because I use it everyday twice a day and it is more quiet than the ESP; and this leads me to the third reason: the grinding time. I drastically reduced the grinding time for my beans. I can grind 18 grams of coffee in a third of the time I could with the ESP, so: less time + less noise = more comfortable grinding. And last, the dial. It's very precise and I can dial my espresso and pour overs with accuracy, adding or taking off seconds of extraction with very little adjustments. Overall, a great grinder that payed off really quickly. Also the looks! The quality construction is beatiful. Noblesse oblige: this is not a rant against the ESP, which is a great grinder and has given me excellent coffee (espresso and filtered), but this is really a good upgrade if you have the money.

This grinder is made of outstanding material and craftsmanship. The grinding burrs do a fantastic job. The noise from the grinding is quiet. The bellow does a perfect job of releasing any residual grounds. Many times, there are no residual grounds present for the bellow to do its job. The built-in ionizer has done a perfect job of preventing static buildup in the grounds. I have not had to spritz the beans with water prior to grinding. The grinder is heavy, but made with high quality, lasting material. I can highly recommend this grinder.

Compared to my previous grinder (a Bodum Bistro) this thing is a tank! My old grinder weighs maybe 1.5lb, and this thing is closer to 15. It feels like a real machine tool compared to all my other kitchen appliances. I decided to upgrade because, while the old Bistro was actually quite capable for everything from French press down to Aeropress, it struggles to grind for espresso as it's just not quite rigid enough. The DF-64 has no such problem. First run, I set the grind dial to 10 and loaded my usual 16g dose of a dark roast into the portafilter. This was a mistake: my espresso machine pumped up to 15bar and just stalled, no liquid out at all! Reset with the grind around 20 and tried again--this time got liquid out but it still ran slow at 12bar. After dialing in, I find dark roasts run well around 23-25 on mine, and lighter roasts I've tried so far I might go down around 18-20. The adjustment dial is stepless, and it's large enough that if you know your grind setting for each coffee, switching back and forth between settings for different beans is definitely possible. Retention seems very low, especially if you use the bellows to puff air through the burrs before shutting off. Overall I'm very happy, and enjoying very consistent high quality espresso every time. The cost delayed my decision to purchase for a long time, but so far I'm quite pleased, and honestly for the sheer weight of metal in this thing I now understand why it's so expensive.

Did not like and was very disappointed as it was very messy to use and clean. Ended up getting a Eureka Mignon Notte.

Works amazingly well and fast. Love the design and the wood-top bellows. Serious weight and engineering quality of this machine just brings me joy.

Does a good job, but in my opinion it's overrated, I don't taste the difference of the grinders that are half the price and I appreciate quality coffee. If you have the skill to make quality espresso then you don't need to spend so much and if you are lacking the skill then this expensive machine won't help you much

Massively heavy, stable, and smooth. Sits rock solid on rubber feet. Motor has enough torque to spin the machine 1/2” if placed on a towel. Excellent grind. No clumping. No static. Finding zero is easy. Mine was set perfectly from factory. Medium roast does well at “12” in my machine. Quieter than the awful conical grinder I had before.

Excelente. Tuve que esperar un mes para que me llegara, pero valió la pena. Es muy robusto y pesado. Enseguida se nota la calidad. El molido es uniforme. Ya es un molinillo Pro. Superó al Baratza Encore esp qué tenía previamente.

I've been using a Breville conical burr grinder for years. I was excited to try this and it doesn't disappoint! The sound is a little loud when grinding, but otherwise no complaints so far. Great flavor profile coming out in my espressos

This is a fantastic grinder and is very solid and well made. I chose this particular grinder after quite a lot of research, reviews on both Amazon and YouTube and I'm not at all dissapointed. This is really easy to use providing all the grinding functionality that is needed for espresso coffee through to a standard filter (if you desire) making the adjustment range large. If like me you are mainly wanting to use this for espresso coffee grinding, the is really quite perfect for that. There are marked points around the adjustment, bu the grind setting is continuous so that you can find that perfect grind to get the best tasting coffee. Its really quite clean to use, despite what some of the reviews might tell you, and is really quite easy to clean or keep clean. This is not a cheap grinder by any standards, but you do get very much what you pay for. However, if you are considering this grinder, there are quite a few additional accessories that you could invest in and more importantly better quality burrs are available and highly recommended by coffee enthusiasts. However, they are not cheap to purchase either, but at some point in time when I have got some wear out of the burrs that the machine came with I will probably invest in a set of SSP burrs. Although this has been listed as MiiCoffee DF64, these grinders are manufactured under the Turin name and this one actually came from DF64Coffee despatched from Singapore. I was amazed at how quickly they despatched the machine, the tracking was amazing and it arrived at my door two days after it was despatched. Amazon had it down for a 2 week delivery wait, DHL had it down as a 1 week delivery, but they actually delivered in two days from Singapore. I don't think anyone could complain at that. Although there was a missing item from the box when I opened, the brush that they recommend you use to clean it, a note to the supplier via the Amazon site and they responded within a couple of days and are sending that out to me seperately suggesting that any support for this unit will be really good too. If you are looking for a really good grinder, even for home use like I am doing, I would highly recommend this one.
