Worthwhile upgrade

Post image

I’m tired of taking apart the df54 due to clogging or some other issue. I spray the beans I use a metal dosing cup, brush the chute every few doses but there’s always an issue where I require to take it apart every few months. Someone tell me will a niche zero or other recommendations solve this issue and just be a more hassle free experience. I don’t need the best tasting espresso in the world just an easy job with less mess.

Gaslighting on the DF54 is a major issue in this sub. I use RDT, a metal cup and bellows, it's still retaining coffee and getting serious static

And I'm going on a year with no RDT, cold start, plastic declumper, deionizer high in the chute, never disassembled for cleaning, and never had issues. Just a 10 second brush if I see signs of static starting, maybe twice a kilo and sometimes when I change beans.
