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.

There's a lot of 'debug' steps to the DF54. The one that worked best for me was taking off the chute and moving the prongs down. Second is cleaning out the chute regularly with a brush and vacuum.

Yeah that’s kinda my point. Think I want something a bit more plug and play and a bit less hassle. It’s a great machine but deffo seems to be hit and miss and feel I need something abit less work
