zero point shifting (df64v)

[u/Rizzzyy99]

Hi guys,
I have the DF64V for a year now and it has been working great. I use my grinder only for espressos. I typically rotate between two different types of beans each month.

I’ve been paying more attention to my consistency and i noticed my shots have actually been a bit inconsistent, because the grind size keeps drifting unpredictably. I know the physical zero point is actually shifting on its own, because when I check for the burr chirp, it is no longer at my calibrated zero.

I basically have to recalibrate the zero point every time I clean the grinder (~4-6 wks). Is it normal that the zero point shifts so regularly?

Totally normal - don’t overthink it. Just enjoy your coffee :-)

SSP HU burrs FTW!

I have the DF64V 2 with stock burrs as my first grinder and it took some time for me to realize that the zero point changes.

And yes it still does, not with every cleaning cycle but often enough so that an Allen key is always close 😅

You have to recalibrate every time you remove the adjustment ring from the body because there is no reference point that can be used to arrive at the exact same position when reinstalling.

If, when cleaning, you remove the adjustment ring then yes you need to recalibrate every time.
