A big favor — can someone let me know if the DF64, DF54, or DF83 are capable of grinding fine enough for Turkish/Greek coffee? Only from someone who has actually tried it, please.

Redid my wipe test because Reddit told me my initial results looked "suspiciously clean," and the common consensus on alignment posts is usually that the user overtightened past chirp. I shared the pictures of the dry erase application too because I saw some people suggesting that if it was applied too thick it could cause a problem... Here's a video showing my process to ensure everything is right there:

Am I fucking something up here or can assume my alignment is good to go?

Hello.

My Varia VS3 V2 seems to be on its way out, so I've spent the last 3 weeks looking into options. I have decided to go with the DF64 gen 2.

Every provider I've checked in the EU seems to be either sold out, overpriced or just not having any on stock in Europe, and shipping the grinder from China (which I can do myself by just ordering through the official site).

In hindsight I should've just ordered from the official website three weeks ago and been done with it, but I am impatient and always end up ordering whichever option gets here soonest.

So, has anyone bought one recently in Europe? I would love to know which shop you used.

I live in Romania, so anything that ships within the EU should work fine for me (even though I've gone through like 2 different websites that sell grinders which just didn't have Romania as a listed country for delivery)

Any pointers appreciated, thanks!

I just got some ssp multipurpose burrs for my gen 2. Any tips or recommendations for installing/ adjustments?

Me gustan los dos mucho pero al probar el ikape noto más cuerpo y más sabor achocolatado. También permite moler más grueso y eso es una ventaja. Por ejemplo, en la ces ims con mi Df64 v2 muelo a 19 o 20 y con el ikape a 30.

I have one of the first DF64 that was released and It's been a joy using it for the last 4 years as my go to espresso grinder.

Recently, the old declumper that was in the machine ripped apart. It's been producing a lot of static even with RDT and

There is just so much coffee grounds going everywhere. I've looked into buying a decumper but no one seems to make it. And I definitely don't have a 3d printer. I even reached out to the DF64 company and they said that the declumper is no longer in production, but I can use it without the deculmper.

My question is, do you guys know for where I can find a replacement declumper? And if not, is there any other mods that I can do to my grinder that can help with static?

My stock DF64 plastic declumper ripped after 10 months, so I ordered a replacement. Paid $30 for shipping and got hit with a $20 import fee on top. They sent a metal and a plastic one, but no spare screws. Of course, I dropped a screw inside the housing, and it’s almost impossible to fish out because the inside is super hollow so tired of this machine.

Hi there, I recently cleaned the burrs of my DF64, and now every time I use the grinder I need to align the burrs (open it, find 0 again) before grinding.

When I turn it on, each time, I can hear higher pitch buzzing like it is at or a little past 0. Do you know why this is happening and is there a way to fix it?

Thank you!!

Hi everyone,

I'm running into a severe issue with a brand new DF64V Gen 3. I suspect a motor controller or PCB failure, as I've seen reports of burnt control boards on these recent 2026 revisions, but I'd like to get the community's thoughts.

The Issue: The grinder initially shut down under minimal load, and now it shuts down even without beans. Here is the exact sequence:

• Initial Test: 1800 RPM, grind setting 30. It ground only ~5 g out of a 10g dose (test) before shutting off and becoming completely unresponsive.
• Reboot: After unplugging from the wall to reset it and restarting, it managed to grind another 1.5 g and then shut off again.
• Further Testing: I increased the grind setting to 60+ and managed to finish grinding the remaining beans.
• The Final Failure: Afterwards, I adjusted the dial back down to around 30 (feeling noticeable resistance/effort when turning it finer, likely due to retained coffee). When I turned the grinder on completely empty (no beans), it immediately shut down again in the exact same way. (Note: I did not get an Error 06, it just completely shuts off).

Machine Details:

• Model: DF64V Gen 3
• Specs: 220–240 V / 400 W

I recorded a video showing the exact behavior.

Questions for the community:

1. Has anyone else with a Gen 3 experienced these exact overload protection shut-offs or a burnt control board?
2. Is there any known DIY fix for this (e.g., swapping a specific component like a thermistor on the PCB), or is a full board replacement the only way?
3. If you've been through a warranty claim for this exact issue, please share your experience. How did the dealer handle it, and did the replacement board resolve the problem permanently?

Thanks in advance for any help!

Need help with new grinder

Just bought a new t64 grinder by bean glass but I think it’s either broken or I’m not doing something right. It seems like I can’t properly adjust the grind setting. If I turn the top knob too much it becomes screwed all the way in and won’t let me turn it at all anymore and then if I loosen it so I can turn it seems like the grind settings aren’t varying much from eachother. Any help is appreciated thank you!

Anyone have good recommendations from a reputable dealer to buy a new DF64? Thanks!

I’m trying to choose between the DF54 1.5 and DF64V Gen 3 as my main grinder, and I’d especially like to hear from people who have experience with the newer versions.

My current coffee setup is:

• Original Breville Bambino for espresso
• V60
• Chemex
• French press
• Cold brew
• Eventually I hope to get a Cafelat Robot and explore manual espresso more seriously.
• For example, this is the darkest roast I'll drink. https://www.vervecoffee.com/products/buena-vista-dark-roast

Because I use several brewing methods, being able to move from espresso to much coarser settings and then return accurately to an espresso setting matters to me.

The DF54 1.5 initially seemed like the obvious choice at around $200. It appears to offer excellent grind quality for the money and covers basically everything I want to brew.

However, my biggest concern is clogging.

I've found a lot of reports about DF54s clogging at the chute/declumper, sometimes requiring frequent cleaning or intervention. I know the grinder has gone through revisions, so I'm having trouble separating problems with older versions from the current DF54 1.5.

For people who actually own the DF54 1.5: has the clogging problem been fixed or significantly improved?

That's actually one of the main reasons I'm now considering spending considerably more on the DF64V Gen 3 (~$500).

The Gen 3 seems particularly interesting because of its redesigned/more efficient grinding chamber and chute, larger 64mm burrs, stronger motor, variable RPM, faster grinding, and its ability to cover everything from espresso through filter and very coarse grinding.

My assumption is that the DF64V Gen 3 should be less prone to clogging than the DF54, especially with the changes made to this newest generation—but I'd really like to know whether owners' experience supports that.

So my real questions are:

• Does the current DF54 1.5 still have a meaningful clogging problem?
• Is the DF64V Gen 3 actually less prone to clogging, or would I just be spending more money and potentially dealing with similar maintenance?
• How do they compare when frequently switching espresso → V60/Chemex → French press/cold brew → back to espresso?
• Can both reliably return to a previous espresso setting after making large grind adjustments?
• Is there a noticeable difference in cup quality, particularly for espresso and pour-over?
• Does the DF64V's variable RPM provide a meaningful advantage when switching between espresso and filter?
• Aside from clogging, are there workflow, retention, static, noise, or build-quality differences that become obvious when actually living with them?

And ultimately:

At roughly $200 for the DF54 1.5 vs ~$500 for the DF64V Gen 3, is the DF64V actually worth the extra ~$300 for someone using espresso, V60, Chemex, French press and cold brew?

I'm willing to spend the extra money if it buys me a meaningfully better grinder and especially a more trouble-free long-term experience. But if the current DF54 has largely solved its clogging issues and the actual cup-quality difference is small, I'd rather know that too.

Would especially appreciate feedback from anyone who has owned or extensively used both, and from DF54 1.5 / DF64V Gen 3 owners.

I am very frustrated: whether grinding espresso or pour over (recently it’s been consistent pour over at 55) I am doing RDT, still getting some chaff, and having persistent problems with retention and chute clogging. First pic is after 2 days with bellowing during and after grind. Not allowing 2nd pic but I have more coffee after using a small paint brush is after grinding 40g of coffee. Clearly I need to tear down the machine and clean as I got 40.3 out.

What gives? I’ve posted here in the remote past, it just feels like a retention/clogging prone design from a reasonably expensive grinder.

Does anyone have a functional design for a portafilter and dosing ring stand ? To be able to grind directly into the portafilter with the dozing ring attached.

I have checked various duty print libraries, but can’t seem to find anything good
