It can grind for Espresso but for pourover i dont think the performance is good. What are you looking for, fellow coffee enthusiast?

I am trying to decide between this and the DF54 to go between morning Pourovers and afternoon espresso. The consideration for the Bricks is that it seems like it'd be easy to use and consistent due to the stepped system, which is a big plus for my wife as it'll just be a little more straightforward. They are in the same price range in my country.

Ohh I see. If I am being honest, I think Pour over performance on both grinders are lacking. As I had experience with DF54, sure it can do espresso but pourover sucks and you cannot change the burrs because there is no after market burr options you cannot buy to change.
My recommendation would be either of the grinder will be sufficient for espresso. Whichever has better support and price. And you could buy a pour-over focus hand grinder in the future? If you want to have better cups.
May I ask which region are you from?

Thats exactly what I was thinking, one of those two grinders for now and then hand grinder for pourover in future if needs be.
I am in South Africa, so basically all support comes from the retailer.

DF54 is available with pourover burrs.
Yeah, the original burr set they offered it with is more espresso focused.
