MiiCoffee DF64 II Single Dosing Coffee Grinder (Black)

I have been using the DF64 II single-dose coffee grinder for a full week after switching from the Breville Smart Grinder. Here are the pros and cons I've noticed: Pros: - Much more consistent grind size. The DF64 II produces an even, clump-free grind. The Breville had some particle size variation and clumping issues. - Faster grinding time. The DF64 II grinds a 20g dose in just 8 seconds, compared to 23 seconds on the Breville. Cons: - Louder operation. The DF64 II is significantly louder than the Breville. This could be disruptive in shared living spaces like dorm rooms. - Retention issues. Despite claims of minimal retention, the DF64 II's chute accumulates some coffee particles due to static buildup. Pre-misting the beans may help. In summary, the DF64 II excels at grind consistency and speed. The noise level and retention are relatively minor drawbacks. Overall, it produces a more consistent grind that improves espresso extraction versus the Breville. In addition to espresso grinding, the DF64 II performs very well for other brew methods like pour-over and French press. It can grind coffee evenly at the larger particle sizes needed for these methods. P.S. MiiCoffee also sells an excellent, affordable auto-leveling tamper that perfectly matches the grinder.

Massively heavy, stable, and smooth. Sits rock solid on rubber feet. Motor has enough torque to spin the machine 1/2” if placed on a towel. Excellent grind. No clumping. No static. Finding zero is easy. Mine was set perfectly from factory. Medium roast does well at “12” in my machine. Quieter than the awful conical grinder I had before.

This coffee grinder is the best performing grinder that I ever owned. The ground are very uniform and the same setting produce consistent ground. One thing I really like about this grinder is how little coffee is retained in the grinder after I'm done. In my previous grinders, whenever I take them apart to clean, I always find quite a bit of coffee ground left inside the grinder, but not this grinder. Cleaning this grinder is also quite easy, just unscrew the top clean it with a brush or small vacuum and put the top back. I was worried by unscrewing the top, I would change the setting if I do not screw it back exactly the way it was first put together, but that was not the case. I have cleaned this grinder 3 or 4 times already and the grind setting remains the same after I completed my cleaning. The only thing I wish this grinder can improve is the noise. It is a bit loud when it operates, but since I only use it for 30 seconds or so every day, the noise does not really bother me. However, if someone is really sensitive to noise, then this grinder may not be right for them.

Excellent grinder for the money. Has the key features for a light-grade enthusiast such as myself needs to grind daily coffee. The bellows are excellent.

The MiiCoffee DF-64 replaced a 8 year old Baratza Forte (following its untimely demise). My first use impression was WoW! but that has tempered a bit after a couple of weeks use. The grind (for espresso) is quite fine with very narrow particle size distribution. When the ground coffee hits a water film it spreads outward quite quickly and evenly. The static discharge control works in unexpectedly. The collected grinds are incredibly fluffy. If the collection cup is mounted in that fork on the exterior, a bit of a mess is created. Not as bad as with the original DF-64, but still messy. So, I've taken to holding the collection cup right up against the discharge chute, but it can overflow. I may resort to stopping halfway, tapping it to compact the powder a bit, and then resume grinding to finish the dose. The grinder is billed as very low retention, but after making two espressos, using the bellows (which makes an airborne mess again), there is retention (left image). A quick vacuum cleaning (just a few seconds) does clean the grind chamber (right image). The grinds, when transferred to the portafilter cup (a 20g VST) form a clump that absolutely requires WDT distribution, a step never needed with the Baratza. The clump feels somewhat warm to the touch, so perhaps I should open the burrs a bit. The coffee is generally wonderful, but it appears that electrostatic induced retention leads to variation in extraction and flow from the first cup to the second - the first cup showing higher extraction @1.2 0 1.3 g/s, while the second cup frequently seems to be brewed from less coffee @1.5 - 1.7g/s. Again, the quality of the espresso is quite good tasting and full-bodied. Since this grinder cost a small fraction of the Baratza Forte, I'm not disappointed and I may have a few things to learn.

I bought my DF64 2 months ago. I came from a Baratza Encore ESP (which is perhaps the best $200 grinder) and this is a huge leap forward for my coffee. First of all, with the same beans I have developed new flavors and notes thanks to this grinder. Second, the noise. I don't know where people reads that this is the most noisy grinder ever because I use it everyday twice a day and it is more quiet than the ESP; and this leads me to the third reason: the grinding time. I drastically reduced the grinding time for my beans. I can grind 18 grams of coffee in a third of the time I could with the ESP, so: less time + less noise = more comfortable grinding. And last, the dial. It's very precise and I can dial my espresso and pour overs with accuracy, adding or taking off seconds of extraction with very little adjustments. Overall, a great grinder that payed off really quickly. Also the looks! The quality construction is beatiful. Noblesse oblige: this is not a rant against the ESP, which is a great grinder and has given me excellent coffee (espresso and filtered), but this is really a good upgrade if you have the money.

Funciona muy bien, cuando esta prendida apenas se escucha y el ruido que hace cuando muele el café no es malo para un departamento pequeño. Puedes encontrar muchos videos en internet para ajustar los molino si no vienen alineados de fabrica y piezas para mejorar la calidad en un futuro. Después de usar por años un molino manual se agradece la velocidad y calidad con la que sale el café de esta maquina. Ya la probe con Espresso (flair), Aeropress, V60, Chemex y no tengo quejas del producto. Como recomendación si cambias mucho de tamaño de molienda o de granos de café, cuidado con la retención. No tengo otro molino eléctrico para comparar la calidad pero estoy seguro que con este voy a estar contento por unos años, la calidad es comparable con las cafeterías que logran vender un buen café filtrado y un espresso muy fácil de ajustar a mis gustos.

I've been using a Breville conical burr grinder for years. I was excited to try this and it doesn't disappoint! The sound is a little loud when grinding, but otherwise no complaints so far. Great flavor profile coming out in my espressos

This is a fantastic grinder and is very solid and well made. I chose this particular grinder after quite a lot of research, reviews on both Amazon and YouTube and I'm not at all dissapointed. This is really easy to use providing all the grinding functionality that is needed for espresso coffee through to a standard filter (if you desire) making the adjustment range large. If like me you are mainly wanting to use this for espresso coffee grinding, the is really quite perfect for that. There are marked points around the adjustment, bu the grind setting is continuous so that you can find that perfect grind to get the best tasting coffee. Its really quite clean to use, despite what some of the reviews might tell you, and is really quite easy to clean or keep clean. This is not a cheap grinder by any standards, but you do get very much what you pay for. However, if you are considering this grinder, there are quite a few additional accessories that you could invest in and more importantly better quality burrs are available and highly recommended by coffee enthusiasts. However, they are not cheap to purchase either, but at some point in time when I have got some wear out of the burrs that the machine came with I will probably invest in a set of SSP burrs. Although this has been listed as MiiCoffee DF64, these grinders are manufactured under the Turin name and this one actually came from DF64Coffee despatched from Singapore. I was amazed at how quickly they despatched the machine, the tracking was amazing and it arrived at my door two days after it was despatched. Amazon had it down for a 2 week delivery wait, DHL had it down as a 1 week delivery, but they actually delivered in two days from Singapore. I don't think anyone could complain at that. Although there was a missing item from the box when I opened, the brush that they recommend you use to clean it, a note to the supplier via the Amazon site and they responded within a couple of days and are sending that out to me seperately suggesting that any support for this unit will be really good too. If you are looking for a really good grinder, even for home use like I am doing, I would highly recommend this one.

64mmの選択肢豊富な刃、挽き残りの改善、工夫。 問題があるとすればちょっとダサめのこのビジュアル。 シャレオツ系コーヒーラバーでなければマストバイ！ I love you , I need you DF64!!

Grinder was delivered fast and it's burrs are pretty much aligned out of box. it does grind very fine and also not much static thanks to plasma generator. Still it does get fairly messy compared to Breville smart grinder pro. However, grinder ground coffee effortlessly even the light roasted and result is very fluffy and clump free... Happy with purchase...
