Know before you buy
The integrated plasma generator ionizes the coffee grounds as they exit the chute, which significantly neutralizes static electricity. This results in much less mess on your counter and ensures that the grounds fall cleanly into your portafilter.
The wave springs provide constant, uniform pressure on the top burr carrier. This enhances stability during the grinding process, which helps maintain consistent alignment for a more uniform particle size.
The grinder is designed for single-dosing and achieves less than 0.1 grams of retention. By using the included bellows to push air through the chamber, you can effectively clear out any remaining grounds between doses.
While the DF64 Gen2 is optimized for espresso with its precise stepless adjustment, it is capable of grinding for other methods. However, its primary design focus and burr geometry are specifically tuned to excel at espresso-range extractions.
The hopper is designed for single-dosing, holding up to 30 grams without the bellows or 80 grams when the bellows are attached. It is intended to be used by weighing out your beans before each individual grind.
The grinder measures 10 inches long, 5 inches wide, and 12 inches high. It features a solid aluminum body and weighs 15 pounds, providing a stable, heavy-duty footprint on your coffee station.
