MiiCoffee DF54 Single Dose Coffee Grinder (Black)

Before purchasing the DF54 Burr Grinder, I conducted extensive research on burr grinders. Most reviews highlighted the DF64 and DF54 as the best options for the price. While the grind speed and replacement burr options differed [DF54 doesn't have replacement burrs availabe yet since it is a new model] between the two, there wasn't much difference in grind quality. Based on this, I opted for the DF54. I've been using the DF54 Burr Grinder for the past three weeks, and it has truly elevated my coffee-making experience. Here’s why I’m so impressed: Grind Consistency: The DF54 delivers a consistently even grinds every single time. Whether I'm grinding for an espresso or a French press, the grind size is uniform, ensuring a good extraction. This consistency has significantly improved the taste and aroma of my coffee compared to my old conical grinder. User-Friendly Design: The design of the DF54 is both sleek and practical. It is very easy to adjust the grind size. The clear markings on the dial allow me to switch between different grind sizes effortlessly. Additionally, the grinder is relatively quiet, which is a big plus for those early morning coffee sessions. Anti-static apparatus appears to be working great, I haven’t experienced any static issue. Durability and Build Quality: The build quality of the DF54 is impressive. It feels solid and well-constructed, which gives me confidence that it will last for years. The burrs appear to be made of high-quality stainless steel, which not only ensures a precise grind but also enhances the longevity of the grinder. Excellent Value for Money: Considering the performance and build quality, the DF54 offers exceptional value for its price. I think it matches or outperforms many higher-priced grinders on the market, making it a great investment for both novice and experienced coffee drinkers. Overall, I couldn't be happier with my purchase of the DF54 Burr Grinder. It has made a noticeable difference in the quality of my coffee, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to upgrade their coffee grinding setup. Five stars all the way!

My previous grinder was conical and not bad to start with. However, it does not go fine enough for good espresso. I decided to buy this one as a replacement and I can't be happier with it. It is built of metal like a tank and I don't doubt that it will last. Even the power cord is wrapped in flexible high quality insulation. I only wish it had a 30 second power cut-off timer so I can leave it be and focus on the coffee machine in the meantime. It is very easy to use and much quieter than my conical grinder. It produces unifomr grounds which make tasty espresso even with my inexpensive De'longhi ECP3420. I upgraded to a bottomless portafilter and that brought my morning espresso an extra notch up. My main gripe with the morning espresso procedure now is to run it while sleepy. I use medium and dark roasts. The medium roast never produced a static field with either of my grinders. The dark roast used to make very bad static with my previous grinder, but a tiny spray of water on the beans removed it entirely. This grinder does not exhibit static with either roast type but I still toss a wet hand on the dark beans just in case. I can imagine how messy static can be given the cup does not close around the exit chute. The motor is plenty powerful and sounds the same regardless of whether idle or grinding. No signs of struggle.

Coming from a Capresso Infinity and then Breville Smart Grinder Pro, and having spent some time with a gen 1 DF64, I wanted a grinder that would allow me to switch between espresso and pourover, and regular and decaf beans from drink to drink. One grinder for everything. The DF54 is an appealing option as it's affordable, single dose, stepless, and compact. At first I really liked this grinder. It's small! It's quiet! It makes incredible espresso! However, after making a few drinks the grinder clogged on some dark decaf beans. After a thorough cleaning it clogged randomly. Medium roast espresso grinds did best, but I also experience clogs on some medium roast Blue Bottle Beans (at 5am! The worst possible time!). Other users complain about clogs as well - see Youtube user CaffeMartellaSingapore's video on Feb 15, he shows that simply by dosing an extra 7g of beans his DF54 clogs. The reddit r/df54 sub is absolutely chock full of people complaining about clogs, this is not an isolated issue. While the coffee this grinder makes is excellent, and the small size, low price, and quiet operation would make it ideal for home use, the clogging is incredibly frustrating. After agonizing over options I finally ordered a DF64 and while it's larger, much louder, and more expensive, I would strongly recommend it over the DF54. It handles the same beans at the same grind settings with alacrity. Far more confidence inspiring, and lower retention. My unit might just be a dud, as plenty of people don't complain about clogging, and the Turin grinders seem to suffer from quality control issues. If the DF64 didn't exist I would keep this grinder as an espresso grinder and use a different grinder for pourover. However, given that the DF64 does exist, costs the equivalent of a few bags of coffee more, and performs tremendously better, just buy a DF64. Pros: Excellent espresso Compact size Stepless adjustment Low retention Very quiet operation Cons: Small dose size Slow grind speed Static-prone plastic dosing cup Terrible clogging issues make it extremely unreliable to unusable. Two week update: I bought a DF64 and making 8 double shots a day with a variety of dark and light, cheap and expensive beans - zero issues whatsoever. Just some static and it's a bit loud. No clogs, no retention, I haven't had to disassemble anything. Tremendously less finicky than the DF54. Which is too bad, because if the 54 worked reliably I'd keep and recommend it. Six week update: DF64 has never had a single issue. I have also been experimenting with a Kingrinder K6 originally bought for travel, but find that it works incredibly well for espresso. Zero retention, easy grind adjustment. If you're just beginning with espresso I would recommend a good hand grinder. It's far easier to learn with than a cheap electric grinder. I would take a K6 over a DF54 if I were on a tight budget. Four month update: the DF64 has clogged once in four months, where the DF54 clogged at least half a dozen times in two weeks. Same users, same coffees, same workflow.

Absolutely amazing grinder for the money. Too bad my cat ate the rubber portafilter holder while I was away 🥹

Well built and grinds perfect for espresso going as fine as you like! Has some weight to it and the construction is great…..definitely good build quality. No hesitation in recommending although you have to be patient as it takes a couple of weeks to arrive.👍

Oggetto di design ..pesante ben assemblato..ero dubbioso sulla macinatura fine per espresso viste le recensioni ..invece ottima resa con filtro a pressione e tacca 10 adesso proverò il cestello IMS con portafiltto vuoto per esaltare la schiuma..caffe in grani dark della Costarica

Tolle Mühle, nicht laut, klein, schwer (sehr standfest) grosse Einstellmöglichkeiten, mahlt gleichmässig, super Maschine für diesen Preis. Gebe sie nicht mehr her :-)

Excelente.
