The Single Dose Espresso-Filter-Coarse Grinder is worth every cent. Big on value, small on drawback costs.
No Retention (Single Dose)
Did you know that coffee grounds stuck in the nooks and crannies of your grinder stale over time, and create unappetising flavours in your next cup of coffee? Thankfully, the D64 Grinder has a streamlined design where coffee grounds fall out smoothly, translating to dust-like amounts of grounds left in your grinder. This ensures that you never have to waste coffee purging old grounds or banging the grinder in all directions, leaving you less frustrated and with several extra doses from your bag of coffee! Most importantly, you get to taste the optimal flavour in your coffee.
Value
The DF64 is a sturdy and reliable grinder built with pricey and professional parts. It is fitted with 64MM ITALMILL flat burrs made in Italy for fluffy durable burrs. Titanium-coated ITALMILL burrs also provide longer-lasting burr strength (titanium is 4 times more durable than steel). Furthermore, DF64 Grinders have a larger motor (two-thirds the size of its casing), as compared to the smaller substandard motors seen inside the Niche Zero. Undoubtedly, at its economical price point, it is impressive to see such quality parts being used.
Speed
The DF64 grinds fast compared to any of its competition in the 64mm and below range due to its powerful motor. For a benchmark, it grinds faster than the Niche Zero.
Flat Burrs
Majority of espresso drinkers prefer flat burrs because you get to taste more flavour and depth in your coffee as compared to conical burrs. Well, the debate goes on, and to each their own. By solely looking at the trend in commercial cafes and influential grinders in the market (Mahlkonig EK43, Mazzer ZM & Lagom P64), statistics do seem to indicate a consumer preference for flat burrs.
