DF54 vs. DF64 | How Much Difference Can 10 Millimeters Make? (youtu.be)

It seems both produce nearly identical grind profile. The DF54 is slower.

I'm considering replacing a Sette with a DF54.

Does anyone have the DF54? Impressions?

I have 64 with SSPs, and loving it.

Wasn’t the Sette higher end than DF64?

I was totally not in the market for a new grinder, but the review was compelling and it's always encouraging to hear from satisfied customers. The grinder I currently have is quite nice, but I over-bought on size and have a hopper that holds nearly a pound of beans; I rarely grind more than a shot a day, for myself.

The 54 looks just about perfect, and it's nice to know that people with the 64 are happy with the build quality and performance.

Does the anti-static feature really seem to work, in your experience? Of everything, it seems the most questionable, but static is one of my biggest problem in my current setup. If the anti-static mechanism on these actually work, that alone would be worth the purchase!

That's what's happening in cafes with their EK43s anyway.

Mine is the OG DF64, anti static feature is not there. RDT. I got mine because of SSP compatibility and my Eureka Mignon is showing its age. And I wanted something that can handle espresso and filter.

It seems from the video as if that's the strength of the DFs: versatility. Frankly, my palette is not sophisticated enough to tell the difference between a dedicated espresso grinder and a general purpose grinder like the DFs.

My current grinder is a Pasquini Moka; it's a lovely grinder, it's just a lot of machine for 3x/w cappuccinos :-/
