#df64 — Public Fediverse posts

Well, that was one shitty #coffee!
Bough another kilogram of affordable supermarket coffee to finish seasoning the burrs of my #DF64 Gen2 grinder with a total of 2,5kg.
Which is a compromise between food waste and necessity.

But somehow those beans instantly clogged up my grinder so badly, to the point where it was actually stalled out.
Grind chamber completely blocked, burrs clogged, flapper blocked, exit chute clogged.
Katastrophe der Bohnen! o.o

Look at this shit that I arduously scraped out of my exit chute (after actually blowing it out o.o), careful not to damage the electrodes of the anti static device.
I mean, WTF was this coffee? <.< Never had this before.

Ended up having to buy another kilogram of coffee beans to finish seasoning and had to throw that stuff away.
Which kinda sucks as I am not a big fan of wasting stuff like this.
But I really didn't want to risk my grinder again!

And with all that, here is my new little beauty.
Aligned, 1,5 kg of coffee ran through for a first seasoning of the burrs and ready to rumble.

Already pulled a few shots today and the flavor profile of the Gen 2 burrs is really interesting.
It is more acidic than the than the good old Italmill burrs of the Gen1 (which had a very classic flavor profile), but not so that it drops into a harsh sourness.

I also get some new fruity names from my current coffee (Apas by Die Kaffeemacher:innen) that I didn't taste before.

There is also a noticeable sweetness which like.
And it gives me a pretty syrupy, thick bodied shot. Not as thick as the Italmills, but a thicker than the ones that I got from the Timemore 064s.

So, first impression is very positive!
Nice profile, almost no static, clean, quite fast & sturdy.

Downside: it's not a quiet grinder, which I knew before.
And it has no variable RPM, which I honestly haven't used that much on the Timemore before I sold it.
I would adjust the RPM when using the DF64 Gen2 for both espresso and filter.
But since I do have a dedicated filter grinder (My good old Fellow Ode 2), I am not missing much, to be honest.

Mods:

• 3rd printed, magnetic stand for my Weber blind shaker
• 3rd printed vernier scales, which makes dialing in my shots for much more convenient then the stock dial indicator(thanks to @Kuraiko for the prints!)

What I find amazing, especially compared to the #DF64 Gen1, which was notoriously messy and had huge problems with static build up (I still like the grinder), the DF64 Gen2 is sooo much cleaner.
Which is thanks to the redesigned burr chamber and an ion generator in the exit chute, which helps to break static and prevents the coffee grounds to fly all over the place.

Even after running through 1,5kg of coffee, there really isn't much buildup.
It was just vacuumed with a small hand held vacuum cleaner to remove loose grounds

And after the burr aligment was done, I ran about 1,5 kg of cheap beans through the grinder to start seasoning the burrs.
What I found incredible, is that the #DF64 Gen 2 just plowed through that.
I think the 1,5 kg took me about 20-25 min to grind through.
After that the grinder was warm, but really aced it.

I will run another 1 kg of beans through it when the shop opens again tomorrow and I am home from work.
But I think 2,5 kg is a good starting point for new burrs.
Already tried a few shots today to learn about about the flavor profile those burrs will give me in the future.

I uploaded my first 3D model! And in true fashion it's coffee related. I needed an adapter for a DF64 grinder to hold an Ikape metal 54mm dosing cup. I had lost the original plastic catch cup and it was going to be used with a Breville Bambino so 3D printing to the rescue! When finishing it I put a bit of vinyl fake walnut veneer in the bottom to ad contrast to the piece and match the wood accents of the grinder.

New coffee grinder on order

Coffee is an essential of life and taken very seriously at Chez Muffett, although I don’t regularly throw enormous amounts of money at anything else other than actual beans; instead my goal is to wring as much value out of what I can afford to get on a budget.

But my beloved Baratza Virtuoso is finally showing its limits re: what I can grind for espresso, so it’s time for an upgrade.

A DF64 with a spare set of espresso burrs are on order. Watch this space for a hopeful uptick in productivity.

It arrived!

Slightly ironic, though, because I really have the espresso dialed in well with the manual grinder. 😁🤔

#espresso stuff

The FOMO was strong with me this weekend... after I watched a couple of tests of the #DF64 #G-iota / #Turin Gen 2 . :blobfoxlaughsweat:​

Personally, I think the DF64 Gen1 already produces fantastic grinds for #espresso and the flavor profile of the #Italmill 64mm flat burrs really play to my taste.
It's a great grinder, especially at this price point of ~400 Euros when I bought it earlier this year and I love it.
(I also love my Fellow Ode with the Gen2 burrs for filter, but that is another story).

But, the DF64 Gen1 has some kinks and small things that are a little annoying and hampers work flow and maintenance a bit.
Not enough to put me off the grinder (as I said, I still think it's great), but annoying at time.
Static is a thing, but can be kept under control with #RDT. Minor annoyance.
I think my greatest issues are the exit chute and declumper. And while the declumper V4 is WAY better than the V1, it has a couple of issues with cleaning and buildup.
Especially cleaning the chute is a bit of a chore and a bit messy.
So, that is something that needs to be addressed in the future and I am happy that @Kuraiko has already agreed to help me out with 3d printing a new chute that can be opened and cleaned and installing the Mythos declumper.

Now the new DF64 Gen2 was just released a few days ago ... and the company addressed a lot of those issues.
Including a new declumper (although I don't know how good that one is), a small plasma generator to eliminate most of the static and a chute that can be removed a bit more easily.
Also a new grind chamber for even less retention.
Basically, the new DF64 Gen2 is a shrunken down DF83 in looks and design.

Buuuut ... Europe grossly overcharges the DF64 Gen2 for over 500 Euros and that is not something I can just spend on a whim. Or ... want to.
Selling off my DF64 Gen1 would be difficult. And I probably won't get much, so an upgrade would still set me back a couple hundred euros.
So yeah .. FOMO. ^.^'
But I can't justify spending the money, especially because the DF64 Gen1 does produce great coffee (It's not like the Ode Gen1 where the burrs were .. not good).

Speaking of burrs... I might experiment a bit with the DF64 Gen2 burrs, when they are available separately (depending on the price). They seem to be quite nice.
Would they beat the Italmill Gen 1 burrs? I have no idea.
And I can't really justify spending 250 Euros for some SSP burrs, as much as they are tempting.

First world problems... hobby problems... "things that make happy and distract me from a lot of other problems" -problems.

We have a Turin DF64 Gen 2 in for review on CoffeeGeek.

Some insider stuff: I never reviewed the original DF64 or its variants because it always seemed a work in progress, one that required lots of hacks, mods, home upgrades.

The DF64 Gen 2 actually seems ready for prime time. Can't wait to put this plasma-equipped 64mm flat burr grinder through the paces!

@benny Als Fanatiker würde ich mich nicht bezeichnen, aber ein Bruder der selber röstet (https://nine5nine.com) macht natürlich einiges mit meinem Kaffee-Konsum.

Meine #GaggiaClassic kann trotz PID mit Deiner #Rocket nicht ganz mithalten, meine Mühle ist 'ne #DF64 (oder #GIota) und meine Waage eine #Felicita.

Stelle bei solchen Fotos aber immer wieder fest dass ich ganz dringend an meiner Sauberkeit an der Maschine arbeiten muss, deswegen kein Returfoto :)
