    Not bad

    Edit was 999 when first posted

    • MarketingFrankies Beans @ Frankie's Beans on 14/11/2022 - 11:33

      It was never $999 with SSP burrs. Not sure where you are getting that information from.

      You can spend a lot more on grinders. This is entry level for some of the flat burr grinders. The popular Niche Zero is AUD RRP ~$1700 with only stock burrs.

    If you are looking for something similar then have a look at this and is highly rated among the OzB community.
    With Black Friday come up it is likely that there will be AU distributors/retailers that might get close to the EU pricing (after AU conversion with shipping).

    Eureke Mignon Specialita
    If you want the single dose hopper you can easily get this from AliExpress for about $70 AUD delivered.

      Eureka grinders can not be upgraded to SSP burrs so it's not an option if you are after SSP burr performance.

    Alternative brewing have this $849 - how much do the the SSP burrs cost?

    Seems like an OK deal

    Looks like coffee grinder prices have been skyrocketing the past few years.
    I wonder what the actual production cost is for a grinder like this.

  • Canberran on 14/11/2022 - 11:04

    Which version DF64 is this? I think they have made variations to the declumper in each?

    • MarketingFrankies Beans @ Frankie's Beans on 14/11/2022 - 11:29
      +1

      The latest V4 upgrade to the de-clumper is a step backwards with increased grind retention and increase of regrinding causing super fines. We have opted to not take the V4 upgrade as it did not perform well in our testing. There are a number of youtube videos and comments in facebooks supporting our results.

      • Canberran on 14/11/2022 - 12:32

        Yeah, from what I've seen
        Is this V3 then?

      Granted it is a niche, but OP could've made a bit more effort in the write up selling this item.
      This for e.g. probably worth mentioning. Still no idea what SSP is and why it matters.

      • Banj0 on 14/11/2022 - 12:02
        +2

        I think if you don't know, then it probably doesn't matter :-)

        Apparently some can taste a difference though. I know my conical hand grinder vs my Mignon Manuale (with a blower) produce a very different pour…something to do with particle consistency blah blah blah. I think I taste a difference between those, but I almost always have my coffee with milk, so it's probably in my head.

        I guess the burrs have the potential to really change the particle distribution though, which certainly changes the pour, and thus the rest of the experience. I can't think that it's down to anything more than the burr profile, and quality control aspects.

          Cheers mate. I agree, but always keen to learn new stuff, sometimes the real deal is in the comments. Who knows, maybe next time I've got $1k to burn I'll buy a SSP but grinder :-)

              @Canberran: Thanks mate, enjoyed the video. Actually subscribed. I only have a BES920 & BCG600 but if I had this kind of disposable cash would love to upgrade.

                @ShouldIBuyIt: Exact same boat with exact same setup. I've only JUST started down the world of trying to use my machine better and have gone down the rabbit hole. Happy to DM for further advice/discussions.

                But basically, the best/cheapest things you can do right now is better puck prep (like WDT) and consider a bottomless portafilter too :) Weigh your beans in/out of the BCG600 and don't use the hopper to store beans long term.

                • ShouldIBuyIt on 14/11/2022 - 14:34

                  @Canberran: Interesting you mentioned WDT, I started doing it a couple of months ago because I saw Anthony Douglas doing it but had no idea it had a name and doing it with a tool which it is not the original purpose. Will look at buying a proper one!
                  About not using the hopper, yes know about it but too lazy. It gets emptied in around 2 weeks tho.

                    @ShouldIBuyIt: No need to buy a proper "WDT tool" as WDT is just a technique "Weiss Distribution Technique". You can cheaply/easily make your own, as long as the technique is correct (distributing grinds and declumping them). In saying that, find it MUCH easier to do with a portafilter collar so you don't need to worry about mess and can WDT faster, would recommend that if you're already WDT'ing.

          Burr geometry and burr coatings definitely have an impact on coffee extraction as does conical vs flat burrs. We have done extensive testing on a number of burrs and taken TDS readings (Total Dissolved Solids) and each burr set was different. Which burr set is best? Well that is subjective depending what you personally like.

      • djmm on 14/11/2022 - 13:24

        It doesn't need a write up. This will be relevant to those who know only and they already know what it is.

    • mit on 14/11/2022 - 13:09

      When you're in the market for a machine over 3k, a 1k grinder isn't expensive and is even probably recommended.

      • MarketingFrankies Beans @ Frankie's Beans on 14/11/2022 - 13:26
        +1

        Often the case where people will drop big $$$ on a coffee machine then skimp on the grinder when the reality is the grinder often has a big impact to the quality of your coffee that your coffee machine can produce.

        • djmm on 14/11/2022 - 15:00
          +1

          I agree, assuming your espresso machine is not shit and can produce consistent pressure, I'd say grinder even makes more difference in end result.

  • carlJack on 14/11/2022 - 13:29

    This is good deal. It would have been fantastic if frankie beans sold this with declumper mod.

    • MarketingFrankies Beans @ Frankie's Beans on 14/11/2022 - 13:46

      Which mod are you referring to? We have found V3 to be the best declumper from the factory to date.

      • carlJack on 14/11/2022 - 14:12

        I havent used V3. I have a V4 which is pretty much unusable without declumper mod.Is the factory V3 declumper as good as mythos declumper mod?

        • MarketingFrankies Beans @ Frankie's Beans on 14/11/2022 - 14:33

          Yeah V4 declumper is not the best which is why we have opted for V3 for Australian stock.

          Not sure how V3 compares to the Mythos mod. What we have found is V3 works very well if you have the right bellow technique. Basically only start bellowing once all coffee has been ground and burrs are still moving. Not too much force is required and keep bellowing until you feel this slight pressure release. You will notice an audible difference as well.

  • originalfake on 14/11/2022 - 13:56

    Great deal if you're inclined to upgrade SSP burrs.

    Any deals for SSP cast burrs separately?

    • originalfake on 14/11/2022 - 16:08

      Will you be stocking the df83?

      I'm keen to upgrade to big SSP burrs

      • MarketingFrankies Beans @ Frankie's Beans on 14/11/2022 - 16:39

        Yes we will be stocking the DF83 and we are currently undergoing Aust/NZ certification as the grinder needs some changes to meet Aust/NZ standards. Plus we are working on some changes to the DF83 that will improve the grinder performance and workflow. Similar to what we have done with the DF64 we are placing some extra work up front for the AU/NZ market.

    • MarketingFrankies Beans @ Frankie's Beans on 14/11/2022 - 16:41

      No stand alone deals on SSP cast burrs at this stage.

  • trencky on 14/11/2022 - 16:56

    Are these the Silver Knight or Red Speed MP SSP burrs? is there any difference between the two other than the red speed rated to more KG? Thanks

    • MarketingFrankies Beans @ Frankie's Beans on 14/11/2022 - 18:19
      +1

      They are the Red Speed SSP MP burrs. Burr geometry is the same between the 2 however the coating will deal with heat transfer differently and potentially have an impact on flavour.

  • blues99 on 14/11/2022 - 18:32

    How do you do the alignment? Do you shim with foil and use a dry erase marker? If so, what threshold do you aim for ie. 90% wipe?

    • MarketingFrankies Beans @ Frankie's Beans on 14/11/2022 - 19:25
      +1

      We have developed some specific alignment tools that all Coffee Tech grinders go through. These tools were developed by us and are only used on Coffee Tech stock (ie AU/NZ stock). In addition to these we also align using the shim technique you refer to and we aim for at least a 95% threshold.

  • haggertm on 23/11/2022 - 22:15

    Bugger. I just bought one through the last deal from df64coffee.com. Wish this deal was around a week ago, I probably would have paid the little bit extra and opted for AU stock.

    • MarketingFrankies Beans @ Frankie's Beans on 24/11/2022 - 08:39

      Deal has been running since the 14th of November.

      • haggertm on 24/11/2022 - 11:17

        Thats strange, this is the first time ive seen it and i was searching DF64 every other day.

  • Bellenus on 24/11/2022 - 23:28

    Did you have personal testing results/opinions for each of the 6? Total burrs available as discussed in your previous deals comments? In any case, if I wasn't completely effed by life right now, I'd insta-buy

    • MarketingFrankies Beans @ Frankie's Beans on 25/11/2022 - 17:04
      +2

      It really depends on what you are looking to use the grinder for. I have tested them for espresso and all burrs produced a tasty espresso however there was a difference between each burr set. Now bear in mind this subjective as what I like and you like could be 2 totally different things. I ranked them as follows as most enjoyable espresso:

      1 - SSP Red Speed High Uniformity
      2 - Gorilla Gear
      3 - SSP Cast
      4 - equal SSP Multi Purpose & Itamill DLC
      6 - Itamill Titanium
      7 - Itamill Steel Burrs (not sold in Australia)

      Again this was just for espresso and for my pallet. The one thing that was certain they all performed well and produced a nice espresso some were just nicer than others. Also the gap between the steel burrs and titanium burrs was quite large.

      Still need to test for filter coffee.

      Hope that helps.

  • Bellenus on 25/11/2022 - 22:42

    Absolutely, thanks! It's thereabouts what I was expecting for the world of espresso I'm venturing into but I'll currently mostly be using Aeropress, will also brew pour-over and even French Press if I'm feeling sassy, so definitely expect the Multi-Purpose to top that list when you test for those brew methods which I'm very interested to hear your thoughts again
