    I upgraded from a baratza sette to the df64 1st gen and the improvement was amazing. Has been faultless for nearly 3 years.

    • NedStark102 on 02/08/2024 - 08:52

      Did you go with the standard burrs or grab one of the SSP options? What sort of beans do you typically lean towards?

      • RichieVn on 03/08/2024 - 10:22

        Go with SSP if you can ! It’s a lot better worth the extra. But not sure if Amazon has this option

        • G-rig on 03/08/2024 - 10:29

          How much all up with SSP burrs from the website? Sounds like you can get 10% off.
          Funny spending $600+ and still has design floors or needs modding.

          Probably to go with Amazon for the 2y warranty (easier to deal with at least).

          Any cashbacks that are worth it?

          • ClioB on 06/08/2024 - 20:47

            @G-rig: 1 year of warranty from what I can gather. specified in the product description

            • G-rig on 07/08/2024 - 03:22

              @ClioB: Yes I read that too, but others were saying ACL warranty of 2y applies for products being sold into Australia. Should be fine anyway.

    • tommynolips on 02/08/2024 - 15:04

      please don't tell me that, i only bought a baratza a few months ago…!

    • Amg88 on 02/08/2024 - 16:40

      How quiet is the DF64 compared to the Sette? The Sette is too loud and considering other alternatives. Nonetheless, a great grinder for espresso.

      • miicah on 02/08/2024 - 21:54

        Pretty sure the DF is quite loud

      • sAmiZZle on 03/08/2024 - 00:48

        Most grinders are loud tbh. They're grinding beans which is the loudest part, not the machinery inside the grinder. You might find some to be less annoying than others though based on the sound frequencies their burrs generate.

  • teacherer on 02/08/2024 - 07:01

    Sorta wish i got this instead of the niche zero for $1000

    • suburbanmale on 02/08/2024 - 07:10

      You might have paid more, but got the better grinder in my opinion

      • teacherer on 02/08/2024 - 07:20

        That was why I bought it.

        But dealing with 0.5-4.5g retention is unbearable for a zero retention grinder.

        • bs0 on 02/08/2024 - 07:57

          You can get bellows for the niche, that might help

          • teacherer on 02/08/2024 - 08:18

            @bs0: Yes and I think it would resolve it perfectly but the manufacturer recommends against bellows unfortunately

            • bs0 on 02/08/2024 - 08:58

              @teacherer: Oh really, sorry didn't know.

              Been using bellows on my niche now for a couple of months and it's been good so far.

              Another plus is that the bellow replaces the lid, and replaces the need to put the lid down to activate the grinder - so now the grinder is activated by the switch instead.

        • OzHan on 02/08/2024 - 08:19

          4.5g retention for NZ? thats unheard of.. my Eureka has approx 1-2g and with the aftermarket bellow it becomes a non-issue.

          • teacherer on 02/08/2024 - 09:04
            +1

            @OzHan: Yeah I've videod and sent it to them, they just said knock the side of the grinder which does nothing (and I did in the video).
            The 4g retention occurs exclusively with decaf (airjo).
            The 0.5-1.5g retention with regular beans from the likes of airjo, lime blue, and Inglewood.

        • Unotifoso on 02/08/2024 - 08:22

          My niche is not early that bad. I'd raise an enquiry with them. Their support is really quick and easy to deal with. They sent me a replacement part at no cost, out of warranty, within 3 days, from the UK. A+

          Edit: can provide video for comparison if you need

        • RAndyMelb on 02/08/2024 - 08:47

          Do you put a water droplet in the beans to get rid of the static?

          • Save Medicare on 02/08/2024 - 09:11

            @RAndyMelb: Yeah i agree. If it's only happening with the specific beans then RDT might help

        • shutuptakemymoney101 on 02/08/2024 - 14:12

          Do you use RDT?

            +1

            @shutuptakemymoney101: I don't.
            I believe niche recommends against rdt aswell, but i guess i need to either RDT or bellows against their recommendation hey?

            • b0mber0 on 02/08/2024 - 20:40
              +2

              @teacherer: I believe I read that they changed their minds about RDT, and I don't remember seeing mentioned in my manual. Anyway, I do it and my retention is ~.1-.2 g. Only 3 droplets and less when humidity is lower

            • DeToxin on 03/08/2024 - 09:06

              @teacherer: I would highly recommend RDT. Buy a $2 spritzer off AliExpress and you should see a big improvement. I do 2 sprays per dose.

              I wouldn't recommend bellows. You're mostly getting fines when you use belows. Also the area that ends up catching/retaining the grounds stops doing that for the most part once there's 0.5-1g in there. I do tap the dose cup on the wooden holder to get any clumps that are in the chute.

              • G-rig on 03/08/2024 - 09:52

                @DeToxin: A WDT tool is great, helps get the grind a lot more consistent with less than perfect grinders and doesn't add much time to the overall process. I wouldn't want any more accessories and knick knacks, makes the whole coffee making process a bit drawn out (but it's a nice hobby!)

        • sAmiZZle on 03/08/2024 - 00:50

          Check the ioniser is cleaned regularly or you'll get clumping

        Really? I was shocked at how uneven the grind was for filter; so many fines.

        • Pudina Chutney on 02/08/2024 - 07:47
          +1

          NZ doesn't do filter well. It's best suited for medium to dark roasts espresso.

        • worthy1 on 02/08/2024 - 08:48
          +5

          Yep, I went from a Niche to this DF64 and I wouldn't call the NZ a better grinder at all. The DF64 is better across the range of different grinds and the ability to change burrs if needed based on preference. The bellow also makes it so much easier to get as much out of it per grind.

          I only swapped since my NZ stopped working (motor stopped spinning, burning electrics smell). Had it for around 3 years so wasn't impressed dropping over $1k for what I thought would be a 'one and done' grinder.

          • OzHan on 02/08/2024 - 21:49

      As well as for cold brew.

    A cracking price for a great grinder, another option for around the same money for anyone looking is the Varia VS3.

    • boretentsu on 02/08/2024 - 07:41
      +1

      I paid about $100 less for the vs3. Great grinder. If the df64 was this price at the time, it would have given me pause.

      • Bilam on 02/08/2024 - 07:48
        -1

        I have the varia vs3 any reason to upgrade to this?

        • boretentsu on 02/08/2024 - 07:55

          None for me

        • redrich2000 on 02/08/2024 - 07:58

          The main difference between this and the VS3 is conical v flat burrs. The VS3 uses a slow rpm to try to mimic flat burrs but it's still conical. Flat burrs are better for flavour clarity, brightness and acidity. Conical better for traditional shots with body/texture etc.

          Apart from that, the DF64 grinds much faster but is a little less polished a product overall.

          I recently upgraded from the VS3 to the DF64v and and very happy with it.

      • shutuptakemymoney101 on 02/08/2024 - 14:16

        Same, considered the DF64 but ended up getting the Varia V3 gen 2, free postage offer at the time made it even more compelling.

        No regrets.

    • NedStark102 on 02/08/2024 - 08:53

      I have seen a lot of issues with VS3 motors dying on reddit. Unless this has been rectified i'd proceed with caution personally.

      • hawkers89 on 02/08/2024 - 09:23

        My motor didn't die by I am certain that the plastic gearbox died in my gen 1 VS3 which I saw is a very common issue (who woulda though a plastic gearbox would be a good idea?). I got a replacement under warranty which is the gen 2 with an all metal construction now. So far so good.

      • sargorn on 02/08/2024 - 13:22

        ^ This. I had the VS3 for about two weeks. It choked on some light roast and then magic smoked itself to death. Ended up refunding and getting a DF83 (v1) - overall pretty happy with the DF83, although some of the V2 upgrades would be nice to have.

        • shutuptakemymoney101 on 02/08/2024 - 14:23

          Varia brewing specifically warn about light roasts.

          https://www.variabrewing.com/products/varia-vs3-grinder

          ** Important note: VS3 has been made to handle both espresso and filter grind sizes, however VS3 may find underdeveloped light roasted coffees challenging at espresso settings (depending on the roast degree and type of bean), please ensure to take the upmost care while grinding underdeveloped light roasted coffees and ensure that you feed the beans in slowly or adjust your dose to suit a slightly coarser grind size. **

                    @OzHan: I wouldn't say I have noticed a massive difference. But I would say the df64 is still in the process of being seasoned.

                    I love the speed of the df64, the beans don't get stuck in the top chute either. I was always having to push beans into the varia that got stuck around the anti popcorn disc.

                    Plus the other massive difference is the ionizer in the df64 means I don't have to use RDT. I found the varia even with RDT was quite messy.

        funny spending a lot on all of these grinders and they still have issues and less than perfect.
        (ie price, reliability, coffee retention, mess, noise, weak motors).

        Good review here
        https://www.reddit.com/r/espresso/comments/18br93a/df_64_gen…

        The Niche Zero seems A LOT better but obviously 3x the price.. where do you stop lol.

        If Amazon had Afterpay I'd be tempted, still rocking the Sunbeam EM0480 and it's built like a tank. Back on Aldi beans at the moment (been getting LimeBlue) and still surprised how good the coffee is. A lot of it is care and technique, and besides the noise the introduction of a WDT Tool it's made the extraction a lot more consistent with minimal channelling.

      I think the common wisdom is that the grinder far more greatly influences coffee taste than the machine. Whatever your total budget is, the bambino is great and you could use the remainder on a great grinder and pull some great shots. You can upgrade machine down the line but it will probably minimally improve your extractions.

      I made the mistake of going hard on machine (BDB) with a cheaper grinder (breville smart grinder) - I really am struggling to get good shots with this grinder as the grind quality is so inconsistent.

        I definitely don't think the SGP is your issue. I had the SGP for years and had no issues getting decent shots. I would suggest that you wdt with the smart grinder as the grind comes out pretty clumpy. That will make a huge difference. What beans are you buying typically? That has the biggest impact on shot quality.
