Well well well, hello competiton. They recently listed a similar price one on eBay which mentions v3.2 so head scratch
I'd expect price drops of most single dose grinders due to the hype around the Mazzer Philos
It's 3x the price. Different category of interest.
Perhaps so but there is a cascading effect. It's more visible in the category above where a lot of niche zeros are hitting the 2nd hand market due to people upgrading. Getting a 2nd hand Niche for 750-800 compared with the DF64 - I know what I'd prefer.
Not sure why I'm being downvoted for a very mild opinion but hey, such is life
I’m wondering if this local stock comes with the plastic red or plastic white on/off buttons that’s shown in the stock image pics, which look a bit cheap and ugly in my opinion. The black DF64 I just bought last Friday when the Amazon.au $580 deal was posted that I received on Monday direct from the distributor come with a silver metal/stainless steel on/off button… Mine come with a black metal cup and collar too, not silver:
Wow, the stainless steel button looks much better, as does the black cup. Makes me feel glad that I ordered the Amazon deal now, if indeed this version ships with a plastic button.
@ j1nx - All of the DF64 gen 2 review and usage videos I’ve seen on YouTube have a plastic red or plastic white on/off button, so it definitely shipped originally with that style button. Agreed, I’m glad I ordered it from Amazon.au, and that the manufacturer has made some tweaks and revisions to the product, because what I received with stainless steel on/off button and black metal cup and collar with silver strip certainly looks more premium/higher quality than the original design. I should also probably check which burrs I received, the box said/had ticked standard stainless steel for the burrs, so I just assumed that’s what I was given, but wishful thinking maybe higher quality burrs were fitted too.
Same - though my cup is all black and doesn’t have a seperate collar. It came with an angle rubber part that can tilt the cup towards the spout seemingly instead
Have you contacted them about the missing piece? I’m sure they’d be happy to send you the collar free of charge, and even maybe a different colour metal cup (either the silver one or the black one with the silver strip along the top edge/rim that I received if the one you received is all black) because in the pic in the product description it’s different to what you received, therefore the product doesn’t match the description and what you thought you were buying.
The June 2024 batch is "Accessories - Metal Cup and Collar and New Burrs, Metal Switch" per their website. I'd be surprised if Alternative Brewing have this batch.
I think they have it, if you look at their customers review photos from 1 week to 4 weeks ago
Can this be used to grind pepper?
No, only herbs.
OK. thanks.
Damn, my order from DF64Coffee is already on the way. The DLC burrs would have been nice but ultimately on a home grinder the SS burrs will last its lifetime anyway. Killer deal.
Can always buy the dlc burrs separately as they are not that pricey. I have the dlc burrs and cast lab burrs. For the coffees that I make, the dlc burrs taste better.
Good to know, thank you. I’ll see how I go with the standard burrs and go from there.
Who would align those burrs?
Grrr just bought a Varia last week because I couldn't get a white DF64 under $600
Good deal. Bought direct from DF64Coffee with the DLC burrs for $80 more. Hasn't even shipped yet.
Thanks OP. Ordered a white one. Very curious to see how it pairs with my BDB. I've been using the Smart Grinder Pro for a few years now, and with a single dose 3d printed attachment for one. Couldn't really faulty the BSG (aside for the grind not being super precise when jumping between filter, aeropress and espresso grinds) but would love to see what kind of difference it makes to my espresso.

I am seriously considering a 2nd grinder, Eureka Mignon Specialita need to run for the money.
Dlc is on by default but the white color isn't what I wanted lol
Amazing price!
