I've been eyeing this single dosing coffee grinder and many of the Australian retailers are selling this for $429 (either free delivery or shipping and on backorder).
This is from the official distributor and was $389 + $20 shipping yesterday and has come down by $20 to $369 + $20 shipping for the 220-240V variant in white and black.
By far one of the more popular coffee grinders on the market and compared pricewise to the popular Baratza Encore ESP (is a bit plasticky) (although I'm comparing a chute grinder vs single).
Product Description:
DF54 is an entry-level flat burr coffee grinder that incorporates the best features from the DF64 II but in a more compact design. DF54 was designed in mind to provide the best quality coffee grind in the entire coffee industry at this price point. We are confident that the DF54 triumphs as the market leader among other 40mm and 54mm grinders in the market which produce clumpy and uneven coffee grinds. For an even better grind, do consider the DF64 Gen 2 which produces a superior grind quality and grind speed.
DF54 features custom-made stainless steel 54mm flat burrs for a fluffy grind with minimal clumping and consistent particle size distribution. The exit chute is equipped with a plasma generator (Ionizer) that eliminates static. The three seated positions for the upper burr carrier, along with the integrated wave spring, ensure absolute stability in the grinding chamber while achieving minimal retention at a new level. The integrated Anti-Popcorn cover enhances grinding speed and prevents uneven grinding.

They will all do the job but size improves the speed of which it grinds and generally reduces heat applied to the beans
