df64 df64 gen 2
a serious single-dose flat burr grinder for home baristas
the df64 gen 2 fixes nearly every complaint about the original. you get 64mm flat burrs that are close clones of ssp high uniformity burrs, stepless micrometric adjustment, a built-in plasma generator for static reduction, and near-zero retention. it ships with a 58mm aluminum dosing cup and accepts ssp, dlc, hu, and mp burr upgrades. at $399, it competes directly with the niche zero at roughly half the price.
what it does well
- near-zero retention keeps workflow clean and dose accurate
- stepless micrometric adjustment covers espresso through pour over
- plasma generator reduces static without extra tools
- burr seat accepts ssp and other aftermarket upgrades
- custom ssp-style burrs included at launch price
where it stops short
- flat burrs run faster and louder than conical alternatives like the niche zero
- 14.3 lb weight and larger footprint may not suit small counters
- higher rpm can generate more heat during longer grinding sessions
