df64 df64v
variable speed, flat burrs, small footprint for serious espresso
the df64v gen 2 is a slim, single-dose flat burr grinder with 64mm dlc burrs and variable rpm control, setting it apart from the standard df64. the plasma ionizer cuts static, retention stays under 0.1g with bellows and rdt, and burr swaps are straightforward. stock dlc burrs shine on medium to light roasts, especially with milk-based drinks. it rewards users willing to work with bellows and rdt, and punishes those who skip those steps.
what it does well
- variable rpm control lets you tune performance across different burr sets
- slim 100mm wide body with a small footprint
- burr swaps are easy, with aftermarket options like ssp and gorilla gear dlc fitting the platform
- plasma ionizer reduces static and keeps retention under 0.1g when used with bellows and rdt
where it stops short
- requires bellows and rdt to manage retention and static, no direct portafilter dosing
- stock burrs favor medium to light roasts, less suited to darker profiles
- not competitive on retention with grinders like the niche zero or lagom p64 without bellows use
