Great review as always! I wonder how this would be like on a commercial setting?(ie. constant back to back shots)

@coffeechronicler 9 ай бұрын

They are a little bit vague on this. Given that the Niche is often used that way with a weaker motor, I'd assume light commercial duty should be okay.

Thanks for your review (as always). Saw this first pop up on IG covering one of the Coffee expos - and it looked really cool. Looks like it is well built, and does a good job. I guess if $ isn't an issue, then would look great on your countertop. I've been happy with my DF64V (and is less than 1/2 this price)

@coffeechronicler 9 ай бұрын

Thanks Brent! Yeah, after DF64V it's really diminishing returns on all parameters, so you have to be really into this espresso profile.

@brentroman 9 ай бұрын

@@coffeechronicler Yeah - I decided to get the DF64V in order to get an espresso-specific flat burr grinder. I already have the Sette270, which I like, and so can get conical profiles with that. And I use my SSP/Stepless-modded Ode for filter. (apart from when I manually grind).

@coffeechronicler 9 ай бұрын

The Sette is excellent for conical espresso, so it sounds like you have all bases covered. I currently run DF64V with SSP Cast and it's really the perfect allrounder with those burrs. Not to mention much less noise. @@brentroman

@brentroman 9 ай бұрын

One of the big selling points for me with the DF64V were that the stock burrs were those DLCs. I haven’t felt the need to swap them out, and while I do like my Sette 270, the DF64V is surprisingly quiet! Sometimes it’s even hard to hear if it’s on without any beans in the chamber. Pretty impressive. I HAVE felt though that the DF64V really benefits from RDT. Also- there really is a seemingly “seasoning” period with the stick burrs. Before I went through a bunch of beans, the static was noticeably more than it is now.

I wonder how does iit hold up to top conicals and hybrid grinders like Weber Key, Kafatek MC6, Versalab m4(or Titus/Hedone Honne) and Molar X and X2 and is it a Niche killer?

@coffeechronicler 9 ай бұрын

I don't have a direct head-to-head comparison at home with these titans, so hard to make a call. And you'll never hear me mention Niche killer, but more flavor separation, yes ;)

any thoughts on how to decide between Timemore 078S and DF64 Gen2? For both filter & espresso

@coffeechronicler 9 ай бұрын

I only have direct experience with 064s and 078. But overall, I guess that 078s, like the other two, is offering some of the best value at its price points. A plus for the DF64 Gen 2 is the better dial-in range for espresso and more burr options. But hard to go wrong with any of these.

@Val_Smith 8 ай бұрын

Do you think it would be a good companion to an electric siphon? I Feel standard v60 filter coffee just lacks the body for me.

@coffeechronicler 8 ай бұрын

Don't think this grinder will be the answer. Try my Hario Switch technique first and see if that helps. That will be a lot cheaper than getting a new grinder :)

@Val_Smith 8 ай бұрын

@coffeechronicler I will try blocking v60 hole for immersion, but think the paper filter will not let oils and small ground through resolving in thin body.

@@coffeechronicler thx did the stall and fall from on Hario switch it is good. Also got a dedicated 078 for pourover.

Hey I really like your content in terms of knowledge, engagement and style but can I ask you to increase the volume a bit? I like that you talk calmly unlike most shouting american youtubers but i find it very hard to hear on max volume if i have even the slightest noise nearby :(

@coffeechronicler 9 ай бұрын

Thanks for the kind words. Yes, I'll try to boost some decibels for the next one :)

@dabougi8063 Ай бұрын

Interesting - some other reviews say it is a stepped grinder (it snaps "into step" when locking) with about 25 microns, which is much. You are sure it is stepless?

@coffeechronicler Ай бұрын

Yes, the unit I have tested is stepless. I don't know if they have changed it since then, but don't think so.

@dabougi8063 Ай бұрын

Wow, thank you for the ultra-fast response. On their homepage they say "Stepped adjustment with safety lock" and also "Stepless-feeling grind size dial" This is a bit misleading on their part. However, thank you for your content, got my 1zpresso K Ultra "because of you" and it is indeed great

Interesting grinder but the build quality and price don't quite match IMO. Should be much closer to Niche price level..

Yeah, that's what often happens with start-up products where economies of scale can be challenging.

@Val_Smith 9 ай бұрын

When you see how much Molar X or Titus cost you might rethink. It costs around the price of Webber key, has better workflow. But if they would have priced it at 1000k they could dominate the market.
