▬▬▬▬ About ▬▬▬▬
he DF64 made waves as the first of many “Niche Killer” grinders for the home with 64mm flat burrs, a relatively smooth albeit messy workflow, great performance, and an attractive price tag.
But it still couldn’t hold a candle to the clean workflow of the Niche Zero and definitely lacked in the overall build quality department. Following the DF64 we’ve seen a plethora of grinders with new ones dropping seemingly every week, all trying to achieve this “race to the bottom” with the best price to performance ratio.
With the Gen 2 release of the DF64, Turin has truly struck that sweet spot in the price to performance ratio while improving upon the build quality with workflow improvements and is easily my new go-to recommendation for an all-rounder grinder capable of both espresso and filter in a $400 package. This is the new Turin DF64 Gen 2.

What do you think about the new DF64 Gen 2? Is this the best 'budget' all-rounder grinder?

I got mine (DF64 Gen 2 Vers 1) a few weeks ago (first batch with the red button) and I love it! Simply amazing value! My Mazzer Super Jolly is now for sale after 7 years of fateful service! I have both the white (office) and the black (home) and can assure everyone, there is next to no mess. I've been in the game for over 25 years and I've tried all kinds of grinders from $150 to $2,000 and this is THE ONE I'll be keeping. Noise level seems acceptable to me.

Just got mine. First thing I noticed, it’s heavy. Very solid build and tight tolerances. Maybe I’m just used to my old OXO grinder, but this didn’t seem very loud to me. It grinds fast, or just faster than what I’m used to. So far, really liking it.

I received mine a week ago and i could not be more pleased! Very easy to adjust and fine tune light roasts. Got a bit more balance and aromatic shot than before.

Great video! How do you compare it to the Eureka Specialita in the background? A few good deals on that at the minute so it’s a touch cheaper than the DF64 Gen 2

background is a eureka libra! libra is espresso focused so i wouldnt say its an allrounder like the df64. i believe the specialita is also espresso focused

@itsXris Hi, thanks for a great video 👌 At 6:37 the lid is showed, and it looks like light oak. I have pre ordered the gen 2 and I think it only comes with dark walnut. Did you custom order the lid from factory or did just come that way without you asking?

I would go for it, you'll definitely be able to achieve that with this grinder, If you have extra budget, the 83 will get you there even further

@andrewdavis9438 9 ай бұрын

I've had bad luck with Turin products. My Gen 2 still had bad retention so I stuck with my Eureka. I'd wait for the new Eureka Zero. Same price as the DF64 and has so many more features. Saw it at Host Milano last week!

Go for the DF83 if money is not an issue. Its basically same but larger, and hence grinds faster

@christofaraikon4995 imo you'll get a little higher clarity in the cup with the 83. espressos are comparable because the 83 does a nice traditional style shot, but body is lighter and more tea like with the 83

How is it compared to Niche duo ?

@LimitedWard 9 ай бұрын

Lance Hendrick recently made a video comparing the DF83 against the Niche Duo. Not a 1:1 comparison to the DF64 Gen 2, but the features/workflow should be about the same.

@itsxris 9 ай бұрын

The DF64 is better performance for the price, but personally I do like the Niche Duo a little bit more for filter. Pretty indifferent on either for espresso.
