Gen 2

You can get a DF64 gen 2 for $399. I have one and i have really liked using it so far.

i've had a Niche Zero since 2021 and honestly yeah it's still great for espresso. the workflow is stupid easy - no bellows, no RDT needed, retention is like 0.1g. that said in 2026 the DF64 Gen 2 with stock burrs gives you more clarity for similar money. if you do straight espresso and occasional mi

I used to have this machine and paired it with the DF64 Gen 2 and was always pleased with the results. It’s efficient, not super expensive, gets the job done and looks nice in my opinion.

Kingrinder K6, embrace the handgrinder until you have money. Also...and maybe take a breath here...a nice electric espresso grinder isn't going to be 250...it's going to be 800 bucks (or more)...just be aware.

built in grinders are a trap - you'll outgrow them fast and cant upgrade separately. for $2500 get the DF64 Gen 2 grinder ($400) and Profitec GO ($900). that leaves $1200 for accessories. grab a normcore v4 tamper, wdt tool, bottomless portafilter, and precision basket. the rest goes to a scale with

I have loved my df64 gen 2 regardless of what everyone else says. No retention no fuss just align the burrs and it’s been a workhorse daily for like 2 years. It’s pretty cheap all things considered.

I've got an Arkel Coast and DF64 Gen 2 and enjoying the coffee I make. The Normcore accessories were pricey but I just couldn't resist tying all the walnut together. I've always considered upgrading the grinder but I make mainly milk based drinks for myself and the Mrs and I'm still enjoying my brew
