Mignon Silenzio

I upgraded from Eureka Mignon Silenzio to DF83V. I think it's finally getting seasoned now (two months in). Yes, it tastes better than the Silenzio (much better clarity). I've now taken it apart and run the alignment test on it and was delighted to find that it's perfectly aligned. I'm still not sur

The frustrating thing about a new grinder is that the burrs need to be "seasoned" (had 5 to 10 lbs of coffee thru them) before you really find out what your burrs taste like. I've just upgraded from a Eureka Mignon Silenzio to a Turin DF83V (I'm in it for 2 weeks now). Do the 83mm DLC burrs taste be

That's hard to answer. I think it's great, but I don't have a niche zero to compare it to. After I seasoned my DF83V for a month, I then compared it to my Eureka Mignon Silenzio (50mm flat burrs). I think it pretty much had the same body but the clarity was better. It kinda surprised me. In comparis

I had a Eureka Mignon Silenzio and went to buy a DF83. I did see there are some complaints about its de-clumper and lots of videos about how to clean the chute and the plasma generator. I also didn't like its Wave Spring design... however, I think most of my review of it was before the V2 came out.

I guess the benefits would fall into three categories: drink taste/texture, workflow, and maintenance. Your grinder's contribution the taste and texture of your drink comes from its "profile" of grind sizes (how much in each size region). The grind size distribution can look like a bell curve (tall

I would recommend a variable rpm grinder. I recently purchased a DF83V and did some brief testing to see what effect radically changing the rpm would have. I found the (extreme) rpm change gave the "fully-body / clarity" trade-off as has been oft reported. It was quite noticeable, and after enjoying

FWIW, I have a similar workflow, though my WDT is eyeballed. I use a pressure tamp with spring loading, very consistent puck prep. My (old, and new) grinders both set up for single dosing. I found a puck screen made a minor contribution to consistency. I use a vacuum canister for my beans. I went fr
