DF54

Yeah from factory DF54 worked fine only for light and medium roast coffee and for Dark Roast it was clumping pretty hard Miicoffee thankfully mailed Metal De-clumper along with a chute upgrade for the ionizer and I am not seeing this issue for the past 4months since the upgrade. One more thing to en

The best bang for buck entry-level gear, IMO, is the Breville Bambino ($250) and DF54 ($250). Highly recommend a separate grinder as you can then upgrade one or the other as you like. You’ll also want a basic 0.1g scale, e.g. MiiCoffee Nano ($35).

Maybe not preference, but from what I've gathered from my recent purchase is that you can get an S-tier manual grinder for the price of a C-tier or D-tier electric grinder And the cost of entry is much lower. The cheapest reliable electric grinder option seems to be a Baratza Encore ESP ($200 USD),

I highly recommend getting six or so small 2 oz glasses and pulling a salami shot. Chris Baca explained it well years ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2aD33p4_fJo Basically sour means shorter/darker/cooler and bitter is the opposite end of the scale and longer/lighter/warmer.

I can't recommend something in the Eureka Mignon line enough. I have a Libra, but many below grind the same. Their product line is too complicated and it changes every year, I'm pretty sure to obfuscate and segment the market. So I made a break down of each Mignon here: https://www.reddit.com/user/d

I suspect the grinder is mostly the issue with consistency. And flavor. The minimum viable "adequate" grinder is roughly $250, the usual recommendations here being the Baratza ESP and MiiCoffee/Turin DF54, possibly the new Fellow Opus 2 (although definitely avoid the first one, speaking from experie

De DF54 (white label, dus onder verschillende merknamen te verkrijgen) is de best beoordeelde goedkope koffiemaler met een consistent resultaat. Alle onderdelen zijn los te bestellen (bv MiiCoffee, Aliexpress). Op Amazon gezien voor €255.

Amigo, você já deu uma olhada no MiiCoffee DF64 ou DF54? Acho que são duas opções de moedor elétrico com um custo benefício legal com uma comunidade bem estabelecida, até. Outro moedor elétrico é o Shardor 64mm, que tem o custo benefício melhor ainda, mas acho que talvez menos robusto. O Tom's Coffe

EspressOutlet treated me well. MiiCoffee is another popular source for the DF54. Also look at the Encore ESP and the new ESP Pro and the new Shardor all metal 64mm flat grinder at about $250. Great choices now compared to when I started just about 3 years ago. Pax

As others are saying, the grinder is actually more important than the machine. There are super cheap ($150) espresso machines all over Amazon that will do well enough. But the minimal grinder is about $250 (Baratza ESP, MiiCoffee/Turin DF54, Fellow Opus 2). So I'd say that combo is what you want. Th
