Expert Analysis
The DF64 Gen 2 ($399) and DF64P ($549) are both from Turin's DF64 family. The Gen 2 uses 64mm flat steel burrs with stepless adjustment and 0.3g retention at 8.5 kg. The DF64P uses upgraded 64mm flat burrs with enhanced anti-static, 0.2g retention, and premium construction at 10.0 kg. The DF64P's burrs are higher quality than the Gen 2's stock burrs — better steel, tighter tolerances, producing a more refined cup. The DF64P's anti-static system is superior — less clumping and mess. The DF64P is heavier and more stable during grinding. Both accept aftermarket 64mm burrs (SSP, Italmill). With the Gen 2, most users immediately upgrade burrs ($100-200 extra), bringing total cost near the DF64P. The DF64P works excellent with its stock burrs, no upgrade needed. Both are single-dose focused. Verdict: The DF64P is the better buy — its premium burrs and anti-static system eliminate the need for modifications. The Gen 2 plus SSP burrs can match or exceed it but requires more effort and a similar total investment.
