Overview
The DF64 Gen 2 addresses the common complaints about the original DF64 with improved build quality, better alignment, and reduced retention. The second generation refines the burr carrier design for tighter tolerances, adds an improved declumper, and features a more stable base. Stock grind quality is noticeably better than the original, and the platform remains fully compatible with aftermarket burr sets. The Gen 2 closes the gap between budget and premium grinders further, offering performance that was unthinkable at this price just a few years ago. For anyone considering the original DF64, the Gen 2 is worth the modest premium for its meaningful improvements.
The DF64 Gen 2 features a 64mm flat burr set, crafted from steel. The burrs spin at 1400 RPM, offering fast grinding for high-volume use. Grind retention is approximately 0.3g — virtually zero retention, making it excellent for single dosing.
At $399, the DF64 Gen 2 is aimed at serious home baristas who understand the importance of grind quality. Key workflow features include single-dose design (no hopper needed) and stepless grind adjustment for infinite precision. The flat burr design produces a more uniform particle distribution, prized for clarity and sweetness in the cup.
The DF64 Gen 2 is weighing 8.5 kg, manufactured in China, powered by a 250W motor. Its footprint measures 110 x 170 x 380 mm (W×D×H).
