DF64 (Turin/DF)
DF64
Good
Our score: 75 / 100
What we like
- Exceptional grind quality for the money once dialed in — enthusiast-favorite for a reason
- Massive aftermarket of burr sets, bellows, dosing funnels, and dials to upgrade every part of it
- True single-dose design with genuinely low retention when paired with a bellows
What we don't
- Bare-bones out of the box — stock experience feels unfinished next to a Fellow or Eureka
- No numbered adjustment reference on many units, making returning to a setting a matter of memory or aftermarket dials
- Support and warranty vary a lot depending on which importer or reseller you buy from
