Coffee grinders beta · DF64
Owners keep the DF64 gen 2 as a hefty, easy-to-use grinder that some find very consistent, accepting rough finishing and a flimsy grind dial as the trade-off.
Owners are divided on grind consistency. The DF64 owners who praise it say it is very consistent and simple to use, and one credits a slow feeder for that, but an equal number of accounts on this theme were negative.
Build quality is a clear complaint. One owner describes a heavy, substantial unit with obviously rough manufacturing and poor quality control, and says the cheap grind dial came off the first time they cleared a clog.
The DF64 Gen 2 is an electric flat-burr coffee grinder from Turin. You weigh out the beans for each cup and grind them fresh, one dose at a time. It is for home espresso and pour-over drinkers who want a capable grinder without paying commercial prices.

From the maker's spec page, checked October 8, 2026. A blank row means the maker does not state it.
Stepless adjustment means there are no fixed clicks, so you can make very small changes to the grind until a shot tastes right. The 64 mm burrs are a common size, so many upgrade burrs fit. It only holds about 50 g, so it suits weighing each dose rather than filling a hopper for the week. At about 15 lb it is heavy and will stay on the counter.
Pick up to three. You get a page with just those, side by side, on the subjects owners raised.
For the owners who are happy with it, the appeal holds up in daily use. They describe a grinder that is easy to work with and produces very consistent grounds. One owner on the gen 2.5 says they are delighted with it and links that consistency to running it with a slow feeder. The size and weight also count for something: it feels like a serious piece of equipment on the counter, not a plasticky one.
What owners learn to live with is the finish. One owner who likes the heft still points to rough manufacturing and calls the grind dial the weakest part. Expect a well-built core with some details that feel cheaper than the rest of the machine.
The motor and grinding mechanism draw no specific complaints in these accounts, and owners who praise the consistency are still using the grinder. The failure that does get named is the grind dial: one owner had it come off during their first declog. Their main criticism is about that dial and the quality control, not about how the grinder performs.
The long-term evidence here is thin. Few accounts describe more than early ownership, and several comments filed under these themes are mainly about other grinders, not the DF64 gen 2. So the DF64-specific record on durability is smaller than the theme counts suggest, and there is not enough here to say how it holds up over years.
From 1 owner account that said how long they have had it. Own one? Add how long yours has lasted.
Nothing with a clear majority yet. Owners who raised these subjects were split, or too few to judge.
Counted from the owners who raised each subject, not from everyone. A subject is judged once at least 4 owners raise it.
18 more subjects came up from fewer than 4 owners each, which is not enough for a fair reading. To see how it stacks up, compare it with another machine.
The same owner, asked again at each point. Fills in as owners answer.
Two questions: how long you have had it, and anything you would like to say about it. Then we ask again as it ages. This helps our mission.

Before you buy one used, ask the seller: how old it is, whether it was ever repaired and by whom, and whether any of the parts above have been replaced. Ask to see it run. A receipt tells you the warranty start date; most makers honour the term only for the first owner.
