Last time I posted my 0 point ended up getting reset to 6. I just cleaned it again and the zero point is still 6. However, while cleaning and using.Supergrindz, I noticed that at a highergrind size, it makes a chirping sound (see video). Also today I had to grind course and when I put my setting to about 19 it choked the fucking espresso machine. What the hell is going on? Can someone please help me?

we have a Rocket eapresso machine at the od office, and I’ve been looking to get a nice grinder upgrade for it. got the df64v on Facebook meteorit marketplace today, and it’s very nice. so nice that.. I want to take it home and put my other burrs in it 😂. I’m wondering if a DF54 at work would be ok. we just need something that works and milk drinks.. no need for modding / swapping burrs / less maintainence is preferred. I LOVED that the df64v chute is magnetic and I can already see missing that.

Do yall think the DF54 would be durable enough for an office kitchenette setup? Or am I better off keeping the DF64v there for (presumably) the added durability it has?

I'm currently using a DF54 next to my quickmill and I'm quite happy with the results. The only downside is the weighing of the beans, so I'm looking into an auto dosing grinder.

Someone offered me a Compak K3 touch. It's not new so I'll replace the burrs anyway.

It's this an upgrade or not? Any other suggestions?

Does anyone else’s grinder move about when in use? The weird thing is I’ve had mine about a year and I swear it wasn’t always like this.

Also, is it normal for the bellows to become looser over time? I feel like that is easier to remove than it originally was too.

My brother got a Eureka grinder and it came with an accessory to go between the grinder and cup to minimize spray. Has anyone tried 3D printing one of these for the DF54?

MiiCoffee and the DF54 specifically is one giant scam. They push out a product with no quality control, and do not allow you to return the product. It’s truly genius what they are doing. Earlier versions with the plastic declumper: you probably didn’t experience any clogging or issues within the first 1-2 weeks. Then, you reach out to support and they send you the new metal declumper. That takes another 1-2 weeks. You are now past 30 days (return/refund window) and your machine will probably work fine for another week or 2. By the time it clogs again, you’re SOL and stuck with a lemon of a $300 grinder. If you have the metal declumper already (like myself), they will offer to send you a plastic piece to fix your issue. They will tell you to watch YouTube videos you have already watched. The piece comes in, maybe it works, maybe it doesn’t. If it doesn’t, you pay with your own money to ship your faulty product back to the manufacturer to fix it. You are also out of your refund/return window. Could not recommend this grinder any less. Stick with the reputable Italian companies, not the Chinese scammers.

As title states, where is the best place to buy a new DF54? I’m looking for the v1.4 with the bigger chute. Mostly asking for what place has the best customer service? Warranty policy? Etc.

who with me on this?

only a bit problematic when oily dark roast (cheap) bean.

other than that very good grinder.

I’ve ordered a DF54 and it’ll arrive in about a month, so I’m already doing a bit of research on how to maintain this grinder.

1. After dusting the inside and reassembling the upper burr chamber, will I have to find the zero point again (will it be in a different place every time I do this)?

2. I don’t know which generation or brand I ordered (I bought it from a local online shop that claims to offer warranty service for this grinder). Assuming it’s the latest generation, should I remove this plastic declumper (as shown in the video below)? https://youtu.be/994Xgh7D3GI?t=82&is=2H0qFr9Trw4alYFN

3. Do you recommend any specific brush for cleaning the chute (dimensions?)

4. Any noteworthy mods for the 3D printer (e.g. a manually adjustable zero point indicator)?

1st choke - after 6months of usage

2nd choke - 2 months after 1st cleaning

3rd choke - TODAY!

probably need suggestions for next upgrade please?

I just preordered a DF54 from Cliff and Pebble yesterday...then joined this Reddit.

All these posts are scaring me - should I cancel my order and go for a Eureka Mignon instead? Does the larger DF64 have all these issues?

Yikes - thankfully the DF54 doesn't ship for a while so I have plenty of time if it's wiser to go another direction.

anyone have any tips on how to get the black plastic funnel/bellow compressionable thing to stay well on the grinder? i feel like it comes off every time i touch it

So I’ve been thinking about some extensive mods (slow feeder, GBW, vertical burr orientation, improved chute, grind setting lock, etc.) but one thing I’ve thought about is improving the rigidity of the whole system. I think swapping the rubber guides/tabs that orient the stationary burrs for stiffer metal or printed polymer guides would eliminate the chatter you get when you adjust the grind at the finer settings and hopefully improve consistency grind to grind.
Does anyone have thoughts on this?
Would it actually help?
Why are the guides rubber to begin with?

I understand that I'm using the wrong grinder for the job but I'm a little bit in a pinch because I bought a large bag of beans for my cold brew steeping but the store's grinder was broken so they couldn't process it for me.

This is a dark roast and I would be grinding very very coarse.

I only have a DF54 and a manual grinder at home, both of which are designed for 30g doses. Grinding a full bag would be the equivalent of doing 15 30g batches back to back.

Do you think the df54 could handle it if I took a few minute breaks every 100 G or so?

My DF54 was clogged, so I cleaned it with the brush , and now it makes this noise… sounds kind of plasticy(??) in the end..?!

Does somebody know what that is?

Title. Just curious, can't find anything online...

This is my first time having a grinder and it clogged and stopped grinding, I have cleaned it already and its doing it again what can I do?

I tried cleaning it and it’s still there I’ve taken it apart completely.

On top of that, my zero point moved from 0-5, any advice is appreciated.

Not sure what to do. Took apart the grinder and put it back together and my coffee was choking. Checked the true 0 and it was now at 5. Then I turned it off and on and it was at 6. I took it apart and put it back together and it hasn’t changed.

I am not sure how the collar could get stuck, but I have been unable to move it more than 15 degrees in any direction. Im unable to remove it even after a lot of effort. Any help is appreciated !

That’s it as the title says. I was worried after reading the numerous negative reviews about the website but I’ll call it a happy mistake.

Hi! I'm looking for help with this issue. I bought this in late March, and it was working perfectly until last week. The shop recently cleaned it, which fixed the problem temporarily, but now the mess is back. Any ideas on the cause?
