The Bottom Line: It offers professional-grade control without the 1 Lakhs price tag.
HiBrew H10A:
The Precision Powerhouse. Sleek and compact, but built for enthusiasts. The PID temperature control and adjustable pre-infusion are game-changers. It eliminates "temperature surfing," allowing you to hit the exact heat needed for specific beans.
Pro Tip: Switch to a bottomless portafilter and a puck screen. It makes troubleshooting your extraction much easier and keeps the group head clean.
DF54 Grinder:
Small but Mighty Industrial, heavy-duty, and surprisingly quiet for its power. The zero retention is the real deal. Use RDT and you get back exactly what you put in. The 54mm flat burrs produce extremely fluffy, consistent grounds.

Thanks to fix coffee I was looking out for a grinder that i could enjoy using for my home espresso set up. not too expenisve and at the same time very precise. I wasnt happy with any of the options on amazon. When i saw it on fix i baught it, it reached pretty fast and was exactly as advertised. Legit, now my espressos come out the way they are supposed to. Non sour and with tons of delicious crema.
I got my timemore c3s grinder today. It’s has been delivered within 3 days and packed well. The build quality of grinder is excellent.
Also really appreciated the customer service from fix coffee. I got confused in dialling clicks, the customer support responded quickly and solved my query which the overall experience smooth.
Overall, very happy with the purchase and the service from Fix coffee.
