Tamping was always our least favourite part of making coffee... this makes it extremely easy, always level, always perfect pressure
Using it daily...
I would have liked an option of opting out of the fix coffee logo sticker on my product. Clearly fix coffee hasn't made this product, so why put stickers on it and ruin the aesthetics. Imagine if Amazon starts putting their company logo sticker on every package they send out, how annoying this would be. Good product, great value for money & fast shipping though.
Its been a few days since I have been testing this with my flair classic with a range of different coffees from dark to light, washed and processed. For the price, its offering very good clarity and brightness and shine especially when it comes to lighter roasts
While its fun to grind darker roasts with this grinder, Its equally hard to grind lighter roasts for espresso so I recommend just do it in 2 passes unless you've got the forearms like 'The Rock'. The first pass would be super chunky at around 180 clicks, coarse enough to not get caught in the bearings or so but it makes it way easier to grind the 2nd pass at the needed setting.
Just make sure to clean it as the internal regularly (once a week at least) to avoid rusting the internal mechanism overtime
All in all very happy with this one!
How much ever it may sound silly, having a good grinder actually takes your coffee game several notches up.
I have been using cheap grinders for years, until I finally started searching (and searching) for a decent one that wasn’t priced outrageously. I was confused between the Baratza range, the DF54, and the DF64. I picked the latter because of its build quality and what I learned about consistent grind quality. Some of the features experts talked about were going over my head, but they still sounded convincing.
I put my faith in it & I can’t complain. It will take some time to get fully used to it. Maybe I still need to do some tinkering to get that extraction everyone swears by. However, the puck quality is excellent, I am getting better crema, and the extraction time is pretty solid.
Experience with Fix Coffee? No complaints there either. I sent a WhatsApp message, and Mahesh replied within minutes. Had a good conversation, asked for a discount/coupon code, and he shared one. So thank you, Mahesh, for the guidance.
Pro Tip: Did some more research and found another coupon code, which sweetened the deal by another 2%.
Lastly: go for it. I waited long enough; you shouldn’t.
