I recently purchased the df54 through fix coffee, had to wait a bit, but it was worth the wait.. preciously I have been using a integrated conical burr grinder in my Breville machine, where I couldn’t juice beyond a point which brought me to point of going for an external grinder (df54), I was totally impressed with the grind quality and fluffyness of the ground coffee I never got to see in my other grinder, even the extraction quality has improved, I won’t say by million bucks but a noticeable difference,, the only reason for me cutting down on 1 star was on 2 observations - (1) ppl using non 58mm porta filter it take some effort to transfer the grind which there was some adapter! And (2) watch out when you directly keep the porta filter for grind collection instead of df54 collection cup, it might lead to clogging resulting in dismantling of grinder the clog.. otherwise this would have been a perfect 5 pointer for me!
Very good device, takes some time to figure out the various parameters like pour rate quantity of beans, but once you do superb coffee. Being a used of light and very light which are the more difficult coffee to brew, this product does a fine job
I’ve tried French presses before, but the coffee always ended up kind of muddy. This one is better because the rubber seal keeps most of the fine grounds in, so the coffee is cleaner. I also like the glass body. it feels sturdy and doesn’t seem like it’ll break easily. It also looks nice on my counter.
Super easy cleaning brush. The bristles are high quality. Give it a couple swirls and the portafilter is clean!
This portafilter is a single piece of art every coffee lovers must own. I had gone through several reviews on precision baskets for days and ended up with this wonder. To begin with, the moment you hold this portafilter, you instantly feel the premium build heft and the workmanship that had gone into it. The dosage range (*18-23grms from my personal experience) gives another degree of freedom. The extraction is sweet,extremely consistent, zero burnt astringentcy and a level up in the espresso game. I had never tasted the best espresso in my life until I bought this portafilter. Buy once and have it for life!
