About

What it is.

DF64 Gen 2 is an electric flat burr grinder built by Turin under the DF name, designed for espresso preparation at home. It uses stepless dial adjustment rather than click settings, so grind size moves in a continuous range instead of fixed steps, and the burr chamber is built for low retention, meaning less leftover coffee sits in the mechanism between doses.

The body is aluminum over a metal housing with a wood lid, boxy in shape, sized for a countertop rather than a commercial bar. A 250-watt motor spins stainless-steel burrs at speed to grind a double-espresso dose in roughly seven to eleven seconds, feeding from a small bellows hopper rather than a large bean bin. An automatic shutoff halts grinding after a short interval as a safety measure. It's aimed at home baristas working in espresso rather than high-volume or filter brewing.


The verdict

The DF DF DF64 Gen 2 delivers fast, consistent grinding with a metal build that buyers praise for espresso results, though its noise output proves divisive at this $339–$359 price point.
