MiiCoffee DF54 Single Dose Coffee Grinder (Black)

Had for about a week, very nice to use, burrs appear to be perfectly aligned out of the box (checked with marker), getting amazing espresso. No issues with static or clumping so far. Have given the chute a quick brush a few times to try and keep the anti static device clean Possible to grind directly into portafilter or basket if you use a funnel and occasionally knock the grinds pile so that they dont back up into the chute. can flip the rubber piece to help. The philips head holding the chute was damaged (presumably during assembly), and in DF64's own video on youtube they mention the screw is very soft, so that may be an issue long term, no idea why they couldnt provide a better screw, and hex matching the other screws and included allen key would have made a lot more sense. Contacted them via amazon chat and they were uncooperative and basically blamed me... Dosing cup - not a very snug fit to my vst basket, so if you shake the cup to distribute the grounds, a fair bit seems to escape to the outside of the cup. fines seem to stick to it, so i tend to grind direct to basket instead. a metal cup would probably be better, can buy df64 one separately but dont think its worth it

I've had this for 3 months now and it's performed great. Simple to use and easy to dial in a consistent espresso grind. It's very easy to clean although when I went to clean it after 2 months of daily use, it barely had any old coffee grinds in there so what you put in you get out which is fantastic.

First thing is the weight. Chunky, really quite heavy. Solid though, no rattles. In operation, this is impressively quiet. Grinds beans effortlessly. The stepless setting will please aficionados seeking precise grinds. Top notch.

Well built and grinds perfect for espresso going as fine as you like! Has some weight to it and the construction is great…..definitely good build quality. No hesitation in recommending although you have to be patient as it takes a couple of weeks to arrive.👍

1. I loved this grinder, it worked very well once dialled in, however within 2 weeks it started to throw coffee grinds all over our kitchen work surface, I think the plasma generator fails or fails to do its job after a bit as others have said. So 5 star for the grinder until it stopped working so cleanly after 2 weeks and then it becomes a 3 star grinder. Maybe I could have taken it apart to try and fix it but don't see that as my job and when I read the instructions it said nothing about required maintenance and actually says do no dismantle the machine. 2. Luckily as I bought it via Amazon even though from a 3rd party seller in Singapore, Amazon customer service was fantastic and the return was processed straight away although I did have to pay the hefty return postage but to later be refunded. It took a while to get returned as I think the 3rd was a bit delayed in doing some of the import papwerwork / processes. Overall put your trust in Amazon customer service though and all will work out fine if you have issues or faults like I did. 5 star for service. 3. My biggest issue is the 3rd party seller firstly made it very clear they were not happy I made contact via Amazon and had clicked I wanted to return it due to fault, they said I should have instead contacted them direct, not sure how, maybe they meant outside of Amazon. They then said despite them / Amazon only suppling a non-prepaid returns label and me having to choose and pay the cheapest method to send it back (UPS), that I should have instead used another 'method' they know, not sure what as I regularly post items abroad and so know how to ‘legitimately’ send things the cheapest way. They then said my 2 week old grinder was scratched and fully working and so I had no right to return it! Firstly it was NOT scratched it was only 2 weeks old and I'm OCD with my kit, but Secondly it was faulty and so I had full rights to return it after 2 weeks. The Amazon listing in fact clearly stating it can be returned within 30 days, mine failed to function as expected after 2 weeks.

Works as advertised and my husband use it 2 times a day at least never complaining. The build quality is fantastic complete solid a lot heavier than I expected and is not very loud when grinding

First grind and coffee excellent really pleased with my purchase

Really good value but not 100% convinced by the quality control, the grinder does grind really well until the plasma generator to control static fails (after less than 20 grinds) then you get more clumpy grinds needing WDT and a messy grinder with all the static making the chaff and fines stick to the machine. The adjustor ring is also veeerrrry stiff and could do with some texture as the shiny metal is slippery so adjusting grind size is annoying. These are small things but if fixed would be a 5 star grinder.

Absolutely amazing grinder for the money. Too bad my cat ate the rubber portafilter holder while I was away 🥹

1 Month Update: I still really love this grinder. Best value purchase for the grind quality you get. After about 1-2 weeks of use, I noticed more static in the grinds, but a simple clean with the included chute brush resolved this and it's back to clean static free output. I've also started to spray my light roast beans, but not necessary for dark to medium roasts. I still love the look and how sturdy yet quiet it is. I also recommend hot starting for grinding to help maintain grind consistency. No clogging issues whatsoever. You can't go wrong with this grinder if you're looking for something for home that provides a quality grind to elevate your espresso journey. Original review: I wasn't one of the early adopters of the DF54, so I had to wait for the next batch shipment to be available so I could get my hands on one. My previous grinder was a Baratza Encore that barely met standards in terms of a good espresso grind (very inconsistent, muddy flavors), which it wasn't really designed for. I've read some of the complaints of the DF54 in terms of the zero point and static issues and I have to say so far I have none of those issues. Maybe they tweaked the manufacturing to address some of the prior issues to improve Quality Control on these latest arrivals. 1. My DF54 right out of the box hasn't had any static issues yet, even when grinding light roasts (which tend to have more static than darker roasts). 2. The Zero Point was spot on. Just turning the dial a hair past "0" was where the gear "chirping" happened, so I'm happy with this calibration. 3. First few grinds had a little bit of retention, but after that and using the bellows, the final grind comes to +/- 0.1g from the initial beans dosed. 4. Some video reviews talked about how the bellows come off too easily from the grinder, but with mine, the bellows are fairly snug that if I try to remove them, the "anti-popcorning" cap slips out with it, so seems everything fits well together. I haven't check the burr alignment on this unit, but so far I don't feel like I need to. For Espresso grinds, I have it set in the vicinity of 20, and my shots so far have produced wonderful clarity for fruity notes, but enough smoothness for flavors like vanilla. Very satisfied with my purchase. I really love the compact design, the quiet operation and pairs well with my Bambino Plus. I'll provide an update in 1 month.

Oggetto di design ..pesante ben assemblato..ero dubbioso sulla macinatura fine per espresso viste le recensioni ..invece ottima resa con filtro a pressione e tacca 10 adesso proverò il cestello IMS con portafiltto vuoto per esaltare la schiuma..caffe in grani dark della Costarica

ich liebe Kaffee. Schon sehr viele Jahr. Mein Set Up hat sich die letzten 10 Jahre immer weiter verändert. Ich hatte begonnen mit deinem einfachen Siebträger von Delonghi, danach einen von SMEG. Nach vielen Jahren bin ich auf einen Siebträger von Gaggia gewechselt, um schließlich bei meiner Traummaschine – der Lelit Mara X zu landen. Genau so wie das Maschinen-Set Up hat sich auch die jeweils verwendete Mühle dazu verändert. Ich habe mit einem einfachen Schlagmahlwerk begonnen, und bin dann auf Mühlen mit Kegelmahlwerk umgestiegen. Mit dem Umstieg auf Gaggia kam dann die erste Mühle mit Scheibenmahlwerk, eine alte Gaggia MDF mit Portionieren. Wow da merkte ich zum ersten mal den Unterschied von Kegelmahlwerk zum Scheibenmahlwerk. Der gleiche Kaffee schmeckte plötzlich komplexer, und einfach besser. Mit meinem letzten Upgrade Schritt kam dann auch eine neue Mühle. Nach sehr langer Recherche und Tests bin ich bei der DF54 gelandet und bereue es keine Sekunde! Es ist unglaublich, dass man für aktuell 255€ eine Mühle für Single-Dosing, mit 54 mm Mahlscheiben in hochwertiger Ausführung bekommt. Vergleichbares startet bei ca 500€ bei der Konkurrenz. Und das Ergebnis dieser Mühle ist wirklich perfekt! Man kann den Mahlgrad sehr fein und stufenlos einstellen. Das Mahlgut kommt gleichmäßig und perfekt aus der Maschine. Ich nutze die Mühle nun ca 1 Jahr täglich ca 4-6 x am Tag und sie läuft perfekt! Was ich hervorheben möchte ich auch die einfache Reinigung. Man kann die Mühle ohne das Entfernen von Schrauben öffnen und so easy und perfekt reinigen. Falls ihr euch gerade überlegt ob Single-Dosing ein Thema ist oder lieber mit Behälter, dann würde ich sagen – es ist Geschmacksache. Reguläre Mühlen mit Behälter sind erst ab einer gehoben Preisklasse (ca ab 700-800€) genau in der Ausgabe der Mahlgutmenge bzw. besitzen erst ab dieser Range teilweise eine integrierte Waage. Zwar ist es grundsätzlich leichter bei Besuch eine größere Menge Kaffees abzudecken, aber hey, ich habe schon so viele Leute mit Kaffee versorgt, und mit einer Single Dasing Mühle dauert es einfach nur ein paar Sekunden länger. Der riesen Vorteil ist jedoch einfach und unkompliziert zwischen verschiedenen Kaffees zu wechseln. Ich mache mir z.B. Abends immer Decaf Kaffee und kann hier easy variieren. Da die Maschine im ersten Jahr gar keine Probleme gemacht hat bin ich überzeugt, dass es eine langlebige Mühle ist. Ich würde sie jeder zeit wieder kaufen und hab sie auch schon Freunden empfohlen. Was besseres bekommt man für das Geld nicht. In diesem Sinne – make coffee, not war.

Tocó jubilar a mi Baratza Virtuoso+, sin embargo no podría estar más encantado. La calidad de construcción es excelente, es robusto, pesado, pero requiere poco espacio. El unico punto donde podría mejorar es en cable, ya que si se siente de una calidad mas baja (Tomando como referencia el cable del Molino Baratza). Pros: - Practicamente 0g de retención. - Se pueden percibir notas en el café con mayor claridad (Espresso y filtrado). - Es rápido comparado al baratza. - Hace poco ruido. - El Ionizador funciona perfecto, no se hace un desastre. - El "Anti popcorn" funciona muy bien, no se andan saltando los granos. Puntos de mejora: - El cable si se ve medio chafa, la verdad. - No viene un manual donde te diga que rango se recomienda para prensa, filtrados y espresso. - El punto 0, no es en realidad el 0, tienen desfase de fábrica. En el mio el 0 esta en el -5. (No es un problema que haga malo este molino, hay piezas impresas 3D para corregir esto). - Si lo pensabas usar para filtrado, puede que no sea el mejor, ya que su muelas estan mas pensadas para espresso y crea bastantes granos finos. (Hay una técnica llamada "Slow Feeding" que ayuda a la uniformidad). Notas: - Toma en cuenta que podria taradar bastante en llegar, el mio tardo casi un mes.
