Turin DF64V Gen 3 Grinder with Ion Generator - Variable Speed Single Dose Grinder

Very Solid Well-Designed Grinder - Highly Recommended Purchase

I wanted a small footprint single-dose grinder with solid engineering and whisper quiet operation - that’s exactly what I got with the Turin DF64V Gen 3 grinder. This is a beautiful addition to my other kitchen appliances, and after only a few weeks and less than 2 lbs of beans to season the burrs, I’m already more than satisfied with the quality of the grind and the espresso shots I’ve been producing. I expect that the grind quality will continue to improve as I run more beans through it and properly season the burrs, but I have no complaints with what I’m getting during the break-in period. I especially appreciate that this grinder was designed to be easily disassembled for cleaning and maintenance. I also found that the active ionizer/plasma generator performs so well that I no longer need to use the RDT method to reduce static. I look forward to many years of use with this highly recommended grinder!

Very prone to stalling even on medium grind range settings.

Good Value and Good Shots

I've only had my DF64V for a few weeks, having run about a pound and a half of beans through it. I didn't break the burrs in with a few kilos of cheap coffee as, I'd rather endure the break-in than waste the hard work of the pickers. So with the combination of some burr break-in and getting to know my beans, I'm pulling some great shots. I can't speak to random comments about stalling, as I consider that to be misuse of the grinder (i.e. light roasted beans, ground at 800 rpm for espresso). I've been grinding medium light beans at 1200 rpm and my shots are coming out predictably. Noise was a concern, as it's difficult to get a handle on noise from the YouTube reviews, but I'd call it minimal, but high-pitched (when grinding). When not grinding, I have to feel the case for subtle vibrations to tell if it's on. I find the bellows to be useful, unlike most YouTube reviewers. I'm not sure how much the ionizer works, but with with a couple of RDT sprays, I'm consistently getting from 17.9 to 18.0 g out when loading 18.0 g. I love the magnetic chute. This is a brilliant idea!
