What we liked

  • + 48mm conical burr is larger than the 40mm burrs common on compact single-dose grinders
  • + Two speeds, 500 and 400 rpm, with the slower one meant to reduce heat during grinding
  • + Aluminum alloy housing with a 15 degree tilt, a powder discharger and an anti-static coating

Trade-offs

  • - 36 settings is a narrow range for dialing in espresso next to stepless or 75 to 80 setting rivals
  • - Conical burr only: buyers who want a flat burr profile should look at the DF54 and DF64 models here
