Bought from the df64coffee website directly and enjoying it so far! Came from a 1Zpresso JX-Pro which is a really good grinder, but ginding manually for espresso had become a bit old for me eventually, especially since my girlfriend's gone decaf (which needs a much finer grind).
It's fast (DF64 users might argue it's quite a bit slower but still only ~15secs), it looks good, no retention, easy to adjust and not very noisy.
I was skeptical about the whole flat vs conical thing/how different grinders can make the same coffee taste different but got to admit I was surprised. I'd been drinking the same coffee for quite some time (bought a big 2kg bag and defrosting as I go) and once I dialled it in I was surprised as you could notice a difference, which to my palate was an improvement. This was confirmed by a very much non scientific side by side test with a JX Pro shot. Nothing night and day, but it's definitely there.
Wins all round!
