I upgraded from Encore ESP to DF64 Gen 2 and I see noticeable difference in my espresso shots. The stepless adjustment and 64mm flat burrs provides great precision. No plastic in entire machine, it’s all metal. Very less retention and flow of grinder coffee is smooth with no clumps.
FixCoffee shipped it same day and was with me in 2 days. Highly recommended to buy from them rather than other seller from other country who under invoice to avoid custom( this can backfire).
I have been using this hisense machine for 6 months. Here is what i think
1. Don’t go by its size, this thing is a beast. It supports cafe size portafilters and the pressurisation is also industrial grade
2. Fits into a surprisingly low profile form factor. Looks really good on my bar counter. Has a decently large water tank
3. Cleaning it is easy i think this is the only model which comes with a removable drip tray
4. Heats up quickly and supports a descent temperature range, not found elsewhere at this price point.
I could go on and on all i gotta say is this is the best bang for your buck machine you’ll find. Choice materials throughout is very premium comes with a proper metal stamper too
I got this grinder to get that perfect crema on my espresso shots. It’s my first one, and I’m really impressed, great value for the price and easy to use. The adjustable timer is a handy feature, making it convenient every time I grind coffee. After a few attempts, I finally nailed the perfect grind size
