My DF64V is supposed to have the updated board. One weird thing it does on a cold start every time is start for a second then shut down a brief moment then start a second time. That’s when it has stalled for me. The high initial RPM makes sense but it seems like the cutting off to resume at a lower RPM is a mistake? Is that normal? I don’t notice it on videos of it.
thank you for sharing these infos. can you tell me please, what pressure and temperature you are using for espresso shots for coffee ground with >1000 rpm?
sorry to contradict, but you can't just say that the grinder was not made to grind espresso under 1000 rpm!🤷 The grinder is designed for filter and espresso and has 600-1800 rpm. Then it has to work, other grinders don't stand still either! There are also plenty of reports that it's stuck at 600-800 in filter settings, even with the new board. The manufacturer simply should have installed a more powerful motor, even if the grinder would have been a little bigger. The template for this grinder is indisputably the Lagom P64 and it is also larger. Or the manufacturer takes the critical speed ranges out of the grinder and sells them with 1000-1800 rpm. That would at least be honest and would not raise false expectations.
The motor has plenty of power, it is stall protection as designed. We have updated the control board to mitigate most of this and I have done quite a bit of testing, even low RPM with lighter beans at an espresso setting. Not recommended. There is also no reason to go slower than 1000 RPM for espresso on a flat burr grinder. We have been open to this since day one, it is listed on our website and in videos. This grinder costs half as much as the Lagom, so there will be some trade offs. If this grinder is not for you, options such as the Lagom P64 as you mentioned would probably be a better fit for you.
Thanks for the informative and short clip. Straight to the point. 👍
Thank you. I just bought my first grinder with rpm and this really gave me a good idea to have a good cuppa right from the start
Informative. Thanks

For me, 9 bar.
i just bought it and it’s way too corse but when i put it on 0 it is actually 0 but when i put it on like 40-45 it’s super corse still
you might have to play around with your brew method.
Im so confused. Dont you have the espresso and pour over settings reversed?
Espresso smaller number, pour over bigger number.
