Dude i would even watch you reviewing chopsticks
Excellent and thorough review, thank you for your time 🍻
Great to hear!
Your reviews are always interesting and helpful to watch! Thank you
It would be awesome to get your in-depth review about "Next Level Pulsar" 😊
Thanks for your review (as always). Saw this first pop up on IG covering one of the Coffee expos - and it looked really cool. Looks like it is well built, and does a good job. I guess if $ isn't an issue, then would look great on your countertop. I've been happy with my DF64V (and is less than 1/2 this price)
Thanks Brent! Yeah, after DF64V it's really diminishing returns on all parameters, so you have to be really into this espresso profile.
@@coffeechronicler Yeah - I decided to get the DF64V in order to get an espresso-specific flat burr grinder. I already have the Sette270, which I like, and so can get conical profiles with that. And I use my SSP/Stepless-modded Ode for filter. (apart from when I manually grind).
The Sette is excellent for conical espresso, so it sounds like you have all bases covered. I currently run DF64V with SSP Cast and it's really the perfect allrounder with those burrs. Not to mention much less noise. @@brentroman
One of the big selling points for me with the DF64V were that the stock burrs were those DLCs. I haven’t felt the need to swap them out, and while I do like my Sette 270, the DF64V is surprisingly quiet! Sometimes it’s even hard to hear if it’s on without any beans in the chamber. Pretty impressive.
I HAVE felt though that the DF64V really benefits from RDT.
Also- there really is a seemingly “seasoning” period with the stick burrs. Before I went through a bunch of beans, the static was noticeably more than it is now.
Great review as always!
I wonder how this would be like on a commercial setting?(ie. constant back to back shots)
They are a little bit vague on this. Given that the Niche is often used that way with a weaker motor, I'd assume light commercial duty should be okay.
@@coffeechronicler thanks for the reply!
any thoughts on how to decide between Timemore 078S and DF64 Gen2? For both filter & espresso
I only have direct experience with 064s and 078. But overall, I guess that 078s, like the other two, is offering some of the best value at its price points. A plus for the DF64 Gen 2 is the better dial-in range for espresso and more burr options. But hard to go wrong with any of these.
I wonder how does iit hold up to top conicals and hybrid grinders like Weber Key, Kafatek MC6, Versalab m4(or Titus/Hedone Honne) and Molar X and X2 and is it a Niche killer?
I don't have a direct head-to-head comparison at home with these titans, so hard to make a call. And you'll never hear me mention Niche killer, but more flavor separation, yes ;)
I’m browsing to see
Option-O LAGOM 01 review
Waiting for it.
My man great video as always! Definetly not buying this one. Holding out for a filter coffee grinder
Do you think it would be a good companion to an electric siphon? I Feel standard v60 filter coffee just lacks the body for me.
Don't think this grinder will be the answer. Try my Hario Switch technique first and see if that helps. That will be a lot cheaper than getting a new grinder :)
@coffeechronicler I will try blocking v60 hole for immersion, but think the paper filter will not let oils and small ground through resolving in thin body.
@@coffeechronicler thx did the stall and fall from on Hario switch it is good. Also got a dedicated 078 for pourover.
Hey I really like your content in terms of knowledge, engagement and style but can I ask you to increase the volume a bit? I like that you talk calmly unlike most shouting american youtubers but i find it very hard to hear on max volume if i have even the slightest noise nearby :(
Thanks for the kind words. Yes, I'll try to boost some decibels for the next one :)
Interesting - some other reviews say it is a stepped grinder (it snaps "into step" when locking) with about 25 microns, which is much.
You are sure it is stepless?
Yes, the unit I have tested is stepless. I don't know if they have changed it since then, but don't think so.
Wow, thank you for the ultra-fast response.
On their homepage they say "Stepped adjustment with safety lock" and also "Stepless-feeling grind size dial"
This is a bit misleading on their part.
However, thank you for your content, got my 1zpresso K Ultra "because of you" and it is indeed great
Where does it made from ?
Taiwan
@@Hoshino2006 👍
Interesting grinder but the build quality and price don't quite match IMO. Should be much closer to Niche price level..
Yeah, that's what often happens with start-up products where economies of scale can be challenging.
When you see how much Molar X or Titus cost you might rethink. It costs around the price of Webber key, has better workflow. But if they would have priced it at 1000k they could dominate the market.
@@Val_Smith yeah would dominate the $1,000,000 market.
They do seem to have a bit more of a premium build quality as well @@Val_Smith
1400 bucks it should grind bricks dude.
Dejligt med en dansk kaffe UA-camr. Den accent fornægter sig ikke. Og det er okay 👍🏼
Haha, jeg prøver at moderere den ;) Men tak!
