DF83V Variable Speed Single Dose Coffee Grinder (Black)

After all those wasted dollars (and time), I finally bit the bullet and purchased a grinder that was worth more than its' purchase price and actually made the coffee taste better. The DF83V is a total remodel of the Turin DF83 with nearly zero retention, quiet as a mouse, grinds 20 Gm espresso beans in 3 seconds, fluffy as new fallen snow and zero bitterness in my ristretto cortados even with French Roast. Remember that French Roast is 30 seconds from carbonized coal beans and yet the cortados were smooooth. I have already sold my DF64 v2 and my Mahlkonig x54. Buy this one. I cannot believe what a difference a fine grinder makes.

So, I did have an issue upon arrival, and was concerned that I had made a huge mistake. Turned out it was part of a small manufacturing mishap where I had mismatched burrs. They made it right immediately, and went above and beyond with there compensation. That said, once the burrs were correct, this grinder is incredible…immediately turned around and purchased the brew burrs. I couldn’t be any happier! Thanks Miicoffee!

Quite the package, very sturdy, well-built and quiet! Produces very little static cling given its built-in "plasma" antistatic generator. Significantly less static than my previous burr grinder, and way way quieter.The variable speed brushless motor and stepless adjustment with 83 mm burrs and minimal retention makes this grinder a winner! Customer support from miicoffee is quite knowledgeable as well.

I think the grinder is fantastic. I love the workflow and the minimal retention and the coffee I get out of my espresso machine (Vivaldi II).I think I am just unlucky and got a bad unit. First it stalled. Then it tripped my circuit breaker. Now it won't turn on. There are 2 power switches. One rocker switch which turns the overall grinder on and a second push button on/off toggle that rotates the burrs themselves. The light comes on for the power switch but there is no display on the RPM read out. When I press the grinder button to turn the grinder, the burrs do not rotate.I have contacted the manufacturer through Amazon and I have heard great things about Mii coffee so I am waiting to get this issue resolved. Amazon cannot do a direct replacement for me on this. If I run into trouble with Mii, I will just have to return the grinder and go elsewhere.I will update the review once I have resolved things with Mii

After the first several months, I'm here to say, I like the grinder, but I don't love it. Honestly, it's just fine for the most part. I found over the last month, I've started to reach for the hand grinder again. Which then makes a boat load of static and I miss the DF83V. I also prefer the taste of the hand grinder, but, that's personal, I suppose. I got the DLC Espresso burrs for a Flair 58/Bambino combo. It really is just okay. It's easy to use and clean and reset the zero point on and all that. It's a very simple machine. I like it for that.Grind consistency, for me, seems to be an issue. You chase it around the dial quite a bit. The set screw doesn't always hold the zero point on the dial. The dial pointer is a sticker. The threaded font half doesn't come with a match mark to let you know it's full snug. It makes a weird screeching noise. I'm looking forward to changing the burrs to see if I can shift the profile to something I favor a little more.It's just an okay, everyday workhorse for home use. I can say bad things about it, but ultimately, I'm gonna use it. It's not terrible. Just has room for lots of little improvements.A decent value. But, I'd probably reach for something a little bit more expensive with the same but better features next time instead of trying to go to bottom of the upper-shelf. Just my .02. If it fits your budget like it did mine, you're not gonna hate it. If you can afford something better or really deep down want a conical--do that instead.

Updated ReviewI was fully refunded for this product, so I reached out to Mii Coffee and will be purchasing it again. ……I bought this grinder for my daily espresso routine.I received it from Amazon and opened it a week later. After following the instructions to set it up, I found the dial to be extremely stiff. I had to use both hands and apply a lot of pressure to turn it. After about less than a week of use, it stopped working. When I tried to open the collar, even with my husband's help, it wouldn't budge. I was about to contact customer service, but seeing how stiff the dial and collar were, I started to suspect a defect. After watching YouTube videos where people seemed to adjust the dial effortlessly, I decided it was a faulty product and returned it.I encountered unexpected issues not mentioned in the manual, such as the extremely stiff dial and the malfunction after a short period of use. The refund date has been postponed twice, so I'm writing this review ahead of time.I'm currently waiting for a refund, but I'm worried about whether I'll get a full refund. If I do, I'd consider purchasing it again and would be happy to re-evaluate my review.

Works great if you have the room for it. Well built

Followed direcrions perfectly. Jammed at first use. I cleared the jam per directions and it did clear, then it did not work at all. I tried to clear burs, recalibrate etc. got one more grind, then it stopped completely, wouldn't even run empty. Returned immediately. I'll give a replacement at shot and will update.I have seen favorable reviews online and YouTube so eager to see if a replacement will work. If not I'll try a Turin DF83 or Turin DF83V.
