A lovely deal to go alongside the Breville Bambino Plus.

I was looking through older deals for grinders to go alongside my new Bambino+ and it seems this once expired deal is still available.

Product Description:

DF54 is an entry-level flat burr coffee grinder that incorporates the best features from the DF64 II but in a more compact design. DF54 was designed in mind to provide the best quality coffee grind in the entire coffee industry at this price point. We are confident that the DF54 triumphs as the market leader among other 40mm and 54mm grinders in the market which produce clumpy and uneven coffee grinds. For an even better grind, do consider the DF64 Gen 2 which produces a superior grind quality and grind speed.

DF54 features custom-made stainless steel 54mm flat burrs for a fluffy grind with minimal clumping and consistent particle size distribution. The exit chute is equipped with a plasma generator (Ionizer) that eliminates static. The three seated positions for the upper burr carrier, along with the integrated wave spring, ensure absolute stability in the grinding chamber while achieving minimal retention at a new level. The integrated Anti-Popcorn cover enhances grinding speed and prevents uneven grinding.

Features

54mm Flat Burrs: Custom-made stainless steel flat burrs.
Plasma Generator (Ionizer): The exit chute is equipped with a plasma generator to eliminate static.

True Zero Retention: <0.1 gram; the grinder achieves almost zero retention even without a bellow.
Stepless Adjustment: Redesigned chrome-wrapped dial with a metal indicator for easy and precise grind size adjustment.
Bean Hopper Capacity: 20 grams without bellow, 50 grams with bellow.
Aluminium Body with Powder Coating Finish.

    Price is ok but please avoid this seller like the plague. I've posted previously about my disappointing experience with this seller. Buy on Amazon or local seller worth the extra couple of dollars.

      I bought my DF64E from them in 2022 without any problems. The grinders are mechanically simple and robust enough the I feel spending 50% more locally wasn't worth it at the time, but I see the local prices have come a little closer to df64coffee prices

        Mine had a faulty part causing the inside to fill up with coffee. They blamed me somehow, and I had to dissemble the machine to provide photo evidence, then wouldn't accept a return would only allow me to buy another one with a discount. They were very rude.

          Did you fix it?

          My experience was horrible as well, only in terms of negotiating a price. I ended up buying from literally a cafe next door, DF83.

          Out of the box, the grinder worked as expected. I got a little too excited and put some beans I thought I won't drink, just to season the grinder lol Shit happened, and grinder got jammed.

          Do I blame the cafe? Nope. I opened it, cleaned it, did the same mistake again. Opened it, cleaned it. Learned my lesson. There's no way you can season this beast by using stale beans. Especially, darker roast beans would definitely kill it. They're oily and they pile up inside the chute. Mine was newer model, upgraded chute, even then I couldn't season it.

          Moral of the story 😂 shit happens

            @sqheaven: Sounds like maybe poor design of the grinder if it can't even get through a vairety of beans. Most people use stale beans to calibrate their grind or pull.

            • sqheaven on 09/05/2025 - 10:05

              @Kill Joy: I sold my Eureka Mignon Specialita, which worked great for every type of beans. I think this grinder has limitations. Overall, I noticed improvements is taste. Bigger burrs, DLC, further option to upgrade SSP Burrs. Not possible with Specialita.

                @sqheaven: I'm more than happy with my encore ESP for expresso/mocha.

    • kungfuman on 09/05/2025 - 09:00

      anyone actually got one of these? what are they like? worth it?

  • Aleigh123 on 09/05/2025 - 08:08

    I know people that have bought from here and have said that the support is decent. However, as @trowlz seems to indicate, your mileage may vary. I myself have purchased a DF54 from them and it came pretty quickly.

  • G-rig on 09/05/2025 - 09:48

    These again. Look up the 10 previous threads for comments.

  • tommynolips on 09/05/2025 - 11:01

    This or a Baratza Encore ESP? I like the thought of not having to dose the grinder (from an airtight container) every time (multiple times a day)

    Is there a big difference in performance/results though? https://www.baratza.com/en-au/product/encoretm-esp-zcg495

    • Kill Joy on 09/05/2025 - 11:27

      I have an Encore ESP and I can tell you its a Jack of all trades, master of none. Meaning it's great if your just starting out and trying different types of brew methods (or just like variety) as it does them all well. However if your seasoned and know you just want X type of coffee (usually expresso or pour over) then a speciality grinder will give you better results.

      I dont know anything about this grinder except some comments above which is its fussy about the beans you put into it.

      As a closing note, I'll mention that most people wouldn't tell the difference between most top grinders, so if you don't know which one to get, you probably fall into the less decerning group (like myself) who would be happy enough with the ESP.

      I’d get Encore ESP if you enjoy having a hopper. That or the Eureka Mignon as a step up.

      Would say in terms of performance the DF is probably better. I always never really liked Baratza encore ESP just because how flimsy it feels to use.

      I think if your typically using med-dark roasts the esp is fine to use but if you want to be able to use lighter roasts, the DF for sure.

      Just depends on what kind of setup and what you use it for.

  • piupiupiu on 09/05/2025 - 11:30

    Great price for this quality grinder, but I would probably pay extra and get it from Amazon for peace of mind (I got mind from Amazon, performs well and no issue so far, but still)

    • HuzzahIndeed on 09/05/2025 - 11:46

      I was under the impression that when the DF grinders are available on Amazon.au they’re not sold by Amazon.au, they sold DF64coffee as an Amazon third party marketplace seller, so if you order it on Amazon it’s still comes from DF64coffee, and the only difference between ordering it on Amazon.au and from DF64coffee directly is that you get better buyer/delivery protection buying from DF64coffee fulfilled through Amazon.au because Amazon has better overall customer service.

        That is correct, extra protection (especially for delivery) from Amazon is what I was after.

    Genuine question: comparing to Lavazza GROUNDED coffee 1kg, 4x250g vacuum-sealed-bags ~ HALF-price on-sales. https://www.coles.com.au/product/lavazza-qualita-oro-ground-…?
    How is your freshly-grounded coffee taste better? Pls be specific & detailed in your experience…what attribute &/or characteristic you've tasted…& even-better if you've drank the above?

    • Srey on 09/05/2025 - 13:24

      Pretty specific question, needing someone who knows what that lavazza preground tastes like, and can compare to a similar roast in a whole bean.

      But subjective tasting notes aside, one thing that a grinder will absolutely give you is the ability to adjust your grind to suit your machine/process. The last time I had preground was when we ended up with a bit leftover from a camping trip and although it was an 'espresso grind' it ended up being way too coarse for the breville machine at home - super fast pull and thin watery coffee.

      • ab c on 09/05/2025 - 14:13

        That brand-model is finely-grounded comparing to the many supermarket brand I've tried. Breville 15 bar espresso-machine: if I apply HIGH-force with tamper, it blocks the flow.

        Vacuum sealed bags: I believe they've are 2 years best-before date as per printed on bags, & hence buyers can gauge grounding month.

        • Srey on 09/05/2025 - 15:03

          If it can choke up the machine then it sounds like it's actually too fine.

          Ultimately though mate, if you're happy with the coffee you make then just keep on trucking. I'm pretty blase about my home espresso too - I'm almost always adding milk to it and I'm the only one that needs to enjoy it, so aldi beans through the built in ginder are fine.

          If I do end up with some fancy beans or lighter roasts I'm probably just gonna use the handgrinder and make pour over, save the fancy espresso for when I hit up a cafe that knows what they're doing.

          • ab c on 09/05/2025 - 15:18

            @Srey:

            sounds like it's actually too fine

            It's on the finer-side & I can adjust the hand-pressure on damper to get a SLOW-flow, similar to what you get @ coffee shop.

            • Srey on 10/05/2025 - 09:01

              @ab c: Personally I'd rather not need to worry about my tamping pressure affecting the pull, cause it's really hard to be consistent with a light tamp vs 'just push really hard and it'll be fine'.

              I really don't think there's much debate to be had around the idea that freshly ground beans can produce a better cup that old grounds - oxidisation of organic compounds is a pretty well understood process - but that doesn't mean that it's going to be an appreciable difference for you. So if you're happy with what you produce from your ground bags, and don't feel it's lacking compared to what you get at a good roaster/cafe, then just keep enjoying what you do.

    I bought my DF64 from here with no issues.
