G-IOTA / DF64 Grinder

[ona_rampage]

So I tried the Aldi beans this morning, out of morbid curiosity. There was a taste difference between the Niche and two shots I poured from the DF, at different grind settings. However none of them were tastes that you really want, but good to know a difference was there.
I only had one shot of beans left that I particularly wanted to try in the DF (a medium/light medium roast, with fruitier notes), so couldn't do any real comparison, however the one shot I did had far more clarify of flavours IMHO, compared to what I have been drinking this week, which was terrific. In my opinion it was my favourite cup of these beans that I've been drinking for the last week. Far from scientific, but promising.
Unfortunately off to Mexico (Melbourne) for the next couple of days, leaving on the Sparrows flight, so no more playing till I come back. However some other fruitier beans are defrosting, waiting for my return, and I'll do some more back to back tastings on the weekend (and get my better half to try, cause she has a palate unlike me).

First impressions....don't drink Aldi beans....

Be interested in your impressions. Such an amazing range of burrs available for the DF.

Just received my DF64 from AB. Seasoning tonight with a kg of Aldi's finest medium roast, and will fire it up in anger tomorrow to start to compare to the Niche. Very excited to be comparing.

my router firewall/anti-virus also flags it as having malware, but could very well just be a false positive

Website seems fine to me in Firefox

I bought a DF-64 off them about a month ago, was delivered to Australia in about a week. The website loads for me perfectly in Chrome.

If anyone is looking to buy one of these from the df64coffee website I suggest you add it to your cart, go to check out and enter an email address, then go as far through the checkout process as you can without ordering. I was curious about shipping costs and did that, then a week later I received a 10% off coupon, then another week or two later a 15% one.

Is this site gone? My computer setup warns me it is not certified and may be fraudulent?? Other options? Mat

Hey mate, I had been considering doing the same via alibaba - did you just end up getting an AUS plug adapter for it? I messaged the seller on alibaba and from what I remember they said they only had a few various EU plug options, but it's a crapload cheaper so definitely tempted to go down this route.

Hi there - the seller sent me a grinder with an AU plug, no adapter required.

My DF64 was ordered direct from Alibaba with the DLC burrs and it has been going great for the last few months.
I have not done any mods, and my preferred method is to grind direct into the PF until the output slows, then afterwards breifly on and bellows to be dumped (20.3g in, 19.5 into the PF, 0.8g reground/chaff dumped).
Looking out for a grind indicator next (at the moment use a sim ejection tool as the reference point and dots of blu-tack to indicate reference settings for different beans.)

Recently got a DF64 from the sales forum and fortunately have a 3D printer. What mods are recommended for it?

So far have printed a dial indicator, cup adaptor and tilted base. Noticed some alternative declumpers (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4883157) but not sure how wise it would be compared to the silicone ones that can be purchased.

Thanks for the response. I was just using wrong search terms on HB and eventually found several really helpful links. So thank you.
