I am interested in this. It looks like a 3rd generation of this nice little grinder and with a wood finish.

I think the Chinese are finally waking up to the espresso world...a lot of money to be made. The DF64 seems a work in progress...as expected.
The one I am looking at has the adjustment at the bottom of the grinder with a movable lower burr assembly. Quite different.

I am trying to convince myself to take a risk on the HB64, which comes from the same manufacturer as the DF series but is only available on alibaba currently. 64 mm, more robust construction, brushless DC motor, variable RPM.

Ah sorry didn't read your post properly.
But most of my comments apply still :-)
Even better that the DF64 I can see a metal chute in some of the pics of HB64, the plastic chute on the DF64 contributes to clumping and I would imagine static. Also the power button has been moved to the side. You do retain the better grind range for both espresso and pourover but get a better motor and variable RPM.
I do miss the bellows from the DF64 and I think it is one thing missing from the Lagom 64, I weigh beans in/out from the grinder and see variations of up to 0.5 grams even with two sprays of water before grinding.

roosterben how does the material of the chute lead to clumping if not related to static?

level3ninja - bit of a long story, kind of a hunch, I had problems with the DF64 grinds chamber and chute exit (top end to grinder chamber) clumping, this was with or without static screen, I also 3D printed a few flexible and plastic static screens. Partly as I drink medium/dark roasts I think the oils from the coffee are sticky and attract fine grinds. The plastic chutes as I found also with the Eureka Atom have more friction than metal (or maybe more stickiness to oily beans/grinds) and grinds can back up into the grind chamber exit. After trying all this and still getting the grinder blocked every few days, then having to pull the burrs off and vacuum the chamber I 3D printed a new grinds chute (from the "Hacking the DF64" exit chute Home-Barista thread). This new chute had a bigger/better opening from the grinder chamber exit. From this point on I had no clogs, overall thought I think based on common problems with Eureka Atoms and other plastic chute grinders that metal chutes are less prone to clogging.

I bought one of these recently off an online store in Singapore. Bit of a leap of faith.
The grinder arrived fairly quickly but the burrs were out of alignment and took a heap of stuffing around to get them right. Turns out I needed to screw in the top burr section really tight.
It’s up and running now and I’m pretty happy with it. Upgraded from a Rancilio Rocky and the difference is night and day. My espressos have had a noticeable improvement.
Had originally planned to get a niche when I’m in the UK mid next year, but given the difference in price I’m pretty confident I made a good choice.

The grind was way too coarse for what is meant to be an espresso only grinder.
Agree not really what you want from a new grinder but it was pretty cheap (relatively speaking) so wasn’t too put out.
Now it’s working as intended it’s great ?
