Obviously a theoretical question, since the Timemore 064s and 078s aren't out yet, and unknown pricing.
What do you think of something like the DF83 vs either of the Timemore grinders for espresso?
Interestingly, at least some users in the DF83 Facebook group, whom also have experience with the DF64 with SSP burrs, are favouring the 83mm flavour. Now I realise these aren’t the same burrs (no SSP for 83mm yet), and it may just be confirmation bias, but it does cause me to wonder about size and how that affects taste in the cup.
The variable RPM of the Timemore is attractive. There was also meant to be a variable speed DF64 in the works, but it doesn’t look to be out yet.
I can’t tell if third party 64mm burrs compatible with the Timemore - they responded "no" in their FB group, although Lance Hedrick seems to imply they will be in his review of the non-espresso version (and Timemore may just mean they don't support/endorse that, which I didn't expect anyway).
I’m only going to spend my hard earned cash on one grinder in the next few years. I’m “ready” to purchase something. Hard to choose! I should probably just wait and be pateient for reviews, but if the Timemore Kickstarter discount is hefty...

.....fingers crossed the burrs are good or SSP gets into the 78 mm game
