    I have also backed the 78s. This will be my first single-dose grinder (I currently have a Eureka Specialita which I have been pretty happy with so far) I prefer to try out a single-doser but Mrs Solrak isn't super keen on the extra steps involved with single dosing. I'm hoping the 78s will win her over!

      DF have been undercutting other manufacturers with the DF64 series and the DF83. Now it looks like Timemore are doing a DF on DF. Insanely good prices for what looks like quality and design features that would previously been hard to find in grinders twice the price. Haven't ordered but only because I have my hands full with other grinders at the moment. Timemores new grinders will be truly great for the prosumer community. Congrats to all who backed the launch.

          Correct me if I am wrong. The difference between 78s and 64s are motor power (watt, rpm) and bur size, while all other features and build quality are same.

            You are correct. The 64S can also take other manufacturers 64mm burr sets where there are only the supplied ones for the 78S
            The other issue is that if you like lightly roasted beans these can stall the motor on the 64S unless you use high speed - not an issue with the 78S

            My understanding is that the general build quality has been noted as being slightly better with 078/78s models.

          So who's gonna buy a 78s, DF 83 & Niche 83 for a big comparison? All in the name of science.....anyone?

            Not the Timemore. Price is great and it's probably a top grinder but I have recently developed a taste for burr swapping and I can't see too many alternatives for the 78s burrs. But sign me up for the DF83 and Duo comparision. But I'm open to someone sending me their 78S and I'll pop it into the mix.

            I would lend you my 78s tompoland when I get it. Alas, I'm nowhere near Noosa!

            That would be great. It should ship easily enought Solrak so long as you keep the original box. Most of the packaging these days is quite well done. If you are OK to ship it here, I'll treat it real well and I'm happy to pay for shipping it back to you. If that happens it would be a great three way comparision.

          tompoland I'm sure we can work something out once I have 78s in my hot little hands....whenever that is!

            Did they say which year?

            (Tongue in cheek, but stranger things have happened).

            Timemore said June THIS year which I think is extremely optimistic. I'd be happy to be proven wrong though!

I am questioning whether the version will matter and whether the DF64 will be good bang for my buck or should I explore the Timemore version and wait.
          Version 3.2 is an Australian only version as it is a revised de-clumper from V3. It performs better than than V3 and significantly better than V4. V4 de-clumper is a bit of a dud in all honesty.

            Tsaba1 can I ask how long have you had the grinder for? What we have found is that with use the silicone declumper softens and allows for the ground coffee to flow through. By removing the declumper on a DF64 just be mindful it will be messier and I would recommend using the RDT method minimise that mess.

            Thankyou fandrews for your reply. I have had it since the end of February. I do use it with RDT for every dose. Have not used it in the last few weeks because I have been using my ZP6 special. I think I prefer the taste on the ZP6

            Tsaba1 fair enough. At least you know now the more you use it the better the declumper will perform.
