Turin DF64 Gen 2 — Single Dose Flat Burr Grinder

$999 AUD | Australian warranty

The short version

The DF64 Gen 2 is where serious home espresso begins. Ten millimetres more burr surface than the DF54, a more powerful motor, a richer burr upgrade ecosystem, and the ability to handle everything from delicate light roast filter to the tightest espresso grind — all in a compact, single-dose package that competes with grinders costing twice as much.

This is the grinder for home baristas who are committed to the craft. The one you buy when you know you're not going back to anything less.

Why the step up from the DF54 matters

The jump from 54mm to 64mm burrs isn't just a number. More burr surface area means:

• Faster grinding — larger burrs move more coffee per revolution, so doses land quicker with less heat generated

• Cooler extraction — less heat transfer into the grounds means better flavour preservation, especially for light and medium roasts

• More consistent particle distribution — the additional surface area gives the burrs more control over how particles are cut, which translates to a more uniform grind and cleaner extraction

• A bigger upgrade ecosystem — the DF64 platform supports a wide range of aftermarket burr swaps (SSP High Uniformity, SSP Multi-Purpose, DLC-coated) that let you tune the grinder's flavour character as your palate develops

If the DF54 is your entry into flat burr grinding, the DF64 Gen 2 is where you land when you decide to stay.

What's new in Gen 2

The original DF64 built a global reputation. The Gen 2 takes it further with targeted improvements that address every significant quibble from the first version:

Redesigned plasma ioniser — A fully rebuilt anti-static system with ion generator probes that wrap around the inner chute. Static reduction is dramatically more effective than the original, resulting in cleaner transfers and fluffier grounds in the portafilter.

Updated burr options — Red Titanium (TiN) burrs ship as default, these provide significantly extended longevity (~3,000kg of coffee before replacement, versus standard steel). Aftermarket burrs such as SSP and LeBrew are also fully compatible.

250W motor with auto-stop — More torque than the DF54, with a 45-second auto-stop safety feature. Consistent RPM at fine espresso settings means fewer speed-related grind inconsistencies.

Heavy-duty all-metal construction — The body is machined aluminium throughout, with a polished collar. Nothing about the DF64 Gen 2 feels like a budget grinder.

Stepless micrometric adjustment — The same infinite adjustment system as the DF54, refined with a cleaner graduated dial that makes it easier to return to a known setting after switching beans.

The burr upgrade ecosystem — why it matters

This is what separates the DF64 from most grinders at this price. Because the burr carrier design is open to the aftermarket, you can transform the DF64 Gen 2's flavour character without buying a new grinder:

• Red Titanium (TiN) burrs — excellent all-rounder for espresso and filter, but harder and longer-lasting stainless steel burrs. Worth it if you're grinding daily for years

• SSP High Uniformity burrs — designed for espresso, produce a tighter particle distribution and exceptional clarity. A significant step up for dedicated espresso drinkers

• SSP Multi-Purpose burrs — optimised for both espresso and filter. Ideal if you switch brew methods regularly

• LeBrew Tech 64mm burrs — available through Barista Hub. Engineered with simulation technology for optimised particle distribution and enhanced flavour clarity

The DF64 Gen 2 is a platform, not just a grinder. Buy it now, upgrade the burrs later as your coffee obsession deepens.

Who it's for

You're stepping up from the DF54 or a similar entry-level grinder. The performance gap between 54mm and 64mm burrs is real, and you'll taste it. If you've been grinding with the DF54 and want more clarity, speed, and room to grow — this is the natural next step.

You're running a mid to high-end espresso machine. The DF64 Gen 2 is the grinder we'd pair with machines like the Lelit Mara X, Lelit Bianca, ECM Classika, or any dual boiler setup. It won't hold your machine back.

You use oily or dark roast beans. Unlike the DF54, the DF64 Gen 2 handles oily roasts more comfortably. The larger burr chamber and more powerful motor manage viscous grounds without the clogging risk that can affect smaller grinders.

You want a grinder you won't outgrow. Between the burr upgrade path and the build quality, the DF64 Gen 2 is designed to last. It's the kind of grinder that stays on your bench for a decade.

You're switching between espresso and filter. The DF64's grind range is wide enough to move comfortably from fine espresso to coarse French press without drama. If your morning is an espresso and your afternoon is a pour-over, the DF64 handles both.

DF54 vs DF64 Gen 2 — which one?

DF54 DF64 Gen 2 Burr size 54mm 64mm Motor 150W 250W Price $429 $699 Burr upgrade options Limited Extensive (SSP, LeBrew, DLC) Oily bean handling Moderate Good Best for Entry to mid-range setups Mid to high-end setups Room to grow Limited Significant

Our honest take: If you're pairing with an entry-level machine and pulling 1–2 coffees a day, the DF54 is excellent value. If you're running a better machine, grinding more than 2–3 doses daily, or you know you'll want to experiment with burr upgrades — spend the extra and get the DF64. You won't regret it.

Pair it with

• Turin MC3 Espresso Machine — a natural combination. Dual boiler performance meets 64mm flat burr grinding at a price that makes the whole setup genuinely compelling.

• LeBrew Tech 64mm Burr Set — available through Barista Hub. A meaningful flavour upgrade that transforms the DF64's grind character without replacing the grinder.
