Best praise vs top criticism for Turin DF83 Grinder
“I'm getting some mild upgraditis and wanted to hear some ideas. I currently use a Timemore Sculptor 078S for espresso on my Decent, and the 1Zpresso ZP6 for filter. I have two annoyances that are causing me to want to acquire some more gear: 1. I find that it is a bit annoying to have to hand-grind before work, so it would be nice to have an electric grinder for filter. I often have an espresso and a filter coffee in the morning, so I do want dedicated grinders. 2. I am starting to suspect (perhaps wrongly) that the ZP6 isn't the perfect grinder for every coffee, even though it's the only grinder that I use. Would prefer a filter grinder with a slightly different profile to my ZP6. Though this goes against point 1, I would be open to getting another hand grinder if it meant that my filter coffees would improve. I don't have a strict budget, but definitely out of budget are grinders like the Monolith or EG1. I also don't need to jump on right now so if things are out of stock at the moment that is alright as well. The top options right now for me are: * Get an espresso grinder, and get the Sculptor Turbo burrs. Something like the DF83, or the Zerno Z1. * Get a dedicated filter grinder, like the Ode 2 with SSP burrs. Curious to see if anyone has been in a similar position or has any ideas!”
“Okay, this could just be my experience, but I got the DF83 with Sweet Burrs early last year, and eventually sold them. Even aligned, the grind was terrible. I seasoned the hell out of that thing, but it only improved once I switched it burrs. Could have just had a bad experience though.”
