DF64 Gen 2 Coffee Grinder (v2.7)

The DF64 Gen 2 Coffee Grinder (v2.7) is a 64mm flat-burr, single-dose grinder designed for precise espresso dial-in and versatile brewing from espresso through to filter. With stepless grind adjustment, low retention and a highly customisable 64mm burr platform, it offers a practical and repeatable workflow for home baristas.

Key Features

• 64mm flat burr platform – a proven, highly customisable platform with extensive aftermarket burr options.
  
  
• Stepless grind adjustment – make fine adjustments for espresso while retaining enough range to comfortably move into filter and immersion brewing.
  
  
• Low-retention single-dose workflow – designed to minimise carry-over between coffees, with bellows to help clear remaining grounds.
  
  
• Anti-static ioniser system – ion-generator probes positioned around the inner chute help reduce static as ground coffee exits the grinder.
  
  
• Red Titanium burr option – choose AlTiN-coated burrs for increased wear resistance and long-term durability.
  
  
• Highly upgradeable – compatible with a broad range of aftermarket 64mm burr sets, giving you flexibility to tune the grinder as your preferences evolve.
  
  
• Heavy-duty aluminium construction – a solid, stable grinder with a relatively compact, home-friendly footprint.
  
  
• AU/NZ plug + local support – supplied with an AU/NZ plug and backed by Grind Logic's local product support and in-house 12-month warranty.

Burr Options: Stainless Steel vs Red Titanium

The DF64 Gen 2 is available with either standard uncoated stainless steel burrs or Red Titanium-coated 64mm burrs. Both are capable options for home espresso and filter brewing. The main advantage of the Red Titanium option is its harder, wear-resistant AlTiN coating, which is designed to help the burrs retain their cutting characteristics over a longer service life.

For most home users, the standard stainless steel burrs should already provide a long service life. Red Titanium is best viewed as an optional longevity upgrade rather than an essential performance upgrade. If your goal is to make a more substantial change to flavour profile, clarity, body or sweetness, changing to a different burr geometry — such as an SSP burr set — is generally the more relevant upgrade path.

For a more detailed explanation of the coating and whether it makes sense for your use, see our Red Titanium Burrs Guide.

Who is the DF64 Gen 2 for?

• Espresso-first home baristas who want precise, repeatable adjustment and room to fine-tune their extractions.
  
  
• Single-dose users who regularly change coffees and want to minimise carry-over between doses.
  
  
• Upgraders moving from smaller or entry-level grinders who want a larger 64mm flat-burr platform with greater customisation potential.
  
  
• Mixed-brew households that primarily make espresso but also want one grinder capable of comfortably covering filter and immersion brewing.
  
  
• Enthusiasts who want an upgrade path – the standard 64mm platform gives you access to a wide selection of aftermarket burr geometries if your preferences change over time.

Designed for Espresso – Flexible Enough for Filter

The DF64 Gen 2 offers a broad grind range, approximately 180–1050 µm as a rough reference, adjusted through its stepless micrometric collar. Exact settings will vary depending on burr set, calibration, coffee and the individual grinder's zero point.

If you're setting up your grinder for the first time, our DF64 Gen 2 grind size guide provides practical starting ranges for espresso, pour-over, filter and immersion brewing.

For espresso specifically, see our DF64 espresso dial-in guide for a practical process for adjusting grind size, dose and yield.

Low Retention and a Clean Single-Dose Workflow

The DF64 Gen 2 is designed around single dosing, helping minimise stale grounds and carry-over when changing between coffees. Its bellows, anti-popcorning system and direct grounds path are designed to help clear coffee through the grinder after each dose.

Current v2.7 units combine the revised inner-chute ioniser arrangement with the latest anti-popcorn design to support a clean, low-retention single-dose workflow.

Routine cleaning of the burr chamber and chute will help keep the grinder performing consistently over time. See our DF64 Gen 2 cleaning and maintenance guide for practical instructions.

A 64mm Platform You Can Grow With

One of the DF64 Gen 2's biggest strengths is its 64mm flat-burr platform. The grinder can be configured with standard stainless steel or Red Titanium burrs and can also accommodate a wide range of aftermarket 64mm burr sets.

This makes the DF64 Gen 2 particularly appealing if you want a grinder that can evolve with your preferences. Burrs such as SSP Espresso/HU, Multipurpose and Lab Sweet allow you to tune the grinder towards different combinations of body, sweetness and clarity rather than replacing the grinder itself.

See our SSP 64mm burr comparison guide if you're interested in the different upgrade paths available.

DF54 or DF64 Gen 2?

If you're deciding between the two models, the DF54 offers an excellent compact and value-focused entry into single-dose grinding, while the DF64 Gen 2 provides a larger 64mm burr platform, greater upgrade potential and substantially more choice in aftermarket burr geometries.
