Introducing the DF54 Single Dose Grinder, a compact powerhouse delivering precision and performance. Engineered with the same quality as its larger counterpart, the DF64, this grinder features custom-crafted 54mm stainless steel flat burrs for consistent espresso grinding. With stepless grind adjustment, a chrome-wrapped dial, and visible metal indicator, dialing in your grind size is effortless.

Thanks to its innovative design and anti-static plasma generator, the DF54 achieves ultra-low retention, even without the bellow. The grinder also boasts an anti-popcorn mechanism to prevent beans from bouncing, enhancing grinding speed and quality. Additionally, it includes a 58mm food-grade transparent plastic dosing cup for easy portafilter use. Built with a robust aluminum body and powder coating finish, the DF54 combines durability with a sleek aesthetic, making it a versatile addition to any coffee setup.

Firstly, it makes no sense to store your expensive coffee beans in the grinder’s hopper – they simply get stale and after even a day in the hopper your grinder setting is out and needs to be adjusted, finer and finer trying to get a good flow and good crema. Then when your hopper is empty you add fresh beans and your extraction chokes because now you’re too fine and have to spend time trying to get your setting perfect again.

Secondly, you’re not tied to one bean. Mix it up a little and use different beans every time, don’t forget that decaf before bedtime if it’s your thing.

Thirdly, no waste (enough said).
