New (to me) Grinder Monday
New (to me) Grinder Monday
The postman delivered a new to me DF83 Gen 1 with SSP HU burrs. Just had fun dialing it in over lunch for espresso. It is a huge step up from the Niche Zero it replaces for espresso.
You know it's a good grinder because its name is incomprehensible combinations of letters and numbers.
Lmao.
Grinders are named by randomly picking Scrabble tiles
And here I am with my brand new niche zero that I was so proud of until like three minutes ago.
I would feel the same if somebody posted a p100 or Monolith Flat MAX, but then they also way more expensive like the DF83 with SSP burrs is vs. the Zero.
I'm sitting here with my little Fellow Opus but still happy since it isn't a hand grinder and it is doing a perfectly fine job for me.
I love Grindr Mondays.
That's a real beauty! I'm also on the prowl for an upgrade from the niche zero. What made you decide on this rather than a 64mm?
Short answer is price, df83 with the SSP burrs used is about the same price as a brand new df64 with stock burrs in the UK.
I decided I wanted the profile of the SSP HU burrs and the 83mm offers slightly better results than the 64mm of the same burrs. Shrinking the cuts down isn't just a question of making the same cuts smaller, it reduces the surface area which changes the way it grinds.
However I suspect most people including me wouldn't be able to blind taste the difference with just one to sample from
That's a bretty machine! I went with the steampunk aesthetic for my gear, but while looking good, this modern style also looks much easier to clean.
Very nice!
Thank you! You should post your own post with your gear in, sounds cool!
I will! None of mine is new, and I'm new here; still getting a feel for the community.
