Turin DF64E SSP Burr Installation and Alignment 

I just ordered a new DF64P and now I'm unquestionably so glad I chose to order it with the SSP HU burrs and paid to have them installed, aligned and calibrated.

This video really helped me when aligning SSP HU (espresso) burrs on the DF64p. Not as challenging as I thought it was going to be, and luckily with one folded over foil and another single layer foil I achieved perfect alignment. Great grinder - the clarity at home is similar to, if not better than, the local roastery/cafe that uses a Mahlkonig EK43. Maybe side by side or blind tasting would reveal that one to be superior, but with the puck prep at home it actually does taste more clear than from what I remember at the cafe.

Usually I rotate the burr into a different position and determine which is the most aligned by default before shimming

Thanks for the Tutorial, looks really cumbersome aligning the burrs on the P&E versions. I think would be better to have the SSP burrs pre installed when ordering the grinder would save a lot of time. Thanks again for the content 👍. Would love to see the reviews with the ssp burrs once done.

Nice job. I’ll use this as a template and if any more advise since this video posted on alignment and zero point, please update. Ty

Thank you for your tutorial and patience ! But good God i only need a grinder to grind coffee anf not deal with this.

I just got mine and the factory zero was unsuitable for espresso. I adjusted it so middle gets me nice shots. Have tons of room on either side to play with. Haven’t checked out the factory alignment but it’s prob ass. Maybe I’ll get some ssp burrs down the line but I’m enjoying the machine after fiddling with it.

was looking to switch out my niche in favour of the 64 ,heard so many stories of calibration problems,think I’ll stick with niche

Ah yeah, someone was saying it's hard to install SSP burrs in here and I was like WHY? It's pretty easy in DF64! But yeah I see the issue, because the newer variants like DF64E or P have less range in terms of grind adjustment, and the SSP burrs are significantly thicker, it means your range just got a whole lot finer (too fine in your case where they were already touching at the coarsest setting initially!) on the regular DF64, It never bothered me much that the espresso point went from being like 15 to 40 after installing SSPs (because burr touch point also moved up) the only down side on that one is that it says 'Moka' where your espresso range is, but not a big deal, you can also get a new dial sticker to put over it or re-position your original dial carefully.

Thanks for your time and effort to make the video but I would rather screw the burrs back without any alignment work, too tedious for me. I use a Eureka Mignon XL and find no consistency issue every time I take the burrs out to clean and put them back as normal

Not sure I ken the thinking in putting a multi purpose burr in a espresso focus grinder?

Looks like Turin needs to upgrade their manufacturing process to use high precision machining to get the accuracy needed for burr alignment. This is also the problem with the DF83

I zeroed burrs just like your video. My finest setting 0 is just a slight chatter. However now even on course setting my grounds are too fine. Any suggestions, did you have the same problem?

does upgrading ssp burr improves the taste of coffee?

How well does the DF64 maintain alignment over time. Have you had to redo it? The springs on it makes me curious if it shifts at all after cleaning it

Sir, how about df64p alignment, is that same?

Jesus. I can’t even get the screws out of this thing. I am struggling!

I know you want to make some money. But too many adds allowed
