Turin DF83 V2, very affordable big burrs! 

Hey man, I like your videos. You have a good way of giving a concise summary, while keeping the important details. I also like your subtle humor. And the production quality is great. it's nice to see videos without unnecessary zoom ins and dozen of jump cuts. I hope your channel gets more views so you can keep the videos coming. It's clearly visible that you are passionate about coffee (while not going into the territory of coffee insanity ;).

Fantastic video! Really enjoying the quality of your content!

Great video Aaron! I've been loving my df83. Retrofitted it to v2 and it's even better

Finally!! 😁 awesome video Aaron straight to the point! So I got caught with the grinder/burr bug rabbit hole, and currently own 2- fellow Ode ( SSP MP & 2nd Gen burrs), 1 DF64 ( I’ve been playing/swapping burrs with the standard Italmill, Ode 1s & Mazzer 189D), 2 DF83s (SSP HU & Standard italmill) and a Baratza Sette 270 (I still really enjoy the creamy espresso body from the conical burrs). The DF83 it’s a monster, one thing that bothers me a little bit is the motor spinning so hard that moves a little slightly the entire grinder every time I start it. As you mentioned stock burrs produce a lot of fines so currently I only use them for espresso. I’ve been thinking in upgrading my second DF83 to SSP sweet lab cast burrs to start playing with pour overs, but I think I need to get rid of some grinders before spending more money on more coffee equipment. 🤣 Cheers man and again content is getting better! Congratulations!

I have the V1. its great. This grinder's motor is so fast and powerful that you do not need to hot start it, so pop corning is never an issue. I also prefer to just hold the portafilter right below the shoot. The grinder is so fast ... so what I only have to hold it for a few seconds... no dumping from dosing cup to portaFilter. Skip that unnecessary step. Also I never squirt water on my beans. To me that is another unnecessary step and I've had no problems with my V1. another suggestion, tapping the sides of the shoot with motor on after a couple of sessions cleans out the shoot. (in two seconds) its been a rock solid grinder for one year now. no problems and I have never even cleaned it. (other than the side tap)

Great review! Enjoy your content dude. 👍

If it popcorns, maybe the solid lid is a better option?

Hey Aaron! nice one, thanks for the review!

love my DF83 from Espresso Outlet!

Nice review ! I'd like to ear come backs on the 83 mm dlc espresso burrs over the stock ones!

Hey Aaron! Love the review, im tossing up between this and the x54. I love the look of the X54 and it has the bramds reputation behind it too! In your opinion, what would be better, for Espresso usage mostly? I would probably upgrade to the 54mm ditting burss too

I just received my DF83 v2 but I DO have static buildup issues. I have to use the RDT to keep it clean. Perhaps I need to open it to see if I really have the plasma generator. Perhaps I have old beans. Do you have any suggestions? I have the DLC burrs as well and to in order to pull a good shot, my dial indicator is on roughly 5 or 6 which seems way too low. Anything else pulls too fast. I did do the alignment and I found it to be pretty good. It seems as if Turin places a small white strip to improve alignment. I shimed it slightly more but overall I found burr alignment to be very good. I just find it odd that while my machine seems to be calibrated properly that my espresso shots (medium roast) are around the 5 mark. The burrs start to chatter around the 0 mark or slightly below so it seems to be correct. Thoughts?

Hi Aaron, nice review. I own the DF83 v2/stock burrs - use it for both espresso and aeropress and it's an absolute beast and really happy with it. But I found that the inner diameter of the extension collar for the dosing cup is actually smaller than the dosing cup's inner diameter which creates a ridge that the grounds get hung up on, effectively increasing the overall retention. Is that the same as on your model?

Hey Aaron. If you have daily drivers (grinders, brew/espresso methods) what are your go-to’s?

I considered the Timemore 077s, but it seems that the adjustment range is very tight. How is this range for dialing in shots? I’m also considering the Zerno. It’s only 64mm, but with the pre-breaker and the blind burrs, plus hyper alignment, it seems like it punches above the 64mm level.

Arron, I'd love your thoughts on how much grinders matter (taste wise) to those of us who drink a more traditional Italian espresso rather than more modern third wave light roasted single origins. Maybe a 70/15/15 blend Brazil, Guatemala, Robusta or Monsoon. Roasts in the Full City Plus range. No oils but darker than most 3rd wave coffees. Just an example. A nice SO Brazil 50/50 wet/dry dropped at the first sign of second crack is good too. To put things into perspective, something a hair darker than Onyx Eclipse. Which I believe currently is a Guatemala (I have about 1/2 a kilo of mine left, lol). I'm curious because, to me, all coffees like this have a chocolate, toffy and or roasted nut flavor to them. There really isn't much origin characteristic to bring out so I am not sure how much it really matters. As an aside, can't wait for the next grinder review! Super helpful.

Nice vid. I was just about to ask about out of the box alignment… and you beat me to it. To your knowledge, is that normal for this grinder?

Order placed! I was between DF64V, but it seemed to have shortfalls for my workflow. I would have like a smaller form factor, but hey it’s a big burr with enough power for light roast.

cool, thanks. you say that burrs are good but that they are not your favorite. My question is: what are your favorites?

I have a old macap m4 doser grinder that I'm very happy with other then the grind retention in the shute of the doser like to get hung up and need a finger or tool to get grinds out to get full dose. Would the df83 be a great upgrade from the macap or stick w the macap grinder? 58mm vs 83mm

I spy the EK43s hiding behind… Can’t wait to hear about that. How’s your DF83 compare?

I've been using the niche zero for about 2 years now and while I have loved it, I find the amount of static, as well as the trouble I have switching from espresso to brew grind settings (seems to lose some alignment after moving from espresso to filter and back), would the df 83v2 be much of an upgrade for filter brews?

The lid is the same size as the DF64 and other variations I believe, so you could purchase a metal one if you'd like, the metal one is heavier and a little more awkward to handle so some will prefer the wood. I'm sure you can also find someone who'd be willing to trade a metal lid for a wood lid! Side button is an improvement after the original DF64's the button was bellow the portafilter forks, so like bellow your cup, or portafilter so a little awkward to reach although I did find after getting used to the DF64, on the DF83 at first I was looking for the power button and then being like oh yeah it's moved! :D Everyone complains about the power cord placement, I think we're all in agreement, odd design choice :p Stands out a bit more maybe on the white version though! :o I didn't notice any difference in the feel of adjusting the DF64 over the DF83, both are relatively nice and smooth, not amazing but not something to complain about. DF64V is the their latest, it shares a similar spring to the DF83 and a whole new design vs the other DF64's more similar to the Lagom P64. On my V1 DF83 I noticed an improvement in clarity and reduction in body (less fines) by opening up the declumper a bit, Original V1 had a two layer declumper. It seems like the DF83 v2 has a similar declumper set up to my modded one now though with only the single layer door so should be similar. I find it's a good balanced burr and does well for filter too.

@Coffee Nerd Aaron..every DF83 V2/V3 I have had the rubber feet that the top burr fits into pops up and thus uneven grind.. How does Aaron stop this from happening?

Nice folks at Espresso Outlet!

As to espresso, which burr set for better clarity and still some body for medium roasts?

BDB review please!

How does it compare to the Rancilio stile?

Eureka Single Dose or df83 v2 ?

@Coffee Nerd Aaron are the burrs the same between df64 -v2 vs df83 v2 and if not which will be best for espresso? Ty

Hi Aaron, how would you compare the DF83 to Mahlkönig X54. Would it be a good upgrade ?

DF83 V2 or DF83V? 😮

Every time I clean out my grinder I can't see why they have to make the burrs screw in from the top. Burdesigners put a lot of effort into specific geometry and then mill giant holes in it. It seems counter intuitive . Now that others have achieved blind burrs, I don't see why any grinder coming out should not have blind burrs.

Pwrfection! ❤❤
